About this event

Last minute Newbie Character Creation Session!! Just posted on 10/29 and open to anyone. From veteran players that are Newbies at heart all the way to those that have never played a session.

You Meet in a Tavern . We will be meeting at the McMenamins chapel Pub on Killingsworth.

There is no agenda or schedule. We manly focus on character creation and talking about game play rules. We usually have around 10 people, but don't be surprised if its as few as 5 or as many as 20. Both have happened.

• When we've had a larger group we've broken into a couple different tables where one is making characters with the DnD Beyond App and another is doing paper/pencil. We've also done one very large table of about 12 where we all made a rogue together.

• For the smaller groups we've made characters based on movie/TV characters, we've just sat around and talked, one time I had some premade characters and we did a quick 1 hour mini session.

What to bring. I'll have character sheets, dice, copies of the Player's Handbook, and access to DnD Beyond for participants. I do, however, encourage you to bring your own stuff if you are able (D&D is more fun with your own dice).

Your DM . Showing up to a Meetup event where you don't know anyone can be a lil scary. If you'd like to get to know the DM a little, I am a 48 year old data nerd that got into DnD because of a TikTok . I am from the Midwest but moved out here for the clouds and the rain (not joking). I will be at the event 30 minutes ahead of time if you'd like to stop by before everyone else shows up.

If you are a DM who is interested in helping out feel free to shoot me a message! We can always use some help running our events.

---------------

This session is $10 per person, payable at the time of the event. I accept cash, Venmo, and lunch :-). This does not include food/beverage, which I encourage you to purchase in support of our hosts.

For Sale - You can use the $10 you paid for the session to purchase

• A discount on one of the DnD Sessions I run.

• Your own set of dice

• Your own copy of the Player's Handbook

In addition to the session itself, you also get extended access to all my resources on DND Beyond for at least a month after the event. I almost always forget to give this link out, so you may need to message me after the session to remind me :-)
