We join the table of Jonathan Blevins and roll the dice to create Jermaine. Not a Bard, Not a New Zelander...but a troglodyte cartographer! Using his underground cave walls, he has maps of every land, every location, every place. All except for the Island of the Sun God.

We join the table of Claire Sullivan & Michaelie Love to roll the dice to create a mirrored pair of Couatls! Drawing inspiration from Robin Hood, there is a mysterious origin story and usurping of power that has these serpentine guardians living as outlaws and bandits. They need the help of your adventuring party to infiltrate the nearby enemy camp to steal their plans and prevent the future peril!

We join the table of Fenway Jones and roll the dice to create Gertrude. Young (for a high elf), ambitious, ready for adventure -- but stuck being the scribe of a famous bard, ghostwriting his epic life's story. Recently, the bard's latest exploit left out a crucial detail: the fate of an animal handler in the employ of a lord and his eccentric petting zoo!

We return to the table of Brady Effler and roll the dice to create Professor Hank. No, not the blue-furred X-Men, but an adult emerald dragon! However, he is an educator with enthusiasm for poetry and a past history most intense. Luckily, Professor Hank needs your help protecting some scrolls and books of ancient poets from "rats in a basement"...

In death, she serves Pete the Necromancer, trying to recover seven fabled rings. Will your party follow the tip and take a trip to some nearby crypt to resurrect a skeleton?

We return to the table of Daniel Silver, who shares another NPC of his creation: a smooth-talking swindler with debonair savoir-faire, simply known by his calling card "The Collector". This gentleman thief has resources, skill, and finesse to pull off daring heists and legendary capers. The fact that your party stumbled upon this mythic moonlighter means that infiltrating the BBEG HQ just got a lot more interesting...

We join the table of Joshua Simons and roll the dice to create Sahara. Receiving our inspiration from "The Far Side", we create a dragonborn blacksmith, who some might say is a misanthrope based on their slick nature, but really, they are a lycanthrope. But with a heart forged in the fires of life, Sahara cares for their community and needs your help with fulfilling either possible sidequest they offer.

We join the table of Gary Barker and roll the dice to create Jack Splash & Wayne. We RETURN to Fantasyland in an unlikely pair of tax collectors and protection for Freetown in the Underdark: Jack Splash, an albino manticore covered in paint splashes for intimidation and his boss, Wayne, a grimlock with the gift of gab. Each NPC offers you wildly different sidequests with even weirder results, depending on failure or success...
