However you found your way here, whichever realm you hale from, or whatever alignment you've chosen - welcome to North by North Quest. NxNQ - a show that champions the belief that good stories make you feel things. So we aim to do just that - set out on this adventure using dnd5e mechanics to add randomness to where the story takes us and lets see where it goes...
