Register now to join in on the adventure! For ages 18 and up This group uses a West Marches style of campaign where various groups of player characters adventure in the same world. This enables a more fluid campaign where if someone isn’t interested in the current adventure or can’t make it to the game, they can drop back into the game in a future session. It also allows multiple groups to play without interfering with each other but still progressing the story. This is ideal for a public game because it allows players to drop in and out of the story as needed and each session can consist of a different set of players, allowing everyone a chance to play! Meets on the first Thursday of every month (see dates) Space is limited. Please register each attendee separately. The DM for this session is: Elliot. Note: Always pre-register for any session they plan to attend as there are limited spots. Attending one session will not guarantee your spot for the following session. If you have to cancel, please let us know so we can open up your spot to other players. Questions? Email [email protected]
