  • Great group of grognards

    Great group of grognards who walk the lands and swim the waters AD&D 2e, facing all manner of earth-shattering tempests. Mark my words, to meet them is to travel the lands of Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Dark Sun, Planescape, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Mystara, Greyhawk, Lankhmar, Al-Quadim, Birthright, Mystara and much more! A lot of fun. I’ve been listening to them since the early 2010s and it’s great to see the band back together.
