Links to all of our Social Media, including Discord, Facebook, Instagram & more!
The Space Coast Adventurer's Guild is an inclusive community organization that seeks to unite people along the Space Coast of Florida to play, learn and find groups for D&D and all TTTPGs!
The Guild also aims to build up and connect our geek community here in Brevard. Whether it's through games, community gatherings, giving back to our community or just by making some new friends!
Rules:
1.) Don't be a jerk.
- Don’t be a jerk, call people names, bully, use slurs (racial, ethnic, sexual, gender identity, sexual orientation, people with physical or mental disabilities, neurodivergent or any other type). We do not tolerate intolerance here.
2.) Report to us- don't fight.
- PLEASE report content which violates our rules, and don't fight with jerks! Someone being a jerk first is not a free pass. You can PM us if needed.
3.) Promotion of Inclusivity in TTPRGs.
- You are welcome here regardless of race, color, religion, sex, gender, orientation, disability, identity, age, or anything else. Dismissal of the need for inclusivity is not appropriate conduct.
4.) Zero Tolerance Topics
- Discrimination or slurs, including calling trans folks "traps", rape jokes, doxxing or digging into people's profiles, blocking mods or admins. Violators will be banned without question.
5.) IRL religion & politics have no place here.
6.) Posts
- Make sure your events and posts are appropriate and relevant! You may post looking for group posts at any time, or go to our other social media sites (Discord, the FB group) to cross-post.
Feel free to suggest community gathering ideas, or fill out our group feedback survey to suggest any systems you would like to see as events.

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
The Wasteland is a wild place. Shape it as you and your friends go from Vault Dwellers to heroes of the land, or something like that, when the Overseer of your Vault goes missing!
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
“In 2077, the storm of nuclear war reduced most of the planet to cinders. From the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization will struggle to arise. A civilization you will shape.
How will you re-shape the world? Will you join with a plucky band of survivors to fight off all-comers and carve out your own settlement? Will you team up with pre-existing factions like the Brotherhood of Steel or Super Mutants to enforce your own ideals on the Wasteland? Ghoul or robot, paladin or raider, it’s your choice - and the consequences are yours. Welcome to the Wasteland. Welcome to the world of Fallout.
This 438-page hardbound rulebook features a gorgeous cover design evoking the iconic Vault-Tec jumpsuit. Inside, you will find rules and lore for roleplaying in the Fallout world, as well as concept art from the Fallout videogames. Utilizing Modiphius’ celebrated 2d20 cinematic role-playing system, the Fallout RPG will take players on an exciting journey into the post-apocalypse!
Create your own survivors, super mutants, ghouls, and even Mister Handy robots. Immerse yourselves in the iconic post-nuclear apocalyptic world of Fallout, while gamemasters guide their group through unique stories and encounters. The 2d20 edition of Fallout is as close to the bottlecap bartering, wasteland wandering, Brotherhood battling excitement as you can get.”

West Marches: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition 2024, Chult Exploration Society
Groundswell Startups, 2412 Irwin St, Melbourne, FL, USPLAYER INFORMATION
Experience required: None
Age: 14+
Number of seats available: 6
Character Sheets: Pregenerated character sheets will be provided.
Link to the System!
This is a West Marches game:
West March campaigns are “drop in” campaigns. Every session is a one shot that is very loosely connecting to one another (like being members of a monster hunter’s guild and sent out to slay X monster for one session and Y monster on another session). It’s meant for people who can play D&D every so often rather than guarantee to be able to stick to a set schedule. People can come and go as needed, but you will need to RSVP for any/all games you wish to play in separately.
**This is the perfect game for people unable to commit to a regular scheduled game, perfect for first time players, and perfect for people looking for a random session. If a character dies, the replacement character will be created at level 1 (there is an exception). Not all areas will be balanced, so be prepared for PC deaths! I also ask that min-maxing, joke and one-note characters be reserved for home games, as this will be a large community experience, and the more serious the players treat it, the more enjoyable it will be for everyone!**
2 seats in every guild one-shot are reserved for the monthly supporter lottery. You may see players in a game's attendee list before guild-wide RSVPs open.

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Chult, a perilous jungle peninsula known for dinosaurs, monstrous beasts, and ancient ruins, is not a typical tourist destination but a place of legendary wealth and adventure for the brave. Visitors primarily arrive at Port Nyanzaru to hire guides and purchase supplies for expeditions into the dense, humid jungle, seeking legendary riches while facing constant threats of disease, exotic wildlife, and treacherous terrain. While the primary allure is adventuring and treasure hunting, the region also draws those interested in ancient lore, wild nature, and the rich history of this remote corner of Faerûn. The SCAG Chult Exploration Society is always looking for brave souls to step up and run missions for the Guild, do you dare step up and volunteer?

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
The most popular television program in the world, The Jolly Good Baking Show, has come to Brindlewood Bay to find the town’s very best baker. A number of qualifying rounds have been held, and our Murder Mavens are among the bakers to make it through to the final, televised portion of the show, where they will meet the charming presenters and have their confec tions judged by the notoriously strict Paul and Jane. However, things take a darker sugary turn when one of the judges turns up dead...
ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Brindlewood Bay is a tabletop roleplaying game that combines Murder, She Wrote with H.P. Lovecraft. In it, you play a group of elderly women, members of the local Murder Mavens Mystery Book Club, who help the authorities solve murder cases in a picturesque New England Town. Over the course of their investigations, they become aware of a dark occult conspiracy that connects the cases, and will eventually have to face that conspiracy in order to save their community.
