Feral Adventures Playtest Details Hello folks and welcome to the

participate if you do not wish. If you
are interested in helping with illustrations, layouts, HeroLabs (Classic)
or Fantasy Grounds coding or other aspects of the game please
send me a private message on discord or roll20. The playtest material may be
found on Google

experience with the pathfinder system. Character Creation Rules During the first round of playtesting
