There is a beautiful part of a game like Dungeons and Dragons that is a core part of what we have modeled The Rusty Bison after. There are always going to trials, difficulty, challenges, etc – but you’re always going to have your party. The whole reason we get together is to have fun, and to work cooperatively to achieve a set of goals. As a company, we have goals too, but like any good campaign begins, we’ve got to start somewhere.
When you begin creating your character, you can see who you want to become. You can see yourself slaying a dragon, wearing the shiniest armors, and wielding weapons that inspire awe and fear in those around you. But in that moment you are just a level one character, with base stats and beginner gear. You only have one thing from the beginning that you will carry with you from the first step until your last – heart.
The Heart of The Bison
There might not be anything more important than your party when it comes to beginning and succeeding in any campaign. We believe this is our strength. We are a group of people excited to be a part of a community, and to try to give back to a community that has given us so much already. We are all in on our adventure, in taking a path together, and enjoying every step of the way. We are excited to learn, to grind, to level up, and to be ready to heal each other when the battles get tougher.
Our primary goal is not to run a business and make a load of money. There are countless websites, and sellers, who are happy shipping you products for a markup and calling it a day. Our goal is to put our skills and passions to use to create a better way to enjoy table top gaming. Using technology and unique ideas to create a more flexible and enjoyable experience at all skill levels.
The Final Battle
Our final goal with the Bison is to open a physical location dedicated to table top gaming and entertainment. In our dreams with this campaign, The Rusty Bison becomes an inn-style bar (and more to open, as time goes on) that can be a friendly and welcoming place to new players, but also an excellent place for the more seasoned players to go.
We have plans and continue to innovate our ideas for providing private areas for your party to adventure within, with full service food/drink, as well as digital tools to quickly begin your adventure. Along with these rooms, we also will be using our own on-staff Dungeon Masters who are there to host campaigns for those who don’t have the time to put toward it, and also to train new players who have never tried but want to learn.
Heart alone cannot slay the dragon, craft the armor, and learn the spells.
The Rusty Bison, Level One
Session One
As we mentioned, every campaign starts at level one. The Rusty Bison is no different. Heart alone cannot slay the dragon, craft the armor, and learn the spells. So we are aware that we need a beginning, and this is where we are now.
The Rusty Bison will be starting off on a smaller scale. We will be finding ways to provide better pricing and options for your gaming accessories. We will be releasing custom created tools that make your table top adventures more exciting and rewarding. Most importantly, we will be open about what we are doing, where we are going, and why we are doing it.
For updates on how our campaign is going, feel free to check out the Story Guide where we will be providing regular updates on our progress, ideas, and other details on where we are and what we’re doing.
As we’ve mentioned a few times, our primary goal is to provide something good to this community. If you can think of a way that we can help others have a better experience, or if there is something you just want to ask us, you can reach us by email and we will be happy to see what we can do!
Thanks for Reading and Joining us On Our Adventure!
