Join us for role-playing adventure in Dungeons and Dragons and beyond! We will have short campaigns telling a complete story arc, with new sessions beginning every four weeks. No experience is required in any game system to play, and pre-made characters will be provided. If you want to bring your own character, however, you’re more than welcome to! Reach out for any specific requirements before the adventure begins. Dice, notebooks, and pencils are recommended but not required. Feel free to bring your own snacks!

Zoinks, gang! There's a Saturday Morning Mystery afoot! This month on Library Legends, we'll be playing The Mystery Business, a game that calls back to Scooby-doo and its many knock-offs of teens and their talking animal sidekicks getting the upper hand on adults dressing up in monster costumes. It's a little bit silly, but it's a whodunnit at its core, and the only TTRPG that actively wants to split the party, as what would one of those sorts of shows be without the gang splitting up? Is the swamp creature actually Old Man Henderson? Let's play and find out!

(Ages 18+)
