Join us for a beginner-friendly, open campaign and hangout! Always wanted to try D&D but the stars never aligned? You've come to the right place! We'll meet at a public location and play a one-off adventure (no homework required, just a quick-and-easy quest explanation at the beginning of the adventure). We recommend bringing dice and your phone/some technology with internet connection capabilities!
What can you expect?
- Guided character creation to happen at the beginning of the session (if it's your first time, bring your phone or a tablet to use for a digital character sheet!)
- A consent checklist for first-timers to fill out (a safety tool that let's you indicate what types of content you are and are not comfortable with)
- A party of 2-5ish player characters going on a small mission that is part of a larger quest (if we have more than 5 players, we usually have several overflow options for our growing community!)
- A recap/report at the end
- A good time/laughter
- D&D or another beginner-friendly tabletop RPG experience
About the Venue
Awry Brewing is a small brewery on the corner of Winter and Barret. They have a cabinet of board games, a couple TVs that play nerdier stuff (at least one is usually animation if not anime, and sometimes folks play Switch games at the bar), a lot of indie art, and the intention to be a haven for nerds.
Provision! (Food & Drink)
Awry's offerings include an ever rotating list of beers, a small cocktail menu, and pub-style foods. Their "Chicken Nugz" are my favorite, and there's also an easily accessible water station.
Is there an event fee?
There is no fee to play at this event. If you can afford it, plan to be a good patron for the brewery by making some sort of purchase—whether it be a drink or just a snack. And, of course, tip your bartender!
Projected Timeline
6-6:30 | Arrival, Saying Hello, Finding the Group
6:30-7 | Flex time: if there are newcomers, this time can be used for introductions between players, explanations of rules and character sheets, and a preview of what the night will look like. If someone wants to create a new character or level up their current one, this is the time to do so. If everyone is ready to go from the start, gameplay can start right away.
7-8:50 | Gameplay
8:50-9ish | Session Wrap-up
Miscellaneous Notes
- By default, public No Dice events are 18+ events
- Meetup messenger does not send me notifications, so day-of messages or comments will likely not be seen by me until after the event (the best way to contact me is through Discord, you can follow this link and @cali in the bothering-cali channel: https://discord.gg/6Tv4qHBVvc)
