The Rat King’s Tale
Herewith: the secret history of The Rat King. When the guys in the BROSR started kicking around ideas for factions they might play in the BROvenloft extravaganza, I decided to finally throw my crown in the ring. Instead of a military power like that of Kangsta Wrapper the mummy...
