As soon as you can

If you're reading this, we love you very much, and would like to invite you to join us to celebrate our thirty years in this wonderful life.

This is a D&D-themed party set in the city of Waterdeep: a grand feast for the city's most influential families. We'll head upstate for the weekend, and everyone plays a character. Expect a variety of activities: food, camaraderie, dancing, and of course the renewing of the Charter.

You don't need to know anything about Dungeons & Dragons. You'll get your character before you arrive.

What the Weekend Is Like

It's a story you live in for two days. Your character has a family, a few friends, and some things they want out of the weekend. You'll talk with friends and the odd rival, hunt for clues, chase your own side quests, and maybe turn up a mystery or two along the way.

This works best if everyone's pretty in. If this isn't your thing, we still love you, but this weekend may not be the most fun for you.

You don't have to run anything. If you want to be involved, text us.

The World

Waterdeep

A great port city, and the classic setting of Dungeons & Dragons.

The Charter

The Charter is the old agreement that sets out how Waterdeep is run. Every four years the city's influential families gather to renew it, and they do it the way they always have: with a feast and a dance.

The Feast of the Moon

At the end of autumn, Waterdeep honours its ancestors. Families gather, feast, and tell their old stories late into the night. This year, the Feast is also when the Charter is renewed. That's why you've been invited.

That's all you need. The rest you'll discover over the weekend.

The Practical Scroll

We're planning for the weekend of November 20–22. If too many people are travelling for Thanksgiving, we may move it to December 11–13. We'll confirm around November 1.

It's upstate, a few hours away by transit. There may be cars shuttling people on the other side. We'll share the exact place once it's confirmed.

Sliding scale, $50–200. Nothing to pay yet.

Costumes are required. It'll be cold, so make yours warm.

We'll have some beds, but not enough for everyone. Let us know if you need one and we'll figure it out. Otherwise, bring some kind of sleeping pad and blankets.

Dietary needs go in the RSVP form. Message us about anything else.
