Saturday Game Night

I'm at Grismer Coves, apartment A11 - buzz 11 at the gate. First building, upstairs. There will be drinks in the fridge and a candy bowl on the table. If you'd like to bring something, great, but don't feel obligated. Vaccinated only. No mask required. FYI - I have a cat. The first 9 spots are open to anyone. After that, I will move some people from the waitlist to 'Going', but I give priority to folks who are regulars. BTW - I know parking can be a pain. Please follow these suggestions: 1. Look on Grismer. You might get lucky. 2. Drive down to the corner of Grismer and San Fernando. Turn right. 3. Park. There are always about 10 spaces there and it's only a block away. People don't look there because it feels like you're getting on the freeway.

Old School Dungeons & Dragons (no experience needed)

Join us for an open-table game of old school Dungeons & Dragons! No experience is needed, and everything will be provided. Show up, grab a pre-generated character (or roll one fast), and we’ll dive into a dangerous, fantasy sandbox full of wondrous treasure, eldritch monsters, weird magic, and impactful decisions. Rules are quick, I’ll teach as we play, and each session is a complete expedition you can try to survive to brag about later. Play when you're available, no commitment required to future sessions. I look forward to gaming with you! \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- Although you do not need to know the rules at all, there is a free, permissive licensed version of the rules we will be using here: https://drivethrurpg.com/product/550861/OSRIC-30-Player-Guide. Again, this is just for info, I will teach the game as we play. I also put together a wiki for the campaign (https://www.legendkeeper.com/app/cmlw2185w1mm40ton3ikw4efa). You don't need to know anything about it or to read through it, it exists to supplement information for folks who want it, and mostly for me to keep NPCs straight. There are session recaps there, so that may be useful for folks. If you want to get a contributor role so you can add things to the Player's Section, just message me with your email address.
