This Year’s Goals
Pineleaf –
- Reach H-level 30
- Lessen my list of unplayed games
- Create a new Artificer/Stormsinger to test out the new Rune Arms – get to Ravebnloft at least to also test the new Sealed in Amber and Catastrophe
Drac-
- Hit Lvl 30 On Kyber.. Run Strahd Raid.
- Start a brand new level 1 Dark Hunter and see how high of level I can get
- Video Games With Friends
- Keep Having More Board Games Nights With Friends
