Titled        The Lost Universe, this system-agnostic adventure is free    to download and most certainly worth a read.  <\/p>\n<p>    Here's the central thrust: a dragon kidnapped a bunch of alien    wizards and forced them to rip the Hubble Telescope out of our    reality. Yes, really.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"Eirik linked to the Hubble Space Telescope after learning of    its observations that have propelled understanding of black    holes and dark energy (similar to the energy of the vacuum) on    Earth  this drew the attention of a young dragon, Isilias, who    stole the spell Eirik created, as well as Eirik himself and his    fellow researchers, in order to steal Hubble itself so Isilias    alone would possess its knowledge.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Rather than simply confusing a bunch of NASA scientists on    Earth, this actually caused the Hubble to be removed from    reality entirely. The adventure depicts a group of    faintly-baffled researchers at NASAs Goddard Space Flight    Center in Greenbelt, Maryland: \"A subtle ache lives in your    mind, insisting that youre forgetting something, but its    always just out of reach. The more you try to remember, the    worse the pain gets.\" Then you all black out and wake up as    D&D characters.  <\/p>\n<p>    It sounds like I'm poking fun herebut it's the exact kind of    earnest silliness that makes for a good game of tabletop. It's    also reminiscent of the classic     D&D cartoon from the 80s, wherein a group of teenagers    are magically transported to a fantasy land at the behest of a    disturbing-looking dungeon master.  <\/p>\n<p>    While the game is technically system-agnostic, the adventure    itself recommends a \"party of 4-7 level 7-10 characters\".    Though if we're going with the adventure's suggested    protagonist (a young green dragon from D&D 5e) a party of    level 10 characters would make mincemeat of Isilias in a few    rounds. There's ultimately quite a bit of homebrew the DM will    need to bring in, in order to this to make it all click with    their table.  <\/p>\n<p>    But there's some genuinely fun fantasy concepts at work here,    too. Wizard Planet (Exlaris, by its proper name) is a rogue    world that drifted out of orbit, protected from the ravages of    space with an artificial magic atmospherewhich is a neat    setting idea to run with, even if you don't want to play NASA    Isekai. If you do, however, the adventure's sprinkled with    educational tidbits that'll teach you plenty of scientific    history.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/nasa-releases-an-official-tabletop-adventure-thats-brave-enough-to-ask-what-would-earth-be-like-if-a-dragon-kidnapped-a-bunch-of-dandd-wizards-and-stole-the-hubble-space-telescope\/\" title=\"NASA releases an official tabletop adventure that's brave enough to ask: what would Earth be like if a dragon ... - PC Gamer\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA releases an official tabletop adventure that's brave enough to ask: what would Earth be like if a dragon ... - PC Gamer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> I am pleased beyond belief that the sentence: \"There is an official NASA D&#038;D adventure that's just an Isekai anime with scientists\" is verifiably true.
