We’re rapidly sprinting towards the end of 2022 and after several years building up the Assorted Meeples group and brand, I decided for this year’s reflection I’d combine it with another end of the year activity that has become a common tradition: doing something fun that I can claim is work while actually dodging everything …
As more DnD One PDFs are released fleshing out what the future edition (or editions) of Dungeons & Dragons are going to look like, one of the major changes that has created a lot of conversation among the Meeples is how feats have changed from 5E to the new DnD One system that is being …
