Veil of Whispers
In Tales from the Table.
A D&D campaign about rescuing a kidnapped princess. Started in January 2024—a new year with new players, new adventures, and new opportunities to wreak havoc and terrify the townspeople. And this time I got to be a player!
This campaign was run by Gustav, who promised it would be short, and that it wasn’t going to be a joke campaign. He lied on both counts. After the princess quest, which the adventure was initially supposed to end with, it sort of turned into Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
