May 7: Board Game Night @ Lenexa Public Market

Tuesday, May 7, 2019 at 5:00:00 PM Lenexa Public Market 8750 Penrose Ln, Lenexa, ks

Join us for our 1st Board Game Night at Lenexa Public Market. This free event is all about introducing people to our favorite party and light games and is geared towards adults looking to share laughs with good company, even if they have no experience with board games.

A library of roughly 30 games will be available to attendees including Monikers, Snake Oil, Codenames, King of Tokyo, Telestrations, and Dixit. All of which have simple rules and can be played in under 45 minutes.

When you arrive, look for our game master, Topher. He will introduce you to other attendees and get you into a game.

The Lenexa Public Market is a gorgeous facility populated with local food vendors and merchants. If you've never been, there is no better excuse to visit this hidden gem. Parking is free and plentiful. For more details about the location go to:

May 4: 5th Edition D&D Campaign at Pawns and Pints !

Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 11:00:00 AM Pawns and Pints (new location) 613 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO

PLEASE NOTE THE NEW LOCATION ! Pawns & Pints has now moved to 613 Walnut Street ! Pawn & Pint is a bar, so legally requires customers to show ID to prove they're over 21 or are accompanied by a Parent/Guardian.

Jon Steel is taking a break from DM'ing currently ! We're now adventuring in DM Aarons' 5e interpretation of the classic "Tegel Manor". All players are welcome - HOWEVER, new players will start at Level 1. Please also note that Tegel Manor is a "dark subject" adventure - and may not be suitable for children.

Join us in our weekly 5th Edition D&D Campaign !

What is a "game store" campaign you may ask ? This is a less serious option than a "long term" campaign - players are expected to come and go between weeks as needed - hence there is a large number of "pre-generated" characters available. If you are regularly playing (and have shown at least a commitment to show regularly) - then you may create your own character using our house-rules.

We run every week (unless specifically stated) and start from 11am and play until around 4.30pm. We usually break for 30 minute for lunch.

There are multiple tables available - currently we have approximately 4 tables in play, and all have open-play availability.

If you are new to the hobby - this is an ideal game for you. We are very welcoming and have different players of all types of experience. We rarely, if ever, turn players away - HOWEVER, you DO need to be at the location at least 30 minutes prior to start - as we need to find you a character and help you understand the house rules ! I'm usually at our location around 10am or so, and this is usually the ONLY reason players might not be able to play !!

We encourage support of our hosting game-store by offering one free re-roll if you spend at least $5 on the day at the game store. Snacks/drinks are included in that. If you've never played 5th Edition - but are used to 1st/2nd/3rd Edition - its exactly like 1st edition ! Very simple character sheets - the rules are incredibly easy to pick up ! Its really, really easy for new players to also pick up in one session - this is definitely the game for everyone !

I do reserve the right to "cap" the table size if we get too large. We have had table-sizes of up to 10-12 players, but any larger and we become too rowdy !

$5 pay-to-play fee is waived for Pawns & Pints members as usual

May 4: 5th Edition D&D Campaign

Saturday, May 4, 2019 at 11:00:00 AM Pawn & Pint 613 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO

Cross-posting from another group for Jon Steel. =) Original event is here:
https://www.meetup.com/dnd-1121/events/xlcgmpyxpbgc/

Join us in a regular 5th Edition D&D Campaign! After much thought, I decided not to follow the Adventurers League adventures for my campaign - instead, I have converted my original 1st Edition campaign to 5th Edition, and will be running this as a "game store" campaign.

What is a "game store" campaign you may ask ? This will be less serious than a "long term" campaign - players are expected to come and go between weeks as needed. Players own their characters - but the characters will be pre-generated prior to the adventure. Hopefully this all equates to "more fun" !

This session will be weekly (unless specifically stated) - and will last 5 hours each week (finishing at 4pm). Please ensure that you support our hosting game-store by purchasing snacks/drinks/game materials if possible at the game store - the space is free after all !

If you've never played 5th Edition - but are used to 1st/2nd/3rd Edition - its exactly like 1st edition ! Very simple character sheets - the rules are incredibly easy to pick up ! Its really, really easy for new players to also pick up in one session - this is definitely the game for everyone !

I'm going to reserve the right to "cap" the table size if we get too large. I can handle up to 10-12 players, but any larger and we become too rowdy ! More details will be forthcoming on table size.
