The breakthrough got here after I realized that what I liked most about our long-running marketing campaign wasn’t simply the adventures, however the characters.
Tabletop RPGs are considered one of my biggest passions, and these characters have grow to be real associates to me. That may sound unusual to some individuals, however I’ve a sense most beans on World Anvil know precisely what I imply. With the ability to inform their tales and watch their lives obtain the Most Stunning World award has been fully sudden and completely thrilling!
Destiny’s Misfits is, above all, a love letter to our perpetually GM, my fantastic husband, Arktouro, and to all of the unforgettable moments we shared across the desk.
World Anvil gave these reminiscences a house. It turned years of adventures into one thing I may share with others. On high of that, it introduced some unbelievable new associates into my life, and for that I’ll at all times be grateful.
