Canonical page: https://dungeonmasterchronicles.com/

Every adventure is a contract for the Dustcloaks, a guild of explorers based at Ruinwatch Keep in the island city of Maneth, in the kingdom of Vildenlund. Each opens with a Guild Contract and closes with a Guild Debrief, so any mix of players can join any session, and regular players earn renown across sessions.
