[Deptheads] Virtual Gamex

[Strategicon Department Heads]

PFS is looking to run a number of games on Roll20 and or Fantasy Grounds throughout the weekend. We're putting together the specifics this week.

Currently I have about 15 GMs so we'll likely run 3 games over 8 to 10 slots that weekend.

Thanks,

~Jon
