Rabea Rogge, the first German woman in space, recently posted a video demonstrating how to roll a twenty-sided die in zero gravity. It’s easy to throw dice when you’re in polar orbit, as Rogge was, but how do you land one? Magnetized dice trays, maybe?<\/p>\n

“We experimented a little,” Rogge says, before demonstrating that actually the best solution is the least complicated one. She flicks the D20 upward, putting a little English on it so it spins, catches it in her fist, and peers through the gap in the top of her hand to check the result. It’s a seven, so unfortunately she’s failed her Wisdom saving throw and contracted space madness.<\/p>\n

“So rejoice,” Rogge concludes. “Roleplaying in space is absolutely possible.” Which is true, so long as you’re not playing Shadowrun or casting a leveled-up fireball or anything that demands you roll a big wodge of dice all at once\u2014unless you don’t mind slowly rolling them one at a time.<\/p>\n

Rogge was part of SpaceX’s Fram2 mission, a polar orbit flight funded by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang. Dr. Christopher Combs, associate dean of research, mechanical engineering, at the University of Texas at San Antonio told CNN<\/a> that a private space flight around the poles was “a notch above gimmick, but not exactly a groundbreaking milestone.” Still, she’s been to space more than I have.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, NASA’s Artemis 2 flight around the moon has helped boost Kerbal Space Program’s concurrent player count to a record high<\/a>, despite the issue they had with Microsoft Outlook running two instances at the same time, neither of which worked<\/a>.<\/p>\n
