Near the end of our second session playing Forbidden Lands, my character was hit with a fear attack that knocked their Wits (normally 2) to zero, meaning they were Broken. This meant a roll on the Critical Injuries – Horror table. I rolled Nightmares for (1d6) 4 days.

More to come!

I loved this show so much as a kid! I can’t quite say this video gives me goosebumps as soon as the music starts, but it’s close.

Austin, TX. TTRPGs, music, software engineering, parenting. Not in that order in real life, but probably in that order online.
