D&D Amsterdam - September Meetup (HoW)
About the event
**** PLEASE READ ALL OF THE TEXT BELOW **\
Well met, adventurers! We are once again hosting a D&D event for new and experienced players alike!
To keep with fairness, we ask our members to only sign up for one of our events each month, with an exception for those who are DMing at at least one event that month.
COMMUNITY You can now join our Discord server using the below link! [Discord](https://discord.gg/xttHHUaFbK)
HOW TO ATTEND?
• You MUST be 18+. • You MUST RSVP to the event on Meetup. RSVP's open 2 weeks before the event. • Be on time (Especially new players & groups) • Find one of the organizers on your arrival. You'll then be pointed to your table, or get assigned to a game if you don’t have one yet.
DUNGEON MASTERS
We're always looking for DMs as they make these events possible! If you'd like to DM a game:
• Fill-in this simple form: [DM Registration Form](https://forms.gle/UtnLpNSCpNYSweu3A) • For any questions regarding DMing, contact the event organizer [Jamie](https://www.meetup.com/members/272027530/)
You can run whatever game you'd like. We also have a collection of one-page adventures available which anyone with a basic grasp of the rules can use as a framework to build a game around!
SCHEDULE
Please arrive before 14:00. If you arrive late, it may not be possible to find you a game.
13:00 - Venue opens & Organizers start setting up
13:30 - Player/DM Arrival time & game sign-up
14:00 - The Speech
14:05 - Game on!
18:30 - The event officially ends. *We must leave the venue as they need to get their space ready for any events they might have during the evening.*
I'VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE, CAN I JOIN?
YES! No prior experience is needed, though we'd ask you to arrive at 13:30 so that someone can help you understand a basic character sheet. We strive to have beginner-friendly games at every event.
HOW DO I KNOW WHICH GAME I AM IN?
We will post a game schedule in the event chat on Meetup one week before the event. Your DM might try to contact you via Meetup before the event so please, under "Contacts", change your privacy settings to "Member of my groups only" so you can receive messages from your DM: [www.meetup.com/account/privacy](www.meetup.com/account/privacy)
WHAT DO I HAVE TO BRING?
Just a character to play, and maybe some dice if you have them. The week before the event, a game schedule will be posted in the event chat with details about your game and the rules for creating a character. If you don't know how to build a character, your DM can provide one, or you can use tools like DnDBeyond.
GAMEPLAY GUIDELINES
• *DM has final say*, don’t argue with your Dungeon Master. Any arguments can be settled after your game. • *Respect your fellow players* and don't invade their personal space without consent. • *Play collaboratively*, there are enough monsters trying to kill your character already. • *Recommended:* NO PvP, NO in-game stealing, etc. • *We will not tolerate discrimination or disrespectful behavior of any kind.* • *Prohibited topics include (but are not limited to):* Sexism, sexual violence & content of any kind, excessive graphic violence, verbal violence, content or behavior that discriminates or marginalizes people based on personal attributes such as gender, race, religion, political views, age, disability, medical or genetic conditions, etc.
*If you do encounter any inappropriate behavior, please don’t hesitate to contact one of the event organizers and allow them to deal with the situation.*
VENUES AND MONEY MATTERS
There's no charge. However, a donation box will be circulated by the event organizers during the event. You can donate with cash or use the QR code on the donation box. Contributions are purely voluntary; you are under no obligation. We don't track or record who donates what.
The venues rely on us spending on food and drink while we are there. Our continued use of the venues is dependent upon it. i.e. if you're thinking of having lunch at the venue, please…
