Dungeons & Dragons

UPDATE (Wednesday evening) -
This game is being rescheduled for Saturday afternoon so that more people can attend. If you're interested in joining the Saturday game, please add your contact info in the Google Doc below.

Are you a fan of the classic Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game? Let’s play together!
We’re running a short adventure for level 1 characters, using the virtual tabletop program Roll20 (free, account required). Sign up for a session in this D&D at Open Ed Google Doc, so that we can contact players ahead of time. Do so early if you want to create your own character. Otherwise, we have premade characters ready to go.

About the session:
For decades, Ellaria Feywing, known as the Master of Merriam Vale, has trained and mentored groups of young adventurers in exploration, magic, and fighting. When you and your friends completed your training and bade Ellaria farewell just three days ago, you didn’t know that you would be her final students. She died in her sleep that very night, but she left you a message in her will...it appears she has one more task for you.

Take a walk outside and get some fresh air
Make a pot of your favorite tea (or other beverage) and sip it somewhere quiet with book or magazine
Take out a pen and do a crossword puzzle, sudoku, or other game to stretch your mental muscles away from the computer
Do some yoga, meditation, or mindfulness exercises

“Among Us”: OER Edition

Among Us is a hit party game about teamwork and betrayal! You and your crewmates can play this game online and attempt to keep your spaceship together. It's important that each of you cooperate with one another in order to return back to civilization.

The game takes place in a space-themed setting, in which players each take on one of two roles, most being Crewmates, and a predetermined number being Impostors. The goal of the Crewmates is to identify the Impostors, eliminate them, and complete tasks around the map; the Impostors' goal is to covertly sabotage and kill the Crewmates before they complete all of their tasks.

You will need to download the free App (works on Android, iPhone/iPad, and Windows, but for Mac OSX you'd need to download an emulator like Bluestack).
