There are also eight pregenerated characters to throw at this adventure. As always, it could come in handy to have a backup or two...

Very happy with the look and feel of this thing. We're leaning hard into that folky, esoteric weirdness. Ragged edges, decorative details, simple and worn. Hand-carved, splintered, dark. Full of spells, secrets, and age-old danger.

Also, making shit pretty isn't exactly difficult with Tania's art.

FOMORIA IS HERE

A side project ive been working on

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX
