Try It Club is a monthly young adult social event that encourages participants to try new things to get involved in their community. They occur on the 4th Saturday of the month. Events are planned by our volunteer working group and lead up to a massive expo event in January!

The first event of the series will be a Dungeons & Dragons One Shot.

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (RPG) where players collaborate to tell a story, often involving adventurers exploring dungeons, fighting monsters, and finding treasure. One player acts as the Dungeon Master (DM), who guides the story and controls non-player characters and monsters. The other players each control a unique character, making decisions and taking actions within the game world. 

Our incredible DMs Joel, Zoe, Jeremy, Quinn and Shane have some amazing campaigns for you to choose from on the day. You will be in a group of 5 for the afternoon with a mixture of experienced and new players.

Snacks are provided. Registration is essential, so get in quick to avoid missing out.
