Opportunity Actions: RPGKids Review

Opportunity Actions: Hybridizing Gameplay
It’s tough. People’s schedules just don’t always line up the way we’d like them to. People move. People get married, have kids, and other things that make getting together less and less possible. So, what do you do? Many groups call it quits after they find they can’t get together once every week, month, or [...]
