Stretch Goals included:Players roll two six-sided dice, referred to as "Red Dice" in the game manual, and may then move up to that number of squares. A player does not need to move the full amount of the roll and can end movement at any time. Players may move over a square occupied by another player if the occupying player grants permission, but may not occupy the same square. Doors, monsters, and other objects are placed on the board by the evil wizard player according to line of sight. Once placed on the board they are not removed unless killed, thereby providing a steady stream of monsters for the evil wizard player to use. Hall, Charlie (November 15, 2021).

This campaign feels like the designers set the difficulty to hard mode. The new monsters are fantastic but can be very powerful, especially if encountered in large numbers or in corridors, and you can't get all of your characters engaged.
