October 12: Alternative RPGs!!!!

Tuesday, October 12, 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 by sending the current invite to his server. Thank you for reading, and have a great time!

September 27: Book Club for Forgotten Realms novels

Monday, September 27, 2021 at 7:30:00 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.

Once you join, the default channel you land in is Monday Night Book Club. Please also check out the Reference Material channel.

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)

September 26: Beginner Class over Discord

Sunday, September 26, 2021 at 2:00:00 PM Online event , ,

Join the Discord in order to play. Once there, go to One Shots and Banter channel. Also, check out the Reference Material channel.

Tim will now be running this event. He will work with you on the day and time that he is available. Be early to the game to get setup.

Tim is willing to run one-shot adventures or have you join in on one of his groups.

In order to find a group on your own, go to the individual facebook pages of the gaming shops around town. That is an effective way of joining a table that needs players. Look for their extra pages called LFG (Looking for group) or RPG (Role Playing Game).

Meetup is kind of a fluid hub of info, made up of players, but we are busy and our membership is ever changing. This may not be the only place that you need to go in order to connect with other players.

Downtown: Level One Gameshop and Pawn & Pint, up and coming Reroll Tavern
Lee's Summit: Pulp Fiction Comics
Independence: Game Cafe
Overland Park: Tabletop Games

I don't know if Liberty or Lawrence have a shop. If they do, I have not been there personally, and can't vouch for their D&D supplies. I feel like someone needs to get brave and open a St. Jo shop.

If you are still reading this long post, inexperienced players-
-5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons
-Meaningful story>mindless combat
-Bring a sensible amount of maturity and consideration for teammates, (show-offs are amusing once or twice, but stupidity shouldn't be encouraged in the long run)
-Have a pencil and dice.
-Buy a Player's Handbook. This is vital.

If you want to learn more about the D&D universe, there are several console and PC games available. I play Neverwinter. This will give you visuals of the classic places and races of the settings. The Forgotten Realms specifically. I recommend looking up the novels, either online (ebooks) or through the library (hardcover). This will give you more in depth knowledge on the cultures and typical personalities of the races.

Wikipedia has lists of all of the novels. Pick one trilogy from one setting and go from there.

You can use the website D&DBeyond to get started. It does the math for you and tells you some spells to choose from, but they intentionally exclude certain options in order to make you pay for the service- so not all of the races/subclasses/spells are available. Make sure to use the website for D&DBeyond. Apparently, the app is specifically for source books, if you have paid for access to any.
