  • Magnificent

    I just discovered this great show looking for content to learn D&D by exposure and im hooked, im currently watching their Spelljammer campaign which is quite old and yet the quality is top. They have hundreds of hours of all different kinds of campaigns so i definitely recommend to give it a hear.

  • Can’t handle this rules ruination. Lost at kender too!!!!

    Wonderful story, just not a fan of any situation, where the viewers can influence how the game plays or functions just as a huge turn off
