Questions 3 and Looking Back at ‘The Compass Key’

Posted on March 12, 2024 by Charles Yallowitz

Legends of Windemere: The Compass Key was an odd book for me to write.  In terms of the game, it covers half of one campaign and the entire one after.  This meant the previous volume ended on a cliffhanger.  I really … Continue reading →

Posted on December 12, 2023 by Charles Yallowitz
