Happy Monday! As much as I preferred the California weather, I love that it's starting to warm up a bit here.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS!
--> CHANGES COMING TO KID's D&D Night
We're looking into a procedure for Sign-ups each week for Kids D&D Night. With having more and more kids each week, we need to come up with a more organized way to do things. I don't have the procedure locked down yet, but expect changes to come soon. Also considering making it Kid's RPG Night to open up the possibilty of teaching other RPGs outside of D&D strictly.
--> VOLUNTEER GMs NEEDED:
RPG SUMMER CLUB: It's almost summer. It's time to start organizing the RPG Summer Club. I'm going to be sending out a Google Form next week if anyone is interested in running RPGs this summer for the kids. 4 sessions in total through June and July. Session A will be Mondays in June, Session B will be Wednesdays in June. Session C will be Tuesdays in July, and Session D will be Thursdays in July. Time will be 11am - 2pm. Each session will have at least 1 table for 6th-8th graders and 1 table for 9th-12th graders. If we have enough GMs, we'll have more than 1 table.
FREE RPG DAY: June 21st is Free RPG Day this year. We're going to be running RPGs all day. That requires GMs. I'm waiting on confirmation on what modules we will be receiving and then I'll be sending out that form to collect GMs for that event.
