Paid By Patreon One-Shot: Dungeons & Dragons 5e 2014, Once Upon a Winter's Eve

Each month on the first weekend, the Space Coast Adventurers Guild will dedicate one day to being out in the Brevard community running games, and the other to celebrating our SCAG family at Groundswell.

✨ Community Day: We’ll connect with local spaces and share our love of gaming!
✨ Guild Day: Expect open board gaming, free one-shots for Patreon supporters, potluck snacks, social deduction games, and Game Masters chatting about different systems.

Keep an eye on Meetup for times, signups, and more details!

PAID BY PATREON GAMES:

Paid By Patreon Games!
As part of our new Community First Initiative, every SCAG Community Day will feature a special “Paid By Patreon” one-shot — free to play, thanks entirely to the generosity of our amazing Patreon supporters!

These free games exist because of them — our patrons make it possible for fellow adventurers in the Guild to enjoy a one-shot at no cost. For now, we’re able to offer one free one-shot each month, but as our Patreon grows, we hope to expand and bring even more free community games to life!

Participation is first come, first served, just like any other Guild-run game: but this one’s a gift from our patrons to you.

A huge thank-you to our Patreon supporters for helping make adventure accessible to everyone!

ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
It's a chilly Winter's Crest in the cozy village of Pinedale as loved ones gather tight, share cocoa, and tell stories of ages past. Like any other prosperous small town, Pinedale is a tight-knit community built on honesty and empathy. Reports of an incoming blizzard have put a stop to any possible travel on the nearby roads, but Pinedale's residents don't mind. That just means more time spent together by the fire.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Dungeons & Dragons is the world’s most popular tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG). It is a cooperative, storytelling game where you and other players take on the roles of different characters within a story. As you play, your character will make friends and enemies, fight monsters, discover loot, and complete quests.

But while the goal of many games is to score the most points or win, the ultimate goal of D&D is to tell a story. There are dice and Basic Rules involved, and often maps and miniatures or tokens, but the tools that come into play most often are the imaginations of the players.
