Four past GoHs. One programmer-turned-Dungeon-Master. A time-sensitive search for a lost piece of godhood, before its power runs amok. Join players Marie Bilodeau (author, HELL BORN), Mark Robinson (storm chaser, The Weather Network), DongWon Song (agent, Howard Morhaim Literary Agency) and Arley Sorg (co-editor, Fantasy Magazine) as they venture into the broken world of Aelda, in an original D&D one-shot by author & Can*Con programmer Brandon Crilly.
This event will take place on February 15th, 8:30 pm EST
