I may have not slept at all last night, and I may be playing dnd tonight. however this is fine, as my character is a little freak of a creature so this will surely only help my roleplaying abilities!

Decided to come up with 8 names for each of my 6 playbooks for a new game. Did I mentioned the names are all bog related, because I am very very on brand in all my game design!
