So… my cousin called me.

“Uh… hey…,” said he, drifting off on the other end.

“Hey, man, what’s up…?” I answered.

“Um… have you heard of a thing called Dungeons & Dragons?” he asked. I paused, looking at the massive floor to ceiling bookshelf that contains most of my role-playing books.

“Yes,” I said. “What do you want to know?”

“Do you know anyone who plays it?” asked he.

“Uh-huh.”

“Do you know anyone that runs it?”

Three years later, we are into our fourth major adventure. The player-base has grown, the characters have become super tight, and my poor players are currently on their way to fight their very first lich in a homebrew setting.

This is their story.
