December 10: Cinemasochists: What Happened?

Tuesday, December 10, 2019 at 7:30:00 PM The Buffalo Room 817 Westport Rd, Kansas City, MO

The Cinemasochists show- three people poke fun at a terrible, cheap, confusing monstrosity of a film, done in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000.  They give some background as to how this weird thing got made in the first place, then they show the terrible movie, making jokes about the dialogue/characters/acting/etc throughout.  Some of the movies are so bad, they really make fun of themselves.

The Buffalo Room is behind the Westport Flea Market.  The show is $5 cash. Held on the second Tuesday of every month.  Westport Flea Market provides the food and drinks, but The Buffalo Room has the tech to run debit cards.

Dale always gives a rundown of how the movie got made before showing the film (how much it cost to make it, who directed it, what happened to the actors afterward, etc.).

This month's movie is- the High a Bunch. Based on a toy line from the 80s. I do not remember these toys, but I know that many children's movies from the 80s are horrifying. And the puppets alone are enough to keep you uncomfortable.

Quick Guide to Surviving Downtown- in case any of these are keeping you from attending

Parking- There is a free parking lot behind The Westport Flea Market

Cheap food- Sonic is nearby, Quiktrip is down the street, the Tuesday Night Special is 2 burgers+2 fries for $7.99.

The Homeless People- Not as dangerous as you would think. Don't be rude to them.  Just firmly and sincerely say "Sorry, I don't carry cash" if you are approached for money.  It helps to dress down, and not look like you have money to begin with. Mostly, they're just going to give you this sob story and ask you for $2.  I gave someone the $2 once and then they asked for $5. And now, "I don't carry cash."

Bathrooms- Downtown bathrooms really are awful.  All of them. Every single one. It's the strangest phenomenon.  So, use toilet paper to cover the seat. You may have to use paper towels as makeshift toilet paper.  Be ready to let the staff know if anything else is missing. Typically, there will be soap and tp present, but not always.

December 5: Crimson. 5e Homebrew Campaign

Thursday, December 5, 2019 at 6:00:00 PM Level One Gameshop 400 Grand Blvd #420, Kansas City, mo

***TABLE IS FULL, NOT ACCEPTING NEW PLAYERS AT THIS TIME***

Welcome to Crimson:

Crimson is a post-apocalyptic D&D setting I have created for 5e. It will have some similar elements to Dark Sun, but it will not specifically play off of DS and all the mechanics and intangibles of DS. There is magic in the world, but it is not fairly common outside of the 3 cities and some of the more known encampments.

The world was once lavish with color, various greens throughout the fields and rolling hills in the backdrop, a blue sky that resembled an ocean with the occasional waves of clouds. The sun, a beacon of light and source of climate stability above. The very things many take for granted were always there and never consistently thought of. Farms flourished, animals plump with meat, fruits ripe for the picking and an abundance of fresh water and fish for humans, humanoids and all animals and beasts alike to eat until their hearts and stomachs were content.

Skirmishes were common throughout the lands as many others would feel throughout history. The Dwarves and their gadgets pushing the evolution of their time in comparison to the elves who seemed more primitive and regarded nature as a sentient being...a God if you will. Humanoids were in many shapes and sizes and in most instances stayed tucked away in their own nooks of the world. Defend when threatened, attack when greedy, align when needed.

The kingdom was controlled by the Berkhardt family. King Berkhardt, a widower who never remarried after his beloved passed away while giving birth to their son Prince Berkhardt. It has been rumored that he sucked the life force out of her and the 3 mid-wives who tried to help raise him from the milk of their breasts. 4 women deceased, 1 child alive. He was always a pleasant Prince. Gave to the people selflessly, always supported his father the King and went into numerous battles for the kingdom. The rumors were just fables created to craft a lore of fear and respect as many nobles have.

What seems to be a typical world became all but that. A rumble that resembled the hooves of all horses in the nation battering the ground echoed throughout the world. The soil beneath the feet almost boiled, popping and cracking in anger. Lakes and rivers turned to a gaseous steam, creating a sauna of heat that killed livestock, humans and humanoids effortlessly with pause or reservations to any of its victims. Bursts of crimson colors illuminated the sky. Lava geysers bursting creating molten rivers of slow rolling fire and ember trails. Meteoric rocks battered the lands, crushing civilizations, turning once notable trade centers to ruins. Greens turned to reddish brown wastelands, life turned to decay, the scorch became constant. The deafening screams of anything living faded, the silence thereafter was even louder as it carved out madness in the minds of rest who existed. The surface covered in soot, bodies that were once whole were heaped into a pile of ash as anyone and everyone who could burrowed underground, grasping and clinging to life support.

Is this the age of extinction upon them?

December 1: Walking Dead at Tapcade

Sunday, December 1, 2019 at 8:00:00 PM Tapcade 1701 McGee St #200, Kansas City, MO

Tapcade has cable. I don't.

Tapcade is a barcade, in case you have never been there.

It's $5 to play all the arcade games that you can handle.

The Walking Dead has gone on winter hiatus, so this week will be all reruns.

Seeing the show is free, but obviously, to make it worth their while for hosting, get some food and drink.

Their fries are $4, and it's a big portion.

They've got all you can eat popcorn for $7.

And they have local beer specials.

I usually get the $4 whisky & Coke.

If you love zombie stuff, but don't have a whole lot of cash, come join me.

November 28: Crimson. 5e Homebrew Campaign

Thursday, November 28, 2019 at 6:00:00 PM Level One Gameshop 400 Grand Blvd #420, Kansas City, mo

***TABLE IS FULL, NOT ACCEPTING NEW PLAYERS AT THIS TIME***

Welcome to Crimson:

Crimson is a post-apocalyptic D&D setting I have created for 5e. It will have some similar elements to Dark Sun, but it will not specifically play off of DS and all the mechanics and intangibles of DS. There is magic in the world, but it is not fairly common outside of the 3 cities and some of the more known encampments.

The world was once lavish with color, various greens throughout the fields and rolling hills in the backdrop, a blue sky that resembled an ocean with the occasional waves of clouds. The sun, a beacon of light and source of climate stability above. The very things many take for granted were always there and never consistently thought of. Farms flourished, animals plump with meat, fruits ripe for the picking and an abundance of fresh water and fish for humans, humanoids and all animals and beasts alike to eat until their hearts and stomachs were content.

Skirmishes were common throughout the lands as many others would feel throughout history. The Dwarves and their gadgets pushing the evolution of their time in comparison to the elves who seemed more primitive and regarded nature as a sentient being...a God if you will. Humanoids were in many shapes and sizes and in most instances stayed tucked away in their own nooks of the world. Defend when threatened, attack when greedy, align when needed.

The kingdom was controlled by the Berkhardt family. King Berkhardt, a widower who never remarried after his beloved passed away while giving birth to their son Prince Berkhardt. It has been rumored that he sucked the life force out of her and the 3 mid-wives who tried to help raise him from the milk of their breasts. 4 women deceased, 1 child alive. He was always a pleasant Prince. Gave to the people selflessly, always supported his father the King and went into numerous battles for the kingdom. The rumors were just fables created to craft a lore of fear and respect as many nobles have.

What seems to be a typical world became all but that. A rumble that resembled the hooves of all horses in the nation battering the ground echoed throughout the world. The soil beneath the feet almost boiled, popping and cracking in anger. Lakes and rivers turned to a gaseous steam, creating a sauna of heat that killed livestock, humans and humanoids effortlessly with pause or reservations to any of its victims. Bursts of crimson colors illuminated the sky. Lava geysers bursting creating molten rivers of slow rolling fire and ember trails. Meteoric rocks battered the lands, crushing civilizations, turning once notable trade centers to ruins. Greens turned to reddish brown wastelands, life turned to decay, the scorch became constant. The deafening screams of anything living faded, the silence thereafter was even louder as it carved out madness in the minds of rest who existed. The surface covered in soot, bodies that were once whole were heaped into a pile of ash as anyone and everyone who could burrowed underground, grasping and clinging to life support.

Is this the age of extinction upon them?

Every Saturday evening Level One is hosting our free in-shop game night! Come check out our game library or bring your own games or find your new favorite!

Unlike the other hosted events by Level One, game specialist is not present. This is more of an open play than meetup aspect of it.

For our other game nights with game specialist, we have one on Monday at Alamo Drafthouse in Power&Light and Friday at Opera House in River Market. Both are free and you can enjoy food and drinks there!

Check in at the counter. The staff will introduce you to the Board Game group. Click here for event

There are many games that require a lot of space and time to play, and there is plenty of both at this event!

All game types are welcome, but there will be an emphasis on bigger and more complicated games. Feel free to bring your own that you're looking to play, or pick from a large library! New games are added weekly and we can take requests.

Don't worry about not knowing the rules or having a group to play with. Someone will be available to help teach the games they know and to help get groups together to start new games.
