June 2: Crafting resources for beginners- Paused while I work 3 jobs

Wednesday, June 2, 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.

May 25: Alternative RPGs!!!!

Tuesday, May 25, 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!

May 27: Games At Table Top

Thursday, May 27, 2021 at 6:00:00 PM TableTop Game And Hobby 9156 Metcalf Ave, Overland Park, KS

The TableTop game room is open again for a limited number of people, but it is much larger than it used to be. The Cafe is also up and running to provide food and drink. But you cannot bring outside food or drink except water into the store. Look for me if you want to play a specific game or a group. I will be there every Thursday around 5:30.

May 24: Armed with Knowledge and a vibrant Curiosity!- Paused for my 3 jobs

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 start building a group- if anyone is interested. I created a discord server to run this.

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

So far, my regular attendee is Jason. He is a human wealth of knowledge. But we have also met Leon, Iri, Darkstory, and Dominic. We end up talking about D&D just as easily as talking about the books. (In case the novel reading sounds kind of intimidating and you decide not to RSVP because you think we stay strictly on the topic of books. We don't. We ramble around.)
