We(royally) have all had dreams of building a fort, escaping to a secret club house, defending a stronghold, or maybe even protecting others within the walls of our magical castle. Well, we can't exactly tell you how to make those dreams a reality.... But we can tell you how to play it out with your friends in DnD!!

This week in the Rose Garden, Caitie and Soren are reading through the 2024 Dungeon Masters Guide (they're not late, you were early) to talk about BASTIONS! Join our favorite gardeners while they read through what makes Bastions so interesting, how they differ from old systems, and how they can improve play around your table!

So rosebuds, build a pillow fort, post a sign saying "no stinkers allowed", and listen in while they tell you allllll about Bastions.
