------------------------------------------------
Self-Organized One-Shots
At check-in, a host will ask you if you plan to run a one-shot.
- If you want to run a game, we'll get you set up with a sign-up sheet that has a start time or you can shop it around and start when you want. That's it! Bring what you need to run what you want.
- If you want to play in a game, find a sign-up sheet! Check back at the sign-in station once in a while to see if there are any games posted. Placement in a game is not guaranteed.
Looking For Group (LFG) Badges
There will be optional "LFG" badges to attach to your name tag at check-in! These will help match up folks with new groups, games, and friends! We will also host an organized LFG speed mixer.
Dungeon Derby (approx 30 mins)
A return of the infamous Dungeon Derby! 4-40+ jockeys barrel through a perilous subterranean fantasy race course. Most will survive, but only one will win the prize of a dragon egg (1/4 scale...)!
- You'll need a d20, a pen/pencil, and to fill out a Jockey Sheet at the check-in area, prior to race time.
Why all the rules and requirements?!?
We are actually pretty laid back people, but this is not our job. 100% of any money we make from the community goes back into Meetup fees and event supplies like name tags, pens, notecards, water, and snacks. Many of our events rely on free public spaces and those all have strict regulations and rules. We also don't usually allow underage members or RSVPs because legal issues are more complicated and scary. So thank you in advance for making our lives easier by reading and following our litany of asks. :)
