Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
(Usually my campaign updates aren’t quite as crafting-heavy as this one will be, but given I’ve been working up to this one for a few months, I can’t help myself. I think I’m mentally viewing it as the culmination of “phase 1” of my interest in the crafting side of this hobby.) The Wild Sheep […]
