**Join me for a casual hangout and discussion about how to get started as a Dungeon Master!** Our Wednesday "D&D Night" has been very successful in bringing in new players, and in response we're creating a space to talk about how to get started as a Dungeon Master. It's not as hard as it seems—the first time I ever played D&D I was the Dungeon Master—and the most important thing is to be prepared just enough to start diving in. Most of what you need to know to be a good Dungeon Master you can only learn by being a Dungeon Master.

*Maybe you're a little more sane than me and you want play as a regular player before you run a game. If that's you and you've never played a TTRPG before, stop by our Wednesday night event for a beginner-friendly, one-off quest!*

**Quick Glossary of Terms for the Uninitiated**

* D&D = Dungeons & Dragons
* DM = Dungeon Master \(specific to D&D\) \| The player that runs the world and plays the supporting cast \(NPCs\) in a D&D game
* GM = Game Master \| The general TTRPG term for a Dungeon Master \(not specific to D&D\) \| *All DMs are GMs but not all GMs are DMs...*
* TTRPG = Tabletop Roleplaying Game \| D&D is the most famous\, but there are many others \| *D&D is to TTRPG like Kleenex is to Tissue...*
* NPC = Non\-Player Character \| A character played by the GM
* PC = Player Character \| A character played by a player that isn't the GM

See, we're learning already...

**What can you expect?**

* A casual, personable conversation about your experience with TTRPGs, your interest in running a game, and the steps needed for you to feel comfortable [enough] to step out on your own.
* There may also be free pizza, depending on the night... no promises!

**About the Venue**
Awry Brewing is a small brewery on the corner of Winter and Barret. They have a cabinet of board games, a couple TVs that play nerdier stuff (at least one is usually animation if not anime, and sometimes folks play Switch games at the bar), a lot of indie art, and the intention to be a haven for nerds.

**Provision! (Food & Drink)**
Awry's offerings include an ever rotating list of beers, a small cocktail menu, and some non-alcoholic options as well as an easily accessible water station. Their kitchen is closed on Tuesdays, so you are welcome to bring food in if you didn't have a chance to eat beforehand.

**Is there an event fee?**
There is no fee for this event.

**Miscellaneous Notes**

* By default, public No Dice events are 18+ events, but this event is currently open to minors with an 18+ guardian present
* Meetup messenger does not send me notifications, so day-of messages or comments will likely not be seen by me until after the event (the best way to contact me is through Discord, you can follow this link and @cali in the bothering-cali channel: https://discord.gg/6Tv4qHBVvc)
