Rumour has turned to action in the city streets now, as your guild finds itself under attack. There can only be one Thieves Guild in the city, so the time has come to put an end to this insult.

  1. Well done dirk and co, am intrigued by D&D 5e, and a lover of glorantha and RQ… A torn punter..

    1. If I was playing … I’d struggle to choose to be honest. I have a lot of affection for GANGBUSTERS because we played it so much back in the day. I’d like to play BOOT HILL because I love Westerns and have never played it … same goes for STAR WARS.
