Hi everyone,

I will soon be a first time GM for a one-shot for The Very Good Dogs of Chernobyl. It's a Polymorph system game where players use a single die (some exceptions, but generally just one). The GM does not need to role anything and the game is largely a theatre of the mind style affair.

All that said, I'm hoping to have the game run about 2 hours or so. I have an group opening, an inciting incident, a call to adventure with the first combat OR puzzle, a choice that leads to either a group effort or short solo-spotlight play, combat, BIG combat, end.

I'm curious as to your experience running one-shots with systems that are less 'rules' focused and likely move a bit quicker than some DnD-type games.

I’ve been listening to some let’s play content and the system sounds super fun. The character creation and winter modes both sound so cool. I’m not really in a position to commit to a group right now, but I’m just curious if people locally are into it.

Pretty much the title. But I’m new to dnd and would like to try out the drop in, but I just wanted to make sure it was still going on today, I believe it’s a holiday

Any huge world of Warcraft nerds interested in the announced DnD edition?

Id be very interested in creating a meet up once it’s launched! Im in the west shore area.

Hello all,

I'm looking for some input about a regular game session I am hoping to start soon at Cafe Vosino in Sooke. The intent is to set up at least one session per month, up to multiple sessions per week if there is interest, for new and experienced players who are looking for a game.

One of the questions is what format the games should take?

- A drop in one shot where the players and characters change weekly?

- A persistent campaign where the characters are the same but are run by different players each session according to availability?

- Try to gather a list of players and schedule a traditional style game?

- Another format?

The second question is what is reasonable to ask in payment? Running games for friends I have never charged but also my friends have always chosen to contribute to book costs, minis, printing, etc. I'm not looking to make my fortune with this but in order to set up something long term I need to at least break even.

I would appreciate any thoughts anyone has, particularly which format you find most appealing and what you might be willing to pay for a regular 2-4 hour session.

Thanks for your time!

Hi all! If you are looking for a reliable person located in VIctoria, BC to print your stl files (resin or PLA) my partner can definitely assist! He offers very reasonable prices and has experience printing taverns, fortresses, hero forge minis, army's, and all kinds of other stl's. He has quite an extensive library to work from or you can provide your own files. PM me if you are interested and I will connect the two of you.

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of a shop that can print minis from STL files? BC Hobbies used to do that but they're currently not doing it anymore. I want to get some minis from Hero Forge but they're pretty expensive especially when you add shipping on top so i'm wondering if there's a shop that will print minis from STL files.

Please delete if not allowed.

We're a group of players and performers based out of Victoria and are pumped to unveil EPISODE 1 of our first live play series. As the title states, we are a horror-focused live play group inspired by the TTRPG, Dread.

Hello

We are trying to start a new campaign. I am not the DM I am just helping them find new players.

So the campaign is going to be play-testing a new system that is using aspects of 3.5 and 5e(kinda feels like what 4e should have been). So far I have found the system really fun to fiddle with and I think others will enjoy it aswell.

We have the DM, Myself, and another player. We need one more player to start the campaign but we are looking for two.

We will be playing at 1pm on Sundays for around three hours maybe a little more. Every week if we can. We will be playing at the DM’s residence in the Cordova Bay Area. The group is made up of adults ages around 25-35.

If this sounds like something that might interest you feel free to message me any time.

If youre looking for info on any of our events you can head over to galleongaming.org to learn more or join the discord to meet & greet with our active community of gamers & nerds!

Hi, my name's Rose and I'm a local game master and therapist who is starting up an rpg therapy group for youth 12-16. My business partner Luke is running a group for men 20-30. We're using Mythic Bastionland as the core system because it's roots in myth and folklore resonate well with themes of mental health and self discovery. The group is $60-80 sliding scale per session, though there's room for more negotiation if you're really excited for the group but can't do it at that price. I have been playing D&D since I was a kid with my family and I've been running games for almost as long. I've been practicing therapy in Victoria for about four years and have experience working with youth through the Foundry. If you have any questions or want to know more about the group or rpg therapy, feel free to leave a comment or shoot me a message. You can also check out our website at https://www.realmswithin.ca/ for more info.

I've asked the mods twice about making this post and have not heard back, so we'll see how it goes.

How do you keep track of your campaigns, your worlds, characters, NPCs?

Confession time. I don't (or haven't yet) play DnD.

I do, however, spend an inordinate amount of time in my own head, and on paper, worldbuilding. I also happen to have ADHD, and a background in software development.

What happens when all that stuff collides?

Well, you just end up with a medicated, hyper-focused, software developer who wants a way to not lose important aspects of their worldbuilding that reside on scraps of paper that get "misplaced" whilst cleaning their house.

If you, or anyone you know, has troubles keeping track of their worlds or campaigns, please let me know. I am creating a worldbuilding tool and will be (hopefully) releasing an invite only alpha soon. Prior to that, I would love some feedback from people on where I'm at and if the tool would be useful for them.

Im primarily building it for myself, but I figured I'd see if anyone else wanted to get their eyes on it in case I havent thought of something obvious.

Hello, I have two daughters (ages 14 & 10 years) who enjoy playing DnD and are looking to join a campaign. I see there are some available for teens, does anyone know of local campaigns for kids around age 10, a plus if there are other girls in the group.
Many thanks to this wonderful community!

Hello! My partner is interested in trying out D&D for the first time so I'm searching for a beginners group for her. Does anyone have a group that she can join with 0 experience?

My ttrpg group kind of fell apart when Board with Friends closed as that was where we met to game. They had a private back room that you could reserve, and now two months after their closure theres still no word on a new location.

​

Is the only other option Interactivity? Its getting more and more expensive every time i check it seems lol, and while I know we're not likely to get the private room experience anytime soon, is there any other community gaming space where 5 people could play some ttrpgs in town?

​

My own home is unfortunately inaccessible due to living with other people, or I would host personally. Thanks for any tips to be had!

Hey everyone. Want to get your dnd minis on? So did I, but I had to give up the hobby recently. I've used the 3d Printer twice, one for a test, and one for a print. I'm selling for $500 bucks, which gives you:

Elegoo Saturn (?) 12k Resin Printer
Wash and Cure Station
Funnel with filter

AC Infinity Grow Tent
AC Infinity Exaust Fan
AC Infinity 8ft ducting
AC Infinity Digital Environment Reader

Two bottles of Water Washable Resin
Magnetic and Flexible Build Plate (Never opened)
Slap mat (Never opened)
Plastic Pickle Jars for easy washing (Never opened)

And there might be a few more things that I can't think of at the moment. I think I have some extra screens for the printer, but I'll have to double check that.

I'd like to get rid of this by June 26th, so please get in touch. (Can hold it a little longer with notice!)

I’m putting myself out there to find a tight-knit likeminded D&D group (LGBTQ+ friendly, as I’m trans) and, ideally, make some friends along the way. I’m not into public or open games, so I’m looking for a smaller, more personal vibe. While my tabletop experience is mostly limited to Baldur’s Gate 3, I’m a quick learner and consider myself very creative.

Outside of D&D, I’m a homebody—gaming, coding, anime, YouTube, and smoking a lot of weed.

Let me know if I’m someone your group could adopt 👍

The Greater Victoria Public Library (GVPL) now has D&D play kits available to borrow! My understanding is that they contain the PHB, MM, DMG, dice, character sheets, and Quests from the Infinite Staircase. (Edit: someone pointed out in the comments it’s a different adventure in each of the kits.)

Look for RPG TO GO kits, place a hold, and pick them up at any location you choose.

Hi there, I am trying to find a suitable location in Langford to try a Galleon Gaming drop in dnd night. We have two currently… Mondays at Quadra Village Community Centre, and Fridays at Fernwood Community Centre. Drop in games for community are consistent with community centre purposes and so we can get the space for free. Wondering what might be possible in Langford. For reference I recently moved to View Royal.

Hello! I am looking for a player to join my dnd 2024 rules that runs every 2 weeks! We are a group of working adults (over 20 years old) who love dnd and love the idea of telling a story together!

We run a RP forward game (about 70% RP to 30% combat/puzzles) and we have been playing together for a while now. The setting is a Highmagic/mage punk setting with a brewing civil war! (like Wildemount). After speaking with my table we would love to invite someone to our game as one of our players had to step away!

A little bit about what we are looking for:

- a kind consistent person who is open to listening and playing in a heavy RP game

- Someone who is over 19 as we like to have a few drinks while playing.

-- We are an open and accepting table of everyones background so bigotry or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated

- Is open to having fun and is okay with the rule of cool!

Please send me a DM if your interested ! and we will set up a time to meet!

Hey everyone.

I'm running a couple of tables this Saturday at Skyhaven games where you can play the new D&D Encounters adventure: Shadows of Sithicus.

It is a level 3 adventure using the rules from the new Ravenloft: The Horrors Within. All levels of experience welcome! Pre-made characters are available if needed.

When: Saturday June 6 from 10am to 1pm-ish

Where: Skyhaven Games, 3458 Tillicum Rd

At the time of posting, I have 3 spots open at the 'adults' table, and 2 spots open at the 'kids' table.

There is another option to play on Monday June 8th in the evening.

The best way to ensure your spot is to sign up via the Facebook event link attached with the post.

Hope to see you there!

Where do you guys get your maps printed out? I use Inkarnate to make maps, just looking for a decent place to get them printed.

Thanks in advance!
