D&D at The Independent: Adventure in Midtowns and Highlands!

Details

Hail and well met, adventurers - the call has gone out, and in-person events will commence once more!

Please note that Joystick is a 21+ venue after 8:00 PM. The Independent is always 21+.

Both new and inexperienced players are welcome! We'll teach you the rules, and give a free pre-generated character and set of dice to all first-time players.

DMs of all skill levels, using any system or setting, are always welcome.
Also, we are offering a DM Token system! Players request a DM Token upon purchase, which they can give to DMs to turn into gift cards! Please check in with us about the current ratios being offered. Note that these tokens will not be usable at other event locations.

How It Works:

  • We use a digital signup where GMs (including Flex!) post their pre-pitch specs (including min-max table size), and players can sign up--either for specific games, or in general, including Waitlisting--to help with event/table management. An Admin or an Admin helper can help with signups on-site for in-person/walk-in signups.
  • DM Happy Hour starts at 6:00 PM - meet your fellows, discuss your plans, and prepare devious plots against your unsuspecting players.
  • At 7:00 PM, the official meetup starts! By 7:15pm, DMs gather their players and the games begin. Games typically run from 7:30 PM to 10:00/11:00 PM.

What You Need to Bring:
You don't need to bring anything to play--we provide dice, character sheets, and helpful advice for all new players!

  • Players, if you want to bring a homemade character sheet, the assumptions for D&D 5e are 3rd level, Standard Array or Point Buy, and average HP. Any WotC content, but no UA or Homebrew. If you see a GM prepitch a different RPG in our Discord, feel free to ask them if you can bring a homemade character if they did not specify it.
  • GMs, if you are interested in running a game, we provide players with dice, pencils, and D&D 5e pregens as specified above. You will need to bring whatever you usually use to run a session--e.g., books, maps, minis, etc. If you're running a system other than 5e, you'll need to provide character sheets (and rules instructions) for your players. Feel free to prepitch or otherwise gauge interest in our Discord's event channels.

See you soon, adventurers!
