The Essential Companion of Heroic Adventurers
When I was a young teenager my sister and I were still playing imagination games, essentially live action roleplays with no defined rules.

With 30 characters and 54 class possibilities available, Dark Deity offers a wealth of customization to your party. Who you bring along and what class you make them can change how you approach each battle.
