Playtest Helm’s Slain, a Dungeon Crawl

Returning to GrandCon for the 3rd Year!

The original D&D used 2d6 for combat, borrowed from Chainmail. Then came a little expansion book that introduced the d20—and the rest is history.

But what if that never happened? Helm’s Slain explores what the game might have become with a modern take on 2d6 combat. Join us for a fast, tactical, team-based dungeon crawl that feels both familiar and totally new.
