ADVENTURERS LEAGUE CODE OF CONDUCT
The document below was written by Wizards of the Coast as a code of conduct for all Adventurers League events. Gritty Goblin Games abides by this document. This Code of Conduct can also be found in the Player's Guide for each season of Adventurers League.
D&D Adventurers League play is meant to be inclusive, fun, and safe. All participants (players, Dungeon Masters, and organizers) are expected to adhere to the following code of conduct:
• Participants must not conduct themselves in a manner that is disruptive to the enjoyment or safety of others at the event.
• Participants noticing disruptive behavior should make those responsible for the behavior aware of their actions. If a participant feels uncomfortable bringing it to the attention of the disruptive individual, the participant should notify the organizer of the event immediately.
• Participants who feel as though they are in an unsafe environment should notify the organizer of the event immediately.
• The Dungeon Master has the right to ask a disruptive player to leave the table and speak with the organizer. The organizer has the right to remove a disruptive or threatening player or Dungeon Master from the play area or premises.
• No tolerance is given for theft or aggressive behavior. Theft and aggressive behavior are grounds for immediate removal from the play area and the premises.
Examples of Violations
Organizers, DMs, and players alike should maintain an awareness of possible violations to the code of conduct.

Organizer Response
An organizer who has code of conduct violations brought to his or her attention should resolve the manner quickly and professionally, with minimal disruption to the event if possible. The responses given here are guidelines, and if the situation calls for a more or less serious response to resolve a situation, the organizer is empowered to take appropriate action. Disruptive behavior can be dealt with by the Dungeon Master upon first offense by issuing the participant a warning. Upon being issued a second warning, the Dungeon Master should notify the organizer of the event. If the Dungeon Master is engaging in disruptive behavior, a player should immediately inform the organizer.
Unsafe behavior is more serious, and the Dungeon Master or other participants have the right to notify the organizer immediately. The organizer should issue a warning for the first offense, and remove the player from the table or play area upon any subsequent offenses.
Theft and aggressive behavior are grounds for an immediate removal from the play area and/or premises and should always be brought to the organizer’s attention immediately.
These code of conduct rules will be available on display screens and meetup event signup pages as well as pinned to the Gritty Goblin Games Facebook page.

As you look into the night sky and consider your life, you know you are meant for greater things, monumental things, galaxy-spanning things. If only there were a means to get there! You've heard rumors of skyships that reach beyond the stars and they're looking for crew members. Off to the mysterious isle of Nimbral you head to see if the rumors are true.

• What we'll do
I will run the same adventure two weeks in a row and the waitlist on Group 1 will get priority for Group 2. Group 1 is called "Maiden Voyage" and Group 2 is "Second Chance."
We will run a "DDAL-lite" adventure for D&D characters with most of the Adventure League rules while adding in recent updates from Unearthed Arcana expected to be in the new D&D version: One D&D. Unearthed Arcana Playtest - Unearthed Arcana - Sources - D&D Beyond (dndbeyond.com)
I am also offering up three new character races: Astral Genasi, Metamorph (not a plasmoid) and Lumen. I will also have additional information on new subclasses for all classes. (I'll add a doc to the meetup chat for a few more details).
• What you need
You can use non-optional rules found in the Player’s Handbook and all the books listed on the D&DBeyond site but no homebrew or Rick and Morty, please (yes, Misthunter's and Eberron are fine).
