“Amazing job running a table of six people and condensing a campaign packed with material while letting us each try to tell a bit of our story!” - Aethelas
“This was easily the smoothest and most cohesive game I've ever been in (though that was probably the point of turning it into an event, lol), not to mention the most unique story.” - Spenser
“Go with like-minded friends ready to spend most of the day on the campaign if you can, but even if you go alone, you'll likely meet new people just as excited about playing as you are!” - Kevin
