If you didn’t like her as a two-bit supporting role, You’re going to Hate her as a guest star
Recently I had occasion to experience quite a lot of feedback on one of the Non-Player Characters in my game.

The Gopher King: Chapter 18
Malindra awoke from her sleep with a sudden awareness that she didn’t know for certain where those bedeviling adventurers were.

My host was by every measure a nobleman, both in title and in deportment.

The Gopher King: Chapter 17
Malindra wasted no time upon returning to her so-called home in finding Jorwan and in her most demanding tone said, “Bring me the laziest scullery maid in the entire hobgoblin brood. Now.” The Viceroy retreated up to his tower room to focus on his own schemes for the time being while the night hag went … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 17

The Big Sesh
Dungeons & Dragons is ideally the kind of activity where all participants are present for every session. Unfortunately the game does not always attract the kind of people that can reliably be counted upon to show up for every game.
