Off With His Head
Gary Engler started playing D&D the same way all campaigns start, at a bar! After one of the bar regulars showed Gary and his friends D&D, they later transitioned to playing primarily Pathfinder and Pathfinder 2. In their games, they rotate GMs regularly and are no strangers to character death. However, during one of their challenging encounters, one of Gary's character builds managed to take down the enemy in record time.
