“I would say a once in a lifetime experience but once you go you just want to keep coming back!”

This Campaign will haunt me in my dreams…in a good way. This was an incredible campaign that absolutely shredded my heart…again in a good way. I cared so much, and I feel like I walked away from this experience with the newfound confidence in my ability to DM and I definitely walked away as a better player.
