Tabletop D&D Guild

The Tabletop Guild is a mysterious group of adventuring mercenaries that are hired for everything from investigating monster sightings and escorting nobility, to "retrieving" property, and assisting towns with various projects. Little is known of their origin or leadership structure and some say their adventures even cross through space and time. Some work in groups while others can be found wandering the countryside, always ready to join other guild members in their work and quests. 

How will it work...

- Players will start with a lvl1 or lvl5 character (Folks will likely have one of each, to make sure they can play in various games. (We will have some character sheets on hand if folks need a player). 

- Any session should be a one-shot or "book ended" in a way where characters can drop in and out from session to session. This does not mean that sessions have to be "railroaded," and a DM is more than welcome to have a session that starts in town, unplanned with guild members looking for work. :) 

- Players will level up after each game. 

- GMs should come with either a low lvl (1-4) or higher level (5+) game. One shots, home brew, official league material; all is welcome! 

- Players will collect gold, special items, etc from session to session but GMs will decide what players can use during their game. 

- There will be an official log binder for guild groups to log their adventures (this will mostly be used for fun, and for DMs to get a quick idea of what could be fun for upcoming sessions).

Sunday Meetups

Mixers are great. Clinic, and RPG Night are wonderful. But we wanted to encourage a way for folks to play games with less structure. Maybe 3 people want to play a 2 hour game of Scythe while others hang out playing Wavelength and other party games. That's the goal! Feel free to bring your own games, or grab ours. We'll still have nametags, and some facilitation to help it get rolling! I might try to get folks to play... more Apiary. :) 

No signup needed, but it might help?!

February Mixer

Come in solo or bring a couple friends, slap on a name tag, and put your name down for some of our new “light” or “party” style games. Maybe split off and dive into a deeper game.

We’ll be busting out some of our most recent favorite games (yeah, they change all the time).

Meet some cool people, have a drink, and a good time!

Games start around 6:30. But come in a little to sign up for the game you want.
We usually do 2 Rounds of organized games and the 3rd Round is community driven where people can teach any game they want to others!

Remember, mixers are always free for members, but everyone is welcome!

ALSO… let us know if there is a game you really want to have us play. Or even better, let us know if there’s a game you want to lead that you think would be a good fit at the mixer!
You don’t have to sign up for the mixer, we’re just trying something new this month to see if it helps us plan the event. So click HERE if you wanna sign up or discuss games you want to see!

Game of Thrones: Board Game Event

Have you had difficulty rounding up 6 friends for a 5 hour war game? Well this could fix that! It’s more of a commitment than normal, but it’s a great game!

** We will give a game run through and be available for questions, but it is strongly recommended that you watch the tutorial before coming to the game. **

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0XRVTacNxI&t=664s

King Robert Baratheon is dead, and the lands of Westeros brace for battle.

In the second edition of A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, three to six players take on the roles of the great Houses of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros, as they vie for control of the Iron Throne through the use of diplomacy and warfare. Based on the best-selling A Song of Ice and Fire series of fantasy novels by George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones is an epic board game in which it will take more than military might to win. Will you take power through force, use honeyed words to coerce your way onto the throne, or rally the townsfolk to your side? Through strategic planning, masterful diplomacy, and clever card play, spread your influence over Westeros!
