Dungeons and Dragons (2024): The Secrets of Skogholm Reach

When the Empire of Isolde fell suddenly, your liege, Duke Thoncek Brenwarum, was quick to lay claim to Skogholm Reach. But with rebels in Irstoia (the Reach’s only permanent settlement), an entire legion of the Duke’s soldiers gone missing and the threat of orc raiders from the eastern plains, the Reach has been difficult to hold.

So the Duke has, once again, sent you to the fix the problem. That is why he keeps you in his employ, after all.

Join us for a long running campaign set in the misty, coastal forests of Skogholm Reach. We will be using the DnD 2024 rule set. Players can choose any character options from the 2024 Player’s handbook, with one house rule. If a character has multiple classes, only one can be level 3 or higher. This will limit characters to a single subclass. We will be starting at level 10, so bring an appropriately leveled up character without their Ability score filled in.

Washington Corridor Board Game Meetup @ The Cookshack

Welcome to our new meetup at The Cookshack on Washington Ave. We previously met at the Taco Cabana on Yale Street. Please support our new venue by making a purchase.

We mostly play modern board games, but everyone is welcome to come and play what they’d like. Bring games you’d like to play or come willing to learn new games. Note that our meetup usually attracts 20+ people on average, many of whom don’t always RSVP on Meetup.

If you’re arriving by car, it is recommended you park in the back of the strip center off of Leverkuhn Street (the side facing Five Guys).

If you’re arriving by bus, 085 has a stop right at the strip center on Washington Ave @ Jackson Hill St if going eastbound. Or if you're coming in westbound, 085 has a stop at Washington Ave @ Bonner St.

We hope to see you there!
