D&D Groups San Francisco

Bay Area D&D 5e Adventure League group

Adventure League level: 1-4 (log sheet needed if above 1st level) New players: welcome (no experience necessary) This is a ongoing D&D 5 Adventure League group. We have games running every other Saturday from 4:00pm-10pm at private residences in Berkeley. Each of our GMs is running a different season (storyline) and runs a game every two weeks on average. Players are invited to play in a game every two weeks (often staying in the same storyline, but may play in multiple storylines if desired). We have events that tie the seasons together in various ways. The group has been running for several years now, with players of all experience levels. Adventure League is set in the world of Forgotten Realms. There is often room at games and you are welcome to contact the coordinator (Josiah) to be invited to future games. No experience is necessary (you're welcome to bring a existing Adventure League character from previous play as long as you have a full Adventure Log to share). Campaign Website: Berkeley Adventure League (https://sites.google.com/site/berkeleyadventuresleague/) Coordinator: Josiah Knight (Cell 510-470-4004; Email josiahknight@gmail.com) Note: Make sure to join and check the Facebook group to get invited to games, as this Meetup does not reflect whether the game is full or not.

Free RPG Day One-Shots @ Gamescape

***Registration on our online store is required to participate:*** [https://www.gamescapesf.store/product/free-rpg-day-one-shots-6-27-26/O63BEGFZKAD5KOWKTXMZVLIW](https://www.gamescapesf.store/product/free-rpg-day-one-shots-6-27-26/O63BEGFZKAD5KOWKTXMZVLIW) Come join Gamescape for the annual Free RPG Day event! We have four games for folks to get in on the fun: **11:30 AM - CROWS (playtest), GM EJ**: *Crows* is a dungeon-crawling, survival horror RPG. Player characters are adventurers in a desolate world who dive into horror-infested ruins to find gold, gems, and other valuable treasures to make your home village bigger and better. **11:30 AM - Sock Puppets RPG, GM Taylor**: *Sock Puppets* is an award-winning tabletop RPG about a failing children's television series. Make real, actual puppets and use them to ruin a perfectly good puppet show. **2:30 PM - Realis RPG, GM Devin**: *Realis* is a place—a cursed orbital sphere of 1,000 mystical moons filled with mystery, magic, and impossible technology. *Realis* is a game—one of diceless storytelling, where characters deploy powerful Sentences, which are rewritten over the course of their saga. **2:30 PM - Mothership, GM Lee**: Out of the Frig and into the Deep Freeze... Less than a year into your cushy science station job on a frozen alien world, your peace & tranquility is suddenly disturbed by murder and sabotage leading to a cascade of more danger and terror. Can you get out alive? Or will your body end up a gruesome corpsickle on the snow trails? Both your investigation skills and your survival skills will be tested to the limits. Good Luck! The DM kindly requests that all players at the table portray "good people" willing to help the team. And he kindly requests that no electronics be used at the table. Mothership is a Sci Fi horror game. This scenario will be rated R with death, aliens, people getting eaten, and humanity not being nice to itself. Think of the movies: Alien; John Carpenter's The Thing; The Abyss; and Event Horizon as references. See you there!
