[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 9303660, member: 2209"] So I finished up the class a while ago and it was fun. We always did a little improv game warm up then the sustained campaign with [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/231938/kids-on-bikes-core-rulebook?affiliate_id=17596']Kids on Bikes[/URL] reskinned to be D&Dish.
