[Announce-gamessoc] Dungeons & Dragons

by gamessoc＠redbrick.dcu.ie

For anyone interested in playing some tabletop RPGs please read below on how to get involved. You can contact us or contact Seamus directly. Mark Flood Gamessoc Secretary ====================================================================== Hi all, Seamus here. Over the last few weeks I have been asking around about interest in Dungeons & Dragons. There seems to be enough interest to begin planning, so I'm going to start taking names and I'll put together something over the next week or so. If you are in any way interested in D&D, be it playing, DMing, or even a casual interest, please do get in contact. I can be found at seamus.foley24(a)mail.dcu.ie, or you can send me a message on Facebook. Here is a rough framework of details you may want to know: Players: Absolutely all are welcome, there is no minimum requirement. All ranges of experience with D&D/RPGs are welcome. We will probably be using Fifth edition D&D, as it is the system I am most familiar with, and the easiest to learn. It is my intention to do some warm up sessions to familiarize players with the rules and the system before we launch into any specific campaigns. I am willing to DM at least one game, but others are welcome to DM games if they wish. There is no plan as yet with regards game times, as this will largely depend on the availability of those involved. I hope to hear from you soon! Thanks, Seamus Foley
