In-person Pickup D&D 5e Adventure @ 7pm MST

This event will be hosted at Game Train USA (a full bar/restaurant/board game store).

New to D&D?: Good. We all were once. Just come. No need to bring anything besides yourself. We'll set you up for the night with all you need to play and answer all your questions.

D&D Characters: We’ll be playing with level 3 characters. You are welcome to create your own level 3 character before hand (using standard published rules). Please plan to play a character of a LG, NG, or CG alignment (it just works better for a one-shot with strangers). Please also create your characters using the standard array system for attribute selection. If you're a newbie, you're welcome to just show up and we'll have some pre-generated characters you can use.
If you'd like to print your character sheet in advance, I've uploaded some to this google drive folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1FQTNcVJZiqNkZbfMqtCTL5NHgl7hxf2V?usp=sharing

Attendance: The event is free to attend (but with a small caveat below). Attendance is capped so we have the right amount of people. Please RSVP with a higher level of certainty than you would for an online event because we can't just reach out to the Discord community to back-fill no-shows.

Are you a Dungeon Master?: Players with (or without) experience are welcome to piggy-back on these events in order to leverage our reach and community of players. If you're interested in running a game during this event, either direct message DG Wiggins (the host) through the meetup app, or leave me a comment on the event saying so and I'll increase the RSVP limit and reserve us another table! The more DMs we have, the more players we can expose to the world of TTRPGs. Note: No charging for games through us. It's all voluntary.

Game Train Minimum Purchase Requirement: Game Train requires attendees to purchase any combination of food, beverage, or retail products adding up to $25 each visit or you will be charged a $7 fee for just coming to play. These purchases/fees cover "your enjoyment of their venue".

None of that money goes to the event organizers or dungeon masters who do all they do as volunteers pursuing shared experiences in their favorite hobby. Please keep in mind that our dungeon masters may also be newbies themselves. This is still a free event run by un-paid volunteers... but in a nice venue that needs to manage to pay their employees somehow.

About the Host: I’m DM David. Stylistically, I like story telling. I often give players "dares" or "challenges" for the night to encourage them to go beyond the game mechanics and improve their role playing. I like to teach and to grow community. I'm also a big supporter of 3rd party TTRPG publishers #OpenDnD. Most content I run is either homebrew, 100% improv, or something from a Kickstarter.

Also: Showing up to a Meetup event where you don't know anyone can be a lil scary. If you'd like to get to know the DM a little... Sam (the owner of this Meetup Group) and I did a little podcast episode on youtube. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_S7zsvxW8DQ

Bringing your kids: Meetup has an age policy that members must be at least 18 years of age. We enjoy seeing parents participate in D&D with their teens (either as players or DMs). Parents are welcome to do so provided;

• You work within the meetup member policies (Found Here) AND
• You and your teen BOTH actually play in the game AND
• You RSVP yourself with a +1 so we can keep a good head count for RSVPs.

Please note that this is a public pick-up game at a bar. Most folks are quite pleasant but we can't guarantee anything. Demographically, attendees tend to be working or retired adults.
