When you’re building a new

character, where do you start?
Name, class, appearance, backstory? Something else?
Do you try to make a great PC, or just bare bones and see what happens?
You’re on a stagecoach being chased by a horde of zombies 🧟♀️
The road ahead is blocked 🚫

Your

character faces a crackling tear in the fabric of reality
Mysterious voices call you to step through - but you know it could be a trap
What do you do?
A reminder that our game allows no revivify or resurrection spells - so if a character dies, they’re gone 💀🪦

In our next episode (out tomorrow) our guys discuss their toughest ever roles - including a "nightmare spider" and a silent otter
