THE POWER OF STORY! Destination Fantastic isn't just a "D&D travel show", it's two unique storytellers' adventures into the depths of myth, legend, and creating story on fantastic but real locations while meeting amazing people! Stefan Pokorny and Satine Phoenix tell us all about it and how we can help make it happen. Plus: Down and dirty DM / GM tips. Therapeutic D&D. Iceland. Elf whisperer. A real druid's grove. Ley lines. DON'T ride the dragon, CREATE and SHAPE the dragon. David Lee Roth. Frikkin' lasers. Disco Night at The Yawning Portal. Stefan wants to tackle Peter Jackson (OK, not really). Satine wants to put Stefan on her shoulders and run around the world with him (yes, really). More!
