    Ed'varay Fiero, a Restless Ranger - Tributes and Transcendentalism with Beardic Inspiration (System Agnostic)

    Ed'varay Fiero, a Restless Ranger - Tributes and Transcendentalism with Beardic Inspiration (System Agnostic)

    Nate (Beardic Inspiration) brings Ed'varay Fiero to the table. Ed'varay is a noble ranger, restlessly wandering in search of transcendental experiences.

    Nate and I discuss creating random characters for real people, being shaped by your environment, and the controversy surrounding Wizards of the Coast's attempt to withdraw the Open Gaming License (OGL).

    This character is system agnostic.

    Nate grew up in the small town of Seward, Alaska as a theatre kid who grew up working on boats. He’s now a boat captain living in California who fell in love with TTRPGs and is now working to get more into that space professionally through storytelling and character creation.
