With these rules heroes can take direct responsibility for governing land, temples, or mercenary companies, allowing them to make decisions that will lead to prosperity or ruin.

Have you ever been sitting around a game table and caught a wiff of something that just doesn’t belong at the game table? Have you ever been frustrated out of your mind because another just won’t stop talking? Have you ever not wanted to play your character because one character in the part just makes you feel inferior? If so you just might want to read this article.
