GAME: Dungeons and Dragons, beginner but knows the basics
TEACHER: Sean
START TIME: 7:00pm
DURATION: 120-150 minutes
# OF PLAYERS: 4 to 5

I am looking at running a couple one shot sessions of Dungeons and Dragons over the next few weeks.  Ideally, I would be looking for players who know the basic rules, and have maybe played once or twice.  I am hoping this might connect people looking for some additional experience, and possibly to find other players for a group.  Group size should be 4 to 5 players as that is a normal group size.
I am open to teaching newer players, but not someone who has never played, or does not have any experience at all, as there isn't time to do this in a 2 hour time slot.

[erdrikwolf]

For D&D , bring a second level character, any legal build is fine.  For stats use standard array, and for hp you can take average or roll, either one.

[Mick]

Just got a couple new factions I want to try out! This cute game has lots of teeth, we will take turns focusing on the lead player as we claw our way to victory over the woodland. Experience preferred but not required, but new players to the game are welcome the way gazelles are welcome to a pride of lions... 

GAME: Root (with Riverfolk and Marauder factions expansions)
TEACHER: Mick
START TIME: 19:30
DURATION: 180+ mins
# OF PLAYERS: 5 (could go to 6 with experienced players but makes for long game)

Full disclosure, I have read the rules and watched a playthrough but have never actually played before so there may be some rulebook checks along the way.

[Cameron Widger]

Sign me up for Ready, Set, Bet, please

[Mick]

So sorry but Mick and Elaine have to back out and cancel Root. Hate to do this last minute but cannot be helped. We will postpone our woodland adventure for another time....

Please sign myself and Cameron from Calgary up for the 18:30 Viticulture game, thanks!

[Bo]

I'll sign up for 7 Wonders Duel. Thank you.

[Shane H]

Since no Root, I would like to join Viticulture! Heard great things and always wanted to try it.

[erdrikwolf]

No interest in D&D this week, so you can cancel it and I will try again next week.

[tlh878]

I was busy last week with the byelections and Regina Folk Festival and am just now getting to the forums.  I would love to join Viticulture - it's one of my favourites!

I will also bring some games for after Viticulture, but I'm not sure what yet.

[Morley]

[Bigbreeze]
