Come join us to play in a library run Dungeons & Dragons campaign that meets Bi-weekly on Saturdays. No prior knowledge of D&D is required to join, and no regular commitment is required! Registration is required due to limited spots and is limited to adults aged 18 . When you arrive, you will have the option of choosing between two campaigns each time you attend - Ravenloft: Mistwalkers or Candlekeep Chronicles. These sessions are part of ongoing campaigns and are designed for players to be able to drop in and out. Players can bring their own character, following the ruleset below, or use a premade character that we will provide. The ruleset and campaigns are described below. Ruleset: Dungeons & Dragons 2024Character Options: All official D&D 2024 Classes, Species, Feats, and BackgroundsCharacter Stat Distribution: Standard ArrayCharacter Level: 4 Ravenloft: Mistwalkers Genre/Theme(s): Gothic Horror and Dark Fantasy Rudolph Van Richten has long been a beacon of hope amongst the denizens of the Domains of Dread - prison realms within the mists containing untold horrors. Since his disappearance, fear has returned to the hearts of those who must endure the terrors of the mists. Now his closest companions, under the newly formed Van Richten Society, are reaching out to any adventurer willing to help in the crusade against what lurks in the shadows. In this gothic horror campaign you will be recruited to fight ruthless monsters, mysterious cults, evil entities and their masters. Based on the Ravenloft Campaign setting from Dungeons and Dragons, available from the B&ECPL at this link Candlekeep Chronicles Genre/Theme(s): High Fantasy Candlekeep attracts scholars like a flame attracts moths. Historians, sages, and others who crave knowledge flock to this library fortress to peruse its vast collection of books, scribbled into which are the answers to the mysteries that bedevil them. Many of these books contain their own mysteries -- each one a doorway to adventure. Dare you cross that threshold?In this high fantasy campaign, each book you uncover will serve as the key to a door, beyond which danger and glory await.Based on the Forgotten Realms Campaign setting from Dungeons and Dragons
