501’er The 501st had a simple job, take back a small French village from the Axis, they never made it. A strange storm came up as they marched under the cover of night. Winds like none had ever seen, lightening in all the strangest colors, soon the world itself seemed to shake to the thunder […]
Back when I used to run D&D Encounters at my local (then local) game store I had an eight-year-old kid who was part of the “core group” (the people who showed up weekly). He was an imaginative kid, and loved to play rogues (I let my core group make their characters). He, however, always wanted […]
