Greetings Adventurers. As we endeavor to grow dark dice into a larger multimedia world,

0:07.0

we realize that it would be necessary to, well, actually include our own world.

I have been running an ongoing campaign in my personal D&D games for over the past 25 years.

0:17.0

The world is the product of my imagination from age eight, onward, shaped by the events of

0:21.7

30-plus friends and players, and, most notably, refined by key contributors like Caitlin Stats,

0:27.3

James Lengrich, Nala Wu, Athor Withjerson, Jordan Cobb, Victor Ramirez, and Hem Cleveland.

0:32.8

We have refined many elements of this world during our previous isolated adventures and during

0:37.1

our Pride Month event, but we are about to go much deeper as our one-shot adventure pushes into an open

track our world-building progress on our Patreon if you're so inclined. And if it helps at all,

1:15.7

you can simply attribute the old names as being the byproducts of poor memory, or perhaps,

1:20.4

high-stress damage, in difficult situations. Two more quick notes. First, I would like to really

1:25.8

address again that this epilogue story

1:27.7

is an open-world adventure using the term very loosely. Domain of the Nameless God, our previous

1:32.8

story, was a very closed system akin to a haunted house. If you absolutely don't find this story

1:38.2

as fun as that haunted house, rest assured we will be returning to form in 2022 with Story 2, Shores of the Silver Thrum.
