Dungeons & Dragons® is a role-playing game filled with fantastical scenarios and thrilling adventures. Players take on the role of heroes they create and work together with others in a party to overcome challenges and survive in a dangerous, ever-evolving world. With no screens and minimal visual aids, players rely on clear communication to navigate a richly imagined, abstract world. No two games are alike, and each story is uniquely shaped by its players. No prior experience is necessary—new players will be guided by the Dungeon Master and their peers as they embark on this exciting journey. Robbie Diaz (he/they) has been running and playing tabletop games for over a decade. He blends a foundation of classic games (Pathfinder, Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonbane) with his newfound love of indie, narrative-focused systems (Mausritter, Fabula Ultima, Root: The RPG). A recent RPG experience was running a self-made hack of Lasers & Feelings for some first-time players at the local park. When he’s not at the table, Robbie pursues voice and stage acting, enriching his practice with stories from other mediums. Bay Area Role Playing Games offers a variety of role playing game related services including camps for all ages, private sessions and birthday parties. Besides being a fun way to pass time, role playing games strengthen collaborative skills, build relationships, and explore one’s creativity. Bay Area Role Playing Games strive to create a friendly, safe and inclusive environment for all players. For more information, visit http://bayarearpg.com Sponsored by Friends of El Cerrito Library.
