YZ World Building: Dragonbane

April 8, 2023 by Charles Dunwoody Leave a Comment

YZ Worldbuilding: Ruins of Symbaroum Call of the Dark

March 7, 2023 by Charles Dunwoody Leave a Comment

The PCs must take sides, and their decision will profoundly affect the campaign world going forward. Religion and politics are intertwined in this world, and the final adventure in particular, marries the two into a complex and dangerous scenario.
