Stephen R Wagner is the author of six books and is The Former Poet Laureate of Amesbury, Massachusetts.

Stephen's style of trivia eschews a traditional focus on pop culture, and instead looks to explore the fascinating facts of the universe all around us.

Virtual Tabletop Guild
Saturday, May 22 at 2:00 PM
An ancient darkness is on the rise as the Virtual Tabletop Guild begins the Age of Ashes campaign for Pathfinder 2nd Edition!
Nestled in the foothills of the Five Kings Mountains, the quaint town of Breachill has a proud tradition of assembling groups of adventurers to handle tasks beyond the skill and scope of their humble guardsmen. When during this month's Call for Heroes a humble goblin scholar beseeches the town council to investigate the signals for help from an abandonned Hellknight citadel, will our adventurers be up for the task? What strange creatures and bygone mysteries will they find hidden beneath Hellknight Hill?
Participants may create their own 1st level characters for Pathfinder 2nd edition to play as, or use available pregenerated characters. If you have any questions about this process or the system, feel free to send me an email!
The meeting will be conducted virtually via Discord and the Foundry virtual tabletop program.
--For Adults (18+) only.
Registration is required. A link to the Foundry game will be sent at least 15 minutes prior to event start time.
Registrants must have a stable internet connection, a microphone (integrated, external, or headset) and headphones/earbuds.
If you are interested in this program but are unable to attend, I would like to hear from you! Please send Marcus an email at mvalenzuela@haverhillpl.org with any questions or concerns regarding program scheduling and/or content.
