Dear Community,
We wish you and your loved ones to be safe and in good health.
These are the times that we show our will and determination towards doing our part in combating this wide spread Pandemic, for that I call upon your support to play a part in your community to help combat the current COVID-19 spread by Spreading Awareness, and engaging yourself and those around you to use and develop their skills.
As part of the recurring Monthly Challenge, we invite you the community to participates in creating content based on this month’s theme.
Abdulla Sultan is your regular 9-5 worker in Bahrain and leader of Tabletop House on the side. He was introduced to the world of Tabletop Roleplaying games in 2017 and since then has been an avid player and Dungeon Master since. He was given the role of leader in late 2019 and has been organizing events and handling the social media account to spread awareness about Tabletop Role playing games and many more! Currently he’s been working with different entities to try to host events and sessions where people can join online and even participate.
This month’s theme is titled “Phobias”, so surprise and amaze us.
Thanks goes to the amazing volunteers, partners, and sponsors of the community who without their support none of this would have been possible.
Yours Truly,
Muhammed Shehroz, Monthly Challenge Organizer
