New GM Game Day: Dungeons Crawl Classics, Elzemon and the Blood-Drinking Box

The GMs from our How to GM Class will have their course culminate in them running July Game Day.

For New GM Game Day, each game has one seat reserved for an experienced prechosen Guild GM coach, a classmate from their course, and potentially a +1 GM guest in order for our new GMs to feel the most comfortable running for their first game. You may see players in a game's attendee list before guild-wide RSVPs open.

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
In hopes of earning a powerful wizard’s favor, a group of adventurers is tasked with stealing a mysterious artifact from a rival’s sanctum. There’s one catch—the artifact must be “fed” lawful blood to contain whatever lurks inside.

Unbeknownst to all, a mischievous quasit is pulling the strings, delighting in the chaos that follows. As the adventurers endure vomiting felines, sleepless nights, and bizarre magical constructs, they inch closer to a choice that could cost more than blood—one that forces them to confront a chilling moral dilemma.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Ready to roll some dice, fight weird monsters, and maybe die gloriously?

Dungeon Crawl Classics is a fast-paced, old-school-inspired fantasy roleplaying game published by Goodman Games. Designed to capture the weird, gritty, and gonzo energy of early tabletop RPGs, DCC blends lethal dungeon crawls, strange magic, and heroic destiny with a heavy-metal-meets-sword-and-sorcery vibe.

Join us for a one-shot adventure in Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) — a wild, rules-light fantasy RPG where anything can happen and probably will.
