Using the powerful Roll20 platform, we are able to provide our players with an unforgettable experience, using lighting, music, full image backgrounds and maps!

Since then we have partnered with the insanely talented 2D Storyteller who has created fully animated maps and assets for some of our modules! In only 10 short months we have been able to publish 5 fully plug-and-playable modules all fully integrated into Roll20! As head content creator and marketplace manager DM Lytha will be running 2 of these modules over the Game-Itoba Convention weekend, as well as a returning fan favourite! She will also be hosting a drop-in 5e character creation workshop where new players can learn how to create their own 5e characters and veterans can learn new tips and tricks on how to make the best builds possible.
