The Griffons Den is opening up a new professionally run 5e D&D adult campaign on Friday afternoons from Noon - 3:00 PM, specifically for shift-workers or others who can not attend the usual weekend or evening time-slots.
This ongoing, professionally run campaign will be set in the world of Krynn near the start of the Dragon War and will start at level 1, making it ideal for D&D beginners or 5e veterans alike. We will work our way through the Dragonlance modules from 1st edition, but converted to 5e rules.
This will be hosted at the Griffons Den, our private D&D club house located at Hillside & Quadra area. Griffons Den campaigns are consistent, reliable and professionally overseen by a DM with 40 years experience. We hew closely to the 5e RAW (Rules As Written) and host a shared campaign where all participants in all our campaigns can trade and interact with each-other through bastions and other mechanisms. Players may choose to use 2014 or 2024 rules, and may rebuild their characters whenever they like so you never have to fret or agonize about build decisions, or get stuck playing a character you regret.
Membership for the Griffons Den requires commitment to weekly sessions, with membership fees based on $25/sessions pre-paid monthly. The Den is a private space with a mini-fridge, microwave and kettle where members are welcome to bring outside food and drink, including alcohol if its an adult game.
We are taking a waiting list and will notify you when we have enough players to start, so reserve your seat now. New players should follow the directions on the Beginners page.
