LotRL Short Stories - Am I Redeemable Part 1
As our hero assist the brothers of St. Minrad, a mysterious figure dashes away along the rooftops.
=====================================================
Hello Brothers and Sisters! Sometimes, in the game that is our show, I am unable to completely tell the story of a character that I want to tell. I don't want to railroad my players, but at the same time I am kind of sad that my prep work won't be shown off. Such is the life of a GM for any tabletop role playing game.
Instead of throwing it all away, I have decided to tell the stories anyway. Introducing the first LotRL Short Stories, Am I Redeemable Part 1.
Thank you so much for listening, and God Bless!
======================================================
