    Movember D&D Dadventure: The Festival of the Mo & the Mustache Heist

    - We take a break from our regular play to promote Movember. Meet a new crew of adventurers with your favourite DM CJ.

    For Movember, a group of Australian doctors/dads with elite mustaches gather for a special D&D one-shot supporting men’s health. In the warm town of Oakhaven during the Festival of the Mo, the party’s characters—Mandoff the Swole, Morrigan Mook, Mamwise Hamcheese, Milmo Manjens, and Madagast—meet amid chaotic festival antics and rumors of raided beard-oil deliveries, strange mustached mushrooms, and talk of snow. When a masked bandit steals a sacred dial from the statue of Mo-ria and flees into the forest, the dads give chase past a riddle-trolling bridge and into underground tunnels.
