Monday D&D with Dungeon Master McCracken

Monday D&D with Dungeon Master McCracken

The tale of Pesta has a way of settling into those who hear it, and most will find it difficult to forget. It is, at its heart, a tale that moves through places and people alike, touching some briefly, lingering with others. An encounter here, a rumor there, a shadow that seems familiar even when one cannot say why.

Table rules: No devices (except for gaming purposes, at the DM's discretion.)
Registration is not required, but preferred, and it guarantees you a seat. You can register here: https://forms.gle/m1uYXYguWTh7m46W6
