Our first event was born out of me wanting to get my personal friends together to play games. I originally made the event private on facebook, but after realizing I couldn’t let people join the event with these settings, I made it public and people I didn’t know were signing up. We were able to sell out our 30 spots.
Our second event doubled in size with 60 players, 12 DMs, and my partner and I running the event. We were able to offer a range of games, door prizes from local businesses, and raise money for charity.
This event was born out of so many parents asking to have their kids come to our events. One mother in particular offered to provide us with door prizes and I knew I had to start this event. We had 7 children attend and had 2 tables going. We had door prizes and hosted it at the RPL Central Library.
Our third event was very much the same as last time, but with some behind the scenes modifications such as using eventbrite for all of our ticketing to create a smoother event on both event coordination and attendee engagement. We were also able to reduce people who didn’t attend last minute which was a challenge for our second event.
Due to Covid, this event was hosted through Roll20. We had 10 people attend and ran two tables to give people the chance to try the newest Dungeons and Dragons book.
Due to Covid, this event was hosted online. We hosted one table of Call of Cthulhu to give people the chance to try out the system.

The event was another success, having sold out our 40 tickets in under 26 hours and raising 500$ for Lulu's lodge.
We were able to put on another great event for 15 children through A Wild Sheep Chase, a Dungeons and Dragons one-shot.
