Online Workshop: D&D 5th Edition 101
Online workshop event for new and experienced players.
**This is not a gaming event.**
Ever wanted to play D&D but not sure how to get started? The idea of joining a D&D game with no experience can be very daunting, especially when you have NO idea about even the basics.
Do you have questions about D&D? Questions about character creation? Campaigns? How to play? Which dice to use? Maybe you've watch a live play cast or listened to a podcast and want to learn more about D&D.
This workshop is a short introduction to Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. We'll go over some of the basic concepts of the game, game play, rules and variations, character creation, and MOSTLY answers your questions.
This workshop is open to both new players and experienced players who what to share their knowledge. I'm more famliar with D&D 2014 (Legacy)

They Met at a Tavern: Shadowdark Open Table, Burke Gilman Brewing
Burke Gilman Brewing, 3626 NE 45th St, Seattle, WA, USLet's descend into the Dark and see what awaits...
(squeezing in another session before taking time off at the end of the month)
Last session, the party was assaulted an undead road crew and discovered a new faction in the world.
I welcome anyone who want to play, newcomer or repeat offender... The open table doesn't require much lore, just a sense of adventure!
Players can bring a 3rd-level character using the SRD resource (https://shadowdarklings.net/), or grab a pre-gen off the stack.
I'm running this in coordination with Burke Gilman's Sunday game night. If slots are full, I'll try to keep a couple open seats available for walk-ins.
All are welcome.
The brewery has a good beer selection and NA options. El Camion food truck next door as well as burgers and other take out options in the neighborhood.

[In Person] Tuesday Night RPG: Blades in the Dark
Outer Planet Craft Brewing, 1812 12th Ave, Seattle, WA, USBlades in the Dark!
Blades in the Dark is a tabletop role-playing game about a crew of daring scoundrels seeking their fortunes on the haunted streets of an industrial-fantasy city. There are heists, chases, occult mysteries, dangerous bargains, bloody skirmishes, and, above all, riches to be had — if you’re bold enough to seize them.
You and your fledgling crew must thrive amidst the threats of rival gangs, powerful noble families, vengeful ghosts, the Bluecoats of the city watch, and the siren song of your scoundrel’s own vices. Will you rise to power in the criminal underworld? What are you willing to do to get to the top?Game Rules:

D&D 5e Open game for Beginners at Urban Family Brewing 2026
Urban Family Brewing, 1103 NW 52nd St, Seattle, WA, USThis is our weekly drop-in/out game for new players. Our focus is teaching D&D 5th Edition to new players or players returning to learn 5th Edition. We'll also help players learn to DM if they want to try their hand at it. (I'm mostly familiar with the legacy 2014 rules.)
We will be managing the RSVP/Wait List in favor of new players over players who have been with us for over 1 year AND/OR players attending other weekly D&D 5e public play games. If you're a visitor to our Emerald City, let us know, you may get a jump on the Wait List! Ideally, in that year, you'll learn the game basics, make some friends, and find a home group.
I do not use the MeetUp paid Priority system, you CAN RSVP without paying for a Meetup membership.
Be sure you have your Profile set to alert you when you're confirmed for an event, when you receive messages from the Event Hosts, and comments in the event.
To avoid NO SHOWS, failure to respond to my direct message to confirm your status will result in being removed from the event.
RSVP for each event will open two weeks before the event date.
Please keep your RSVP up to date. If you're on the Wait List and make other plans, be sure to change your RSVP. If you No Show us, you will be removed from future events in this series.
Be aware that Meetup sometimes has a delay on their notifications, so BE SURE to check your Wait List status on the app or website.
How to find us:
Check with the Barkeep or look for the or look for the guy in the D&D shirt.Let me know if you're a DM interested in running a table or learning to DM!!
We currently have one table for Levels 1-4. Games may be with mixed leveled characters, so a first-time player with a level 1 character may sit next to a level 3 character. Play accordingly; hang back if you're weaker, protect your comrades if you're stronger. Decide if your party needs to fight, run, bully, bribe, or beg your way through the game.
We are looking for Heroic Adventurers, so leave your evil, chaotic, solo, or morally questionable characters for your home game.
I will have some paper premade characters (Legacy 2014) available.
Or you can use some D&D Premade characters on D&D Beyond or build a Level 1 character on the D&D Beyond Character Builder. Use the standard set numbers (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8). Take max HP when creating and leveling up. You may use only the Core rules, Expanded Rules or the 2014 Core rules. No Legacy, Non-core rules, or Partnered Content. Regardless of class, you should equip your character with a dagger, melee weapon, and ranged weapon.
Fighters and Rogues are easier for new players to use to learn game basics. If you're playing a Spellcaster, you should bring your spell details (index cards, photocopies, or digital). Cell phones and tablets are okay to bring, but leave your laptops at home due to space limitations.
We start at 6:30. Arrive early to get settled, buy your drinks/food, pick a pre-made character, learn some game basics, etc.
Urban Family Brewing is a 21+ venue (no pets). Our events are FREE, but we ask that you please support our Host Urban Family Brewing. We're here at their generosity, so be sure to buy some beer, snacks, or drinks to support our hosts and make it worth their time. No outside drinks, but outside food is okay. Ample street parking can be found in the area. UFB does not serve food, but there are often food trucks nearby. We often play on the second floor and there is no elevator. Let me know if you have mobility issues.
Walk Ins: We often have late cancellations and No Shows. If you want to stop by in person and take a chance on getting a Walk In spot, you're welcome to stop by. I'll seat any Walk Ins if there are any spots available at 6:30.
Our tables are positive, friendly, and welcoming spaces for all adventurers, regardless of class, race, gender, age, or sexual identity. Any negativity fueled by real-world ignorance, hate, or fear will be met with swift action and possible permanent teleportation to the plane of eternal banishment.
We are NOT an official Adv League event, we don't issue or track XP, items, rewards, etc.
Any other questions? Just ask!
