Dungeons & Dragons After Hours One Shot

Highland Heroes: The Thistle Crown Heist

When the Highland Games end and the lanterns glow, a small group of heroes gathers at the table, called upon to restore balance to the clans before dawn.

The one shot will take place on Saturday, March 28 at 7:30 pm.

Meet Our Dungeon Masters!

AJ Jennings

How long have you been guiding adventurers through chaos?
5–10 years

What do you love most about being a Game Master?
I love helping my players immerse themselves into the stories we tell. Together, with their input, we can create something amazing.

Favorite fantasy trope, monster, or theme?
My absolute favorite trope is the use of ancient magic and how it's used. How it shapes the worlds that I build and how that affects society.

Is there anything players should know before sitting at your table?
I make very silly voices and accents and I apologize in advance! But it's all in good fun!

DM Mick

How long have you been guiding adventurers through chaos?
Since the dragons were young

What do you love most about being a Game Master?
I love to create tales that have a lot of character and given life by imaginitive players. Mostly though, I like when the players are satisfied because: I'm not until they are!

Favorite fantasy trope, monster, or theme?
I don't really have one, but Demons if I had to pick one.

Is there anything players should know before sitting at your table?
Follow the player order, I never leave people out.

Mimics!

Jackson

How long have you been guiding adventurers through chaos?
1–3 years

What do you love most about being a Game Master?
I enjoy being able to craft a couple encounters and see how my players will get themselves into and out of trouble. It is astounding fun to take even the failures and weave a good time out of it.

Favorite fantasy trope, monster, or theme?
I would have to say that one of my favorite tropes is the cursed artifact/boon. Something that seems cool and innocuous but is highly devastating or the over powered weapon that causes madness. Makes the players make interesting and potentially devastating consequences.

Is there anything players should know before sitting at your table?
I enjoy the creative roleplay aspects and will let you try anything but know that the dice giveth and the dice taketh away.

Divine interference
