I can bring out my copy on May 9 and we can run two games if there is enough interest.

[Matt Robertson]

[mauvian]

I can bring out my copy on May 9 and we can run two games if there is enough interest.

I would say put up the second game.  There will be more people wanting to play.  We can even balance the two games player-wise if need be.

Please add me to Earth if Tamara is also bringing a copy. thanks.

[Carmen Pauls Orthner]

Please put me and Bryan in for Earth. Sara will likely play the "learn to play" games again, depending on what is on offer. And if there is high demand, one of us can sit out as needed.

[Mick]

Apparently "Earth Day" is a couple weeks later than usual.... 

The LTP games will be Crystallized and we'll play Downforce again.

[Carmen Pauls Orthner]

I'm not sure why but I appear to be listed as Carmen K instead of Carmen O for Earth. I'll answer to Carmen O, Carmen P O (but not POed), or even C3PO.

GAME: Dungeons & Dragons - D&D Beyond character build tutorial & pre campaign setup.
TEACHER: Mac (Superfan036)
START TIME: 18:30
DURATION: 1.5-2 hours
# OF PLAYERS: 4-8 (more is okay though)
URL: https://www.dndbeyond.com/how-to-play-dnd
Event information: I am going to begin a campaign with returning players. We will play 1 or 2 times a month or as we are able. I will still be hosting learn to play D&D events in between this campaign.

The best part of D&D is choosing your character & leveling up. Making choices that you want for your character. We will be building your 1st level character from scratch on the D&D beyond app so bring a tablet or your smart phone. I will be providing a link to begin your character build so there's no need to have it made in advance. If you have any questions message me directly. See you there.

[Superfan036]

For anyone already signed up for a game on Tuesday that may be interested in the D&D campaign, I can stick around or you can join when you are done your game. If we have a lot of interest that is fine, people will miss nights so it will be good if we have extra people that are interested. Let us know if you are interested & will be joining late. Thanks.

[Matt Robertson]

Sign me up for Earth please!

Ha!
Unsign me from Earth, I just realized that I am the ambassador.

[Doug B]

Oh, I have been waiting to hear more about D&D - please unsign me from Earth (sorry) and add me to Mac's D&D campaign. Hopefully I will be able to try Earth another time. Thanks so much.

[Henrik S]

I'm not sure why but I appear to be listed as Carmen K instead of Carmen O for Earth. I'll answer to Carmen O, Carmen P O (but not POed), or even C3PO.

I'm sorry about that typo, thanks for catching it!

[Marshall]

I will join Earth since a spot opened.

Mac, I have a friend who is a total newbie to gaming of any kind, but she is an actor and a playwright. If she's free, could she join??
