Want to see me play a weird little creature with trust issues and no sensible answers to anything? Check this out 😂 (seriously, we had a great time and Marco is an amazing GM. Tune in for his character acting and voices alone!)

The first part of our new actual play is out! Join our four authors turned adventurers in Korvosa and find out how our four characters were all betrayed by the same man - and how a mysterious Harrow reading binds their fates together... Watch: youtu.be/LKlKFlK8bjA Listen: linktr.ee/narrativedam...

A promotional graphic for an actual play tabletop roleplaying game titled "HAUNTED FORTUNES Part 1". The background is dark red with faint magical runes. The top half features several ornate, tarot-style cards; a fan of six cards on the left depicts various fantasy figures, while a prominent card on the right, titled "The Betrayal," shows an elf-like figure holding a silver platter with a severed head. The bottom half features four illustrated fantasy characters with thick white outlines: a magic-user wielding blue energy, a grey dragon-like creature with crystal jewellery, a multi-eyed elf-like figure holding a staff, and a red-skinned, horned archer. The bottom corners contain logos for "Pathfinder Adventure Path" and "Played with Nimble: A fast, tactical TTRPG."
