From Matt Colville: Pitching Your Game: Running the Game: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtH1SP1grxo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtH1SP1grxo) We'll be pretty informal and allow questions after each pitch. No need to over-prepare, but do think of how best to sell players on your campaign! Also, while this is a D&D group, feel free to pitch a different game system if you'd like. **For Player Consideration:** Before you arrive, consider your preferences in terms of play schedules, location, campaign style, etc. Other than that, just bring your curiosity and sense of adventure!

Five directors present five interwoven stories mostly set in a nondescript bar. The characters are anything but nondescript, with their diverse interests and intentions colliding in strange ways. What they drink, why they drink, and how they drink are all part of the stories, with fate, coincidence, and even a touch of the supernatural weaving their way into the mix. ■ Title — *Life on the Rocks* ■ Directors — Joanna Bowzer, Tim Gagliardo ■ Cast — Zach Alden, Bonnie Bedelia, Jasmine Hester ■ Unrated, suitable for teens and adults ■ ©2021 \| 1h 30m \| Drama ■ Watch it free with ads on Fandango: https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Life-on-the-Rocks/1747115 ■ Watch it free with ads on Fawesome: https://fawesome.tv/movies/10678832/life-on-the-rocks ■ Watch it free with ads on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/707549/life-on-the-rocks ■ Available free without ads to Hoopla subscribers: https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/18367241 ■ Available free without ads to Amazon Prime members: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.2039b5da-fb1c-4c8e-b29b-1f498db26285 ■ As with most of our online features, you can watch this one whenever you like.
