We had a great time at Dexlite gaming convention. The first play test of ShadowWest adventure “Shades of Hellhound Trail” was a hot! Had many successful games of TrashSexy and D&D. Great to meet so many new and see old friends. #ttrpg #rpg #convention #d&d #shadowdark #trashsexy #dungeonsanddragons
