Critical Role Dungeon Master and voice actor Matthew Mercer ran a special one-on-one one-hour Dungeons & Dragons adventure for talk-show host Stephen Colbert. He led Colbert, who played Capo, a half-elf bard with a pet bee named Eric, through a special quest to investigate mysterious disappearances in the Menagerie Coast in Wildemount.

The show was part of Red Nose Day 2019 donation run, where donors chose Colbert's character class, his companion, the legendary weapon to be sought and the villain that Colbert's character faced. Colbert has not really played D&D since he was a teen (he's 55 this year), but he recalled his early days including owning a signed copy of the D&D handbook by Gary Gygax.

I've just set up a Patreon account here and updated the page link in our Contact section. It also includes our own Bitcoin public address (if anyone wants to contribute to our cause as a show of support and gratitude). The Novel section has just been completed, with a historical look on the genesis of ALLASTRIA the novel and MORTALISSAR the fantasy world. It's an interesting hero's journey of sorts (or 'story's journey') where I take the reader on a trail on how the story of Allastria first came about, the transitions it went through before becoming the novel it is today. Similarly, for Mortalissar, it was originally created as part of a role-playing game world I've created, but through many different iterations, it eventually became the fantasy world in which Allastria the novel, and her characters reside in.
