Dandelion Adventurers Meetup: A Queer Teen D&D Game Night

Join us for our monthly game of D&D for queer youth ages 13-17! Participants will fight as a guild and come together to beat unique baddies! Premade character sheets starting at level 3, 5, 10, 15, and sometime even 20 will be available for the given adventure being run, as well as a set of dice for any newcomers. Games will be run on the 2024 edition (also known as 5.5e) and players may use their character sheets if they do not include homebrew content, and are within 2 levels of the level being run that month. Attendance for game night is free and includes one free tea drink! Anyone ages 13-17 is welcome to attend, but please RSVP in advance so we know how many folks to expect. The game will start at 4pm and end at 7pm - you are welcome to drop your kiddo off and come pick them up at 7, or you can hang out in the teahouse while the game is happening. Please contact Kat ([email protected]) with any questions!
