Co-sponsored by the New Brunswick Public Library, Piscataway Public Library, and the East Brunswick Public Library. Funding provided by the East Brunswick Friends of the Library.

Player: Angela Lee (East Brunswick PL)
Character Name: Dewey
Class: Cleric
Race: Owlin
Dewey (full name O'er Dewey) is an Owlin cleric with a fondness for collecting trinkets and helping others; his charitable and caring nature aside, he is chronically late and absent-minded but well-meaning and can be found getting lost in stacks of books in his spare time, as an apprentice page. Dewey lives a comfortable life at home with their horde of tea and sweets but secretly thirsts for adventure (his fellow owl kin turn up their beaks at him for not making better use of his wings).

 

Player: Saleena Davidson (South Brunswick PL)
Character Name: Banxi Peridothewer
Class: Artificer (Alchemist)
Race: Gnome
Banxi Peridothewer is always looking for a way to make things better (though doesn't always think things through, and sometimes makes them worse).  Bureaucracies are so inefficient, and they just want to fix all the sticking points so all knowledge, books and materials get to people FASTER!  Banxi is non-binary and friendly and easily excited but also sometimes forgetful (so many shiny new things to invent!).

Player: Carina Gonzalez (Piscataway PL)
Character Name : Gramata Spinebreaker
Class: Barbarian Librarian
Race: Tiefling

 

Player: Marco Arias (New Brunswick PL)
Character Name : Tayatzin de Maderas
Class: Sorcerer (Storm)
Race: Human

 

Player: Michael Bobish (East Brunswick (PL)
Character Name: Arvon Botrull
Class: Rogue
Race: Vedalken

Arvon was born into a life of mid-tier royalty. Although he wanted for nothing, Arvon quickly grew board of palace intrigue and found himself drawn to the seedier elements outside of his opulent home. Floating between royal circles by day and nights on the streets, Arvon learned skills such as pickpocketing, lockpicking, and fast-talking (much to the chagrin of his proper parents). When he came of age, Arvon surprised polite society by walking away from the royal life in search of “adventure.” Arvon is equally adept in royal court circles and seedy pubs, and his charming nature belies his true, unspoken motivations.

 

Player: Amelia Grant (East Brunswick PL)
Character Name : Daffodil
Class: Druid (shepherd)
Race: Halfling

Daffodil (Goes by Daf) is a shy halfling that roams the woods with her Tortoise 'Slow'. She really only talks to Slow and has been on her own for 20 years.
