About this Event: Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the world of Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPGs), this event offers something for everyone. Come solo or with friends and immerse yourself in a game of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D).

Our events are a great way to connect with members of local communities and are also perfect for folks arriving in Toronto looking to make new friends.

What is Dungeons & Dragons?: D&D is a Role Playing Game (RPG) where players work together to create a story. Each person acts as a character in the story while the Dungeon Master (DM) acts as the referee and guide. Together, players will solve dilemmas, explore dungeons, find treasure, and perhaps encounter a dragon!

What is a One-Shot?: It is a complete story in one session of gameplay.

General Admission Tickets: Tickets are priced and sold per person with Eventbrite fees and tax included.

• Tickets to this event include a private room for you and your fellow adventurers, a specialty-themed food & drinks menu, one of our expert Dungeon Masters to run a full how-to-play (if any new players are in attendance) and an immersive playthrough of a one-shot that includes digital maps, and accompanying music.
• Tickets also include access to the Snakes & Lattes Midtown board game library, if you would like to sit and play before the adventure begins.
• Our Patreon Membership includes event discounts for our paid subscribers. Each Patreon Member ticket must have a corresponding membership subscription. Proof of subscription will be required at the door.

Dungeon Master (DM): Jeremy from Changeling Gaming
Gameplay System: Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition
Player Experience: Any! - Little to no experience with the game, or looking to build confidence, or just have fun!
Character Level: Characters will be pre-set for this adventure by the DM to help support new players learning. Character sheets will be provided and reviewed at the top of the game.

Equipment:

• We will provide paper, pencils, and of course, dice for you to borrow. We also use Chaotic Studios dice kits to help support new players in getting familiar with the different-sized dice. After the game, players will have the option to purchase their dice kit.

About this Event: Whether you're a seasoned gamer or new to the world of social deception games, this event offers something for everyone. Come solo or with friends and immerse yourself in a game of Blood on the Clocktower. Our events are a great way to connect with members of local communities and are perfect for folks arriving in Toronto looking to make new friends.

General Admission Tickets: Tickets for this event include access to a privately booked themed room, a tutorial of the game Blood on the Clocktower if new players are in attendance, and a full playthrough of the game. Tickets are priced and sold per person with Eventbrite fees and tax included.

For this event, we will be playing the Trouble Brewing Script (and maybe a custom Changeling script if we have time).

What is Blood on the Clocktower? Blood on the Clocktower is an advanced version of the game Werewolf, and crucially the dead still have an important role to play in the game. The game is run by a Storyteller who has carefully crafted an experience and facilitates the game for up to 20 players. It is part deduction and part deception. Set in the little village of Ravenswood Bluff, players in the game assume different roles, each with unique abilities to hunt down the evil or stay hidden as one.

For new players, check out this video created by our head game instructor Jeremy, to learn the basics of the game ahead of the event. There will also be time at the top of the game to review rules and ask questions.
