Do you do any of these in your game? Honestly I think we have all done at least one of these in our games. Lets also talk about how not to do these also.
Who are we?
We are just a couple of nerds who enjoy the game. Ralph, who has been running games, and Conner, who has watched his father run the games and who has ventured out into the world to run some of his own. Together we talk about our passion for role playing and some of our adventures along the way.
Please enjoy this journey with us.
