Session zero of a new in-person 3-session adventure took place this afternoon! Session 1 to take place in two weeks on Sat. 4/5!

#ShadowlightAndPersonaeRPG #TricksOfShadowlight Episode 1 happened last night! @xyxyrslaad.bsky.social @mirmtrain.bsky.social @mamacaden.bsky.social pirated some pirates, helped some jail-broken prisoners & are off to investigate the refugees' home star system where the Authority took control.
