D&D Moonlight Chronicles Drop-In Adventure

Jump into an ongoing open-world campaign where every session is a complete, self-contained story! Drop in when you're free, take a week off when you're not—no long-term commitment required. ​Whether you're a seasoned player or brand new to tabletop RPGs, this table is built for fast, accessible fun. ​The Details: * ​**Beginner Friendly:** No experience or rules knowledge needed—we’ll walk you through it. * ​**Zero Prep Required:** Pre-made characters, dice, and supplies are provided. Just show up and play! * ​**Drop-In, Drop-Out:** Every session starts and wraps up in the same evening, making it easy to fit into any schedule. ​Grab a seat, pick a hero, and let’s roll some dice! Deep within the harsh frontier wilderness of the Moonsea—on the vast continent of Faerûn, in the Forgotten Realms—lies the long-forgotten ruin of the Moonlight Academy. Centuries ago, this sanctuary was a rare haven of learning, cooperation, and hope. Fearing the spread of its peaceful influence, tyrannical powers infiltrated the school and, through vicious betrayal, wiped out faculty and students alike, leaving the halls abandoned to time. Now, after more than two hundred years, something has shifted. The moon shines her light upon the ruins once more, calling forth new heroes gifted with the power to awaken the academy’s ancient magic and rebuild what was lost. You are one such hero. The hearth has been rekindled, but the wilderness is unforgiving, and the dark forces that silenced this haven still watch from the shadows. Will you answer the call to reclaim the past and build a true beacon of hope for the future?

UFO Sighting Event. 8/23/26

Come experience a UFO sighting for yourself! Thank you to everyone who joined us at our last event. It started with a sky full of clouds, but once they cleared, the UFO activity began—and it was an incredible afternoon! A very special thank you to the amazing team from Third Phase of Moon for making the event even more memorable. Blake and Brent Cousins, Michael Schratt, Dr. J, Apolla, Robert Bingham, Fausto Perez, John, and Shelly were all fantastic, and it was great meeting so many of their enthusiastic fans. Here is the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnLCA7VPEhM If you've only heard UFO stories, now is your chance to witness the experience yourself. Bring a chair, snacks, water, and your camera or recording equipment so you can capture anything you see and share it with your friends. You'll also meet some truly fascinating people—what I like to call "UFO magnets." Ask them how they attract these mysterious objects to our location. Whether you're a longtime believer, a curious skeptic, or simply looking for a fun afternoon outdoors, everyone is welcome. We always have a great time. We are meeting at the big tree. Come join us—you never know what you might see! Jay Lee
