Unwelcome Dental Advice

A sad day has come and gone in my little circle. We completed a year’s long endeavor of Dungeons and Dragons campaigning. I’m the Dungeon Master – read: head dork – of my group and while everyone was enjoying the story they’ve been working on for a year (well, it would have been a full year in April), we voted and came to the decision that we needed to move on from the world I created so that others may get a chance at being head dork.

It’s bittersweet in a way, because all the work and planning I put into the game, all the world building and creation of personalized “epic” items for each player, has finally come to a head. I was able to truncate what I had planned for their finale into a few last sessions and give each player a proper send-off based on a single decision made by the individual players.

However, this is not the end. I planted my group in a world created by me for my upcoming book series, and while I don’t have dwarves and elves in the world I made for the books (but for the purpose of DnD, allowed them to make said races), their characters will live on in the annals of that world’s history. So, if you are ever reading my books in the future, and you come across exploits of characters named Amavi (Left – Druid), Willa (Left Center – Rogue), Lyra (Right Center – Barbarian), and Juniper (Right – Druid), know that these are the adventures of my dearest friends and my wife (she was Juniper the Druid of the Circle of Land (Swamp)).

The players of my group are the reason that the Eight bear down on the world they hail from, the reason that the Dragons have left the Vekh Imperium, and the reason the world can still call upon the God Leviathan. They fought the Imperium, helped the Rebellion, and visited the Lands of the Dead. They bested the Gnoll Fang of Yeenoghu, fought a black dragon and managed to polymorph it, and even killed a Corrupted Beholder at level 10.

Hail the Champions of the Northern Kingdoms: Amavi Aureum, Willa Thistlefoot, Lyra Forcesplitter, and Juniper LeVeau.
