All new Oxventures to Look Forward to

Here is a rough outline of what they’ve got coming out. Their first 2024 one-shot, D&D But… Everyone’s a Kobold, has already premiered and can be enjoyed on their YouTube right now. Outside Xtra‘s Luke Westaway led this endearing adventure, using a Random Kobold Generator to quickly create new characters for the players who struggled against a group of adventurers intruding on their home.
