Why we exist

Have you ever sat in a movie theater and found yourself yelling at the screen? “Stop talking and disarm the bomb already!” “Don’t go in there! HEEEEE’S in there!” “Why are you running UP the stairs? You’re going to get trapped!” Well, that is what we do every time we head to the theater. We’re a bunch of film geeks who love playing Dungeons & Dragons. So we thought it was a great idea to mash our two loves together and create role-playing games based on those very movies. This way, we can make the right decisions, save the world, and be home for dinner.
