The JIF campaign

The JIF campaign

Our Dungeons and Dragons Campaign leads to almost as much scribbling than dicing. Set in the legendary world of the Forgotten Realms. This blog serves as a living novel, documenting our journey through the eyes of those who live it. Each session report offers a unique, in-character perspective on the perils and triumphs of adventuring.

Our story follows an unlikely trio of heroes:

• Finn, the streetwise Halfling Rogue with a knack for finding trouble (and exits).
• Jonathan, a devoted Halfling Priest standing as the moral compass of the group.
• Inez, a striving Gnome Wizard whose arcane mastery is often or not the saving grace.

On this page you'll find the links to our stories of Jonathan, Finn and Inez in a 'historically correct, logical, chronological' order.
