Thursday and Friday our weekly gaming group will be running a selection of games in Distlefink for your enjoyment. The benefits?
1. Every scenario has been playtested, picked apart, and deliberately tried to be broken to better anticipate unexpected results.
2. Battles and scenarios carefully picked for convention play where everyone has a chance to participate, make a difference in the battle, and has a legitimate chance to win. There will be no one stuck in reserve for 4 turns, shoved in the back of the board where they may roll dice once or twice in 4 hours, or any other such things most of us would not enjoy.
Stop by and check out these wonderful games by our multi award winning GMs (or hopefully preregister). We're always looking for more regulars for our games. Look for our Yellow Worm banner.
