Shelfside's thoughts and impressions after reaching level 4 in Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread! A campaign board game heavily inspired by ttrpg's like dnd, players will create characters to adventure and roleplay with a d20 checks system and pre-painted minis! With by far the BEST components we've ever seen coming out of massive kickstarter projects alongside incredibly smooth story and tactical gameplay using 2 standard and 1 minor actions from your loadout of equipment and abilities.
