Loge still stuck in that bloody house!
I took a bit of a break from the blog there. Between moving to a new larger house and the birth of my son, I thought I'd take a time out. Here's what's going on with Loge for the last few sessions of the game. The party rests and comes back to the townhouse. Brambles … Continue reading Loge still stuck in that bloody house!

With Mr Easy's help, we managed to … Continue reading Loge runs away
