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. You can share your contact information for gaming availability here as well: [http://bit.ly/gaming_availability](http://bit.ly/gaming_availability) Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BayAreaAdventureLeague/ Calendar: https://www.facebook.com/groups/BayAreaAdventureLeague/events/?source=4&action_history=null&filter=calendar

THE NIGHT SOW

*Vaesen: Nordic Horror Roleplaying* The snow is falling. The sea is black. And somewhere along the rocky coast of a remote Swedish fishing village, something enormous is moving through the darkness. The local chaplain speaks in whispers of a monstrous white sow with tusks like knives, bristles sharp as razors, and eyes that burn like live coals. He says it comes in the night. He says it cannot be stopped. And he says that those who hear its approach are already doomed. Can you uncover the truth behind The Night Sow? Join us for a chilling session of Vaesen, the tabletop roleplaying game of Scandinavian folklore, supernatural mysteries, and things that go bump in the frozen night. Expect eerie encounters, unsettling discoveries, and a healthy chance of making some very poor decisions in the name of curiosity. No Vaesen experience required. The rules are easy to pick up. Just bring your imagination, your nerve, and a willingness to investigate things that sensible people would leave well alone.

Goblin City Megagame

Goblin City is a large scale game where you take the role of a tiny little goblin trying to make it in this crazy world. In this game you will create freeform actions with your friends and teammates to accomplish any goal your little goblin brain comes up with. Want to create a new holiday called Feaster, complete with its own Feaster carols and traditions? Do you want to start a lobster themed resort where your guests ease their pains away in a lava river? Or would you rather create evil rituals for your half dragon, half gourd god so they can smite your enemies? You can do that and more in Goblin City. Plus each game is canonical, meaning your actions can and will have lasting consequences for future generations! A Legacy Megagame! [What is a Megagame](https://www.westcoastmegagames.com/whats-a-megagame)? Megagames are large social games involving multiple teams of players. The subject matter can range from politics, economics, history, science fiction, or heroic fantasy. Much of what goes on in a megagame might be described as social play – though there is also a significant element of problem solving, strategy, negotiation, and, of course, humor. Tickets are $30 here: https://www.tickettailor.com/events/westcoastmegagames/2354710
