Throughout the Planescape there are countless wars between good and evil, lawful and chaotic. Forces of great power shift the very nature of reality. These are not their stories...
Join the crew of the Per Aspera as they make a living in the expanse of the scape. No job is too odd, no region too remote for this motley crew of adventurers. From the fiery City of Brass to the winding woods of the Feywild, they'll go wherever the day takes them aboard their trusty Spelljammer.
Every episode of this D&D 5e actual play podcast follows a different entry in the adventures of the Per Aspera, and are intended to be watched in any order your heart desires. Follow the tale from the beginning, or jump in along the way, however you listen it's sure to be a wild ride!

Rolling with Difficulty Season 5 Episode 7: “Descent”
The final confrontation begins. The Per Aspera descends the Abyss, on the heels of the Dreadnaught. The forces of evil may stand against them, but as they speed through the Planescape, the only thing between the crew and breaking the rules of Spelljamming, is their own will. ---Our show contains fantasy violence (and the occasional foul language), treat us like a PG-13 program!---

Customer Reviews
Restore scrolls.
You guys bought two greater restoration scrolls back in sigil. You should have what you need to restore Vos.
A magnificently edited real play adventure!
I found this podcast via a couple of the players other works (shout out Sophia and Red of Moviestruck and OSP respectively) and I tried to get into it early on without much success. I bounced off of it like I have with most actual play podcasts at first while just trying to listen casually, but thanks to a long road trip recently I got through enough episodes to make it through the train heist and subsequent planescape high speed chase episodes and I've been hooked since! Austin is a masterful DM and really putting his all into this adventure, and I love his house rules for monks and crits especially. Everyone has fun characters and play's them well. Sophia does a great job editing and producing and the show is well paced, a solid adventure in each episode so far while maintaining a fun continuity. It definitely took everyone an episode or two to start feeling comfortable, but the time investment has been well worth it! Highly recommended even(or especially if) you've bounced off of other less edited real play podcasts, or if you're tired of the material plane in your campaigns and want a DnD adventure based on a more sci-fi-fantasy high concept. The show pitches a kind of Cowboy Bebop/Firefly vibe; but the crew quickly come together as more of a group of heroes exploring the planescape in a very Star Trek kinda way. Love the show, love the cast and crew and characters, loving the music(which they've added more of on the second season and I'm hoping that continues as I make my way thru!) Also special thanks again to OSP shouting out the podcast enough that I remembered it long enough(after four seasons XP) to give it a second try and get hooked properly this time!
Come your the planes!
I’ve been trying to find a planescape adventure for a long time. This is terrific!
