D&D Dabblers

Welcome to D&D Dabblers, a monthly drop-in game I run of Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons. These stories (which I'll label here as Dabblers) are told in the universe of the game I'm running, and will tell some side-stories and backstories of my world. They are intended to help me with world-building and character-creation, but also to entertain.

For readers that are also playing my game, please keep in mind the difference between character knowledge and player knowledge. Enjoy trying to learn some of this information in-game as well!
