Some of our products come with a little Sentry Box magic...and can join in your adventures when you play Role Playing Games *

*so long as your DM is cool, and you haven't forgotten your familiar at home*

These cute little Keychain Familiar's come to you from Montreal craftswomen channeling the Dragon's Hoard. With a little help from you they can come alive. You will need to describe to your dm how you have come upon this creature in game, and how they have come to travel with you. For some critters there are creative logistics to figure out. Once they have officially joined your Party they unlock their daily powers. There might be a learning curve. Then, as your bond grows stronger you will earn a once in a lifetime power that can only be used one time. Use them wisely and let them enhance your role playing experience with a little bit of creativity and whimsy!
