May 20, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Heidi and Erik have experience with Kickstarter and a 100% (of 1) success with Till Death Do Us Part, which was a wedding gift of a D&D adventure. As a result, I see Tomb of the Dundel Chief as a post-wedding Kickstarter.

May 18, 2023 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment
