🐲 Dungeons and Dragons: D20 Magic
From the Siege of Bodenburg beginnings to the now digital D&D Beyond, the highly immersive D&D game play has been a nerd staple since the 70's. The campaigns capture all the elements of the fantasy world: A detailed story world, imaginative characters, and epic monsters. We don't just read about it. We decide how the story goes!
D&D isn't all fun and games. It's work, too.
Ask any DM (Dungeon Master) and they'll tell you the number of hours it took to get ready for their current campaign. It takes dedication. Players need to commit to showing up and engaging in the game play. Read on for tips and resources . . .

Enter the world of a Dungeon MasterStoryteller and sage, the DM spins an immersive tale in which players interact. Owner of Twisted Tabletop and producer of the Scales of Fate project Michael Freeman understands the effort of collaborative storytelling: "I believe roleplay has a cathartic and therapeutic effect when one has the ability to influence and shape the ongoing story, especially for those who feel like they don't have control of unfortunate events that impact their lives. What makes Scales of Fate unique is the "close to home" style. Everyone at the table are regular people who leave their mark on the game. My hope is Scales of Fate will inspire others to follow their dreams, express themselves, and feel confident about making their own mark on the world." Look for the next Torn Parchment blog post where Michael takes a deep dive into the D&D world.

A voracious reader and movie-lover, Yuri spent much of his childhood years world-building and concocting adventures before being forced to grow up. Lucky for Yuri, we know nerds never have to grow up!
