Hey folks!
We’re almost done writing Drawn from the Margins, our newest Troika adventure, but before we finish, we wanted to offer a sneak peek to our blog readers! Here it is – Six Troika classes! They’re tailor-made to our new adventure but usable in any. Check them out, and let us know what you think!
Class List
1
Naughty Monk – You were out for a little gambling, drinking, and ‘pardon-me-vicar-is-that-a-sausage?’ when you accidentally fell asleep in a friendly bed. You are slouching back to the monastery, practicing your explanation for the abbot, when you hear the cries of your fellows.

5
Piper Dude – As a traveling minstrel, you never pass up a chance to spread your legend. You’re on your way to Inkwell Abbey to exchange musical notes with their Choirmaster. You refuse to explain the bird on your head.
