July 7: Crafting resources for beginners

Wednesday, July 7, 2021 at 7:00:00 PM Online event , ,

Disclaimer: In order to join us, you have to join Discord. It is a website for text and voice chats, that works on PC and mobile devices. It will try and make you use the app (which is easier to navigate). It is completely free to use and you can customize notifications so that it doesn't run through your data plan 24/7. Don't be afraid, despite its name Discord is a pleasant tool to have.

If you're new to d&d or RPGs or maybe even geekery (like I am), you may want some assistance in the crafting department.

It's easy to Google videos on ideas, and then never actually sit down to do any of it.

I took months to sit down and start making a d20 out of chain mail. Like, a one day project.

So what if we start a group for getting excited about completing our projects? We can talk painting, or building terrain, or shares tips on where to find ideas. I myself wanna start sculpting a cityscape from Styrofoam. It already resembles a map, so I need to add color and textures to make it usable.

DM/GMs welcome, players welcome, daydreamers welcome. It may take some time to accumulate some regulars, so feel free to cancel last minute or not show up. (We're all living through a pandemic, and I can just go play Neverwinter on Xbox. It's cool.)

So far, we have long time DM/player Tim. He paints minis. And 3D prints some.

Tuesday, July 6, 2021 at 7:00:00 PM Online event , ,

My friend John gets tired of d&d, so I would like to help him introduce you to ALL THE OTHER RPGS. Seriously. There's a whole world out there. World Wide Wrestling. Illimat (by The Decemberists) Various map building games, such as Companion's Tale. Ryuutama. Blades in the Dark. Band of Blades. Dungeon World. Monster of the Week. Dread. Mouse Guard. Stuff using the Fate system. Or using the Burning Wheel system. Or maybe just a basic d20 system. Go check out Powered by the Apocalypse or DriveThruRPG. John will probably run these on the weekends, but I wanted to post it on a less busy week day. When people are more likely to read this. He is willing to run something you're interested in, or play in your game too. His discord invite expires, but mine doesn't. Once you join, I will redirect you to his server. Thank you for reading, and have a great time!

Have any of you read the D&D novels? Would you like to?

I have read only Forgotten Realms books so far, but I have really enjoyed finding out so much background and detail from the cities of Faerun. Only, I dont have anyone to talk about all of this with, and I would like to build a group- if anyone is interested.

Here's the Wikipedia list of settings and then their individual title catalogs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons_(novels)
