What:Ā Open Dungeons and Dragons time (no knowledge of D&D necessary)
When:Ā April, before Easter
Where:Ā Marche du Lac (if Tim got the permission)



{ Note: This post can be used as a free for all event type situation and tags can be made amongst yourselves, not just for Tim and Eddie! }

Before D&D

[ Maybe you received a letter slipped under your door. Maybe your invitation was by word of mouth, or maybe you spotted a flyer on the community message board, so big and bold that it’s practically screaming at you.

Either way, the message is loud and clear: Dungeons and Dragons is happening at MarchĆ© du Lac, and regardless of whether you’ve met Eddie or Tim, you’ve been invited. After all, too many players is a better problem to have than too few.

The whole thing is kind of slimmer pickings than Eddie is used to. There’s no goblets full of sugary beverages or an assortment of chips, but with the Aurora blazing overhead, there is popcorn courtesy of Tim. Maybe you were nice and brought something to share. It would be appreciated—but food is not the focus of this meeting.

Eddie is practically guarding the door, but it isn’t to keep others out. Tim is a flight risk, and he’s not taking any chances on losing his only opportunity to actually play the game. As people enter, he bows deeply and shoves a character sheet into the hands of newbies. Those who have played in Eddie’s previous campaigns are greeted with a bright grin and also provided sheets should they wish to begin anew.

Welcome, weary travelers. Yes, I’m back. Yes, I remember…most of you.

[ Listen, some of you are just new faces to him. It can’t be helped. ]

Now, the wind has changed direction since our last meeting, and, uh…I will not be the leader of your adventure this evening. That honor goes to young Timothy over there. But if you need help with character sheets and math, I’m here to provide. House rules apply, so if you’ve ever picked up a handbook in your life, forget you ever did. And if you’d be so kind, you can do me a favor and make sure Tim doesn’t try to slip out, ā€˜kay? ā€˜Kay.


D&D

[ It’s very difficult to thread out an actual campaign—believe me, I’ve tried, but please consider this a wildcard prompt for any in-campaign shenanigans that might have occurred. Snapshots sof the game, questions, arguments, accidentally hitting your DM in the face with the dice, unprecedented bathroom breaks that draw the game to a stop, you name it. Spectators are also welcome! The prompt is you oyster, and there are no rules here. ]


Mingling

[ All in all, the campaign goes well enough. Perhaps there were a few stumbles, but Tim did not run off andEddie did not backseat DM (but god, he wanted to), and if you stick around, there’s plenty of time for mingling in the aftermath. Talk amongst yourselves

If you want Eddie, he is decidedly not mingling. Not really, at least. He seems almost renewed by the fact that he actually got to play a game and wasn’t stuck DMing, and he’s already back at the table with a handful of popcorn, scribbling ideas for his next campaign in a notebook.
