Regardless of who is DMing this go around, we are going to have a fun game and roll some dice (and maybe heads?). REGISTER for this event with a valid email address in this event calendar (or call the library). If you participated in a previous virtual D&D game, you still have to register for this event. FIND some sort of mic. It works with gamer headsets, blue tooth headphones, laptops. We don't necessarily need to see one another but we do need to hear one another. Character Requirements: create a character in DND beyond, and send the link to ezelivetz@jefflibrary.org. The character must be a level 5 and the only "Elf" races available are Half-Elf and Drow. To begin your character has 500 gold and 1 uncommon magic item. Remember this format is new to us so the game play may be glitchy. Just be patient and remember we are here to play some D&D.
