Thirsty Sword Lesbians Wednesday, April 1st 7pm CT www.twitch.tv/reflectgames FUNDRAISING STREAM STARTING SOON!! #JoyfulGaming #Fundraiser #CharityStream #ThirstySwordLesbians #ReflectGames

The Chicago Charity Convention Crawl begins this evening at Moonflower Bar! To help you get started, we’ve organized the convention games and other events in a handy alignment chart so that players have a way to more easily consent to the depth of difficult topics they’re up for

A series of games at this weekend's con crawl are part of "Kill It Keep It" where the player who drops the BBEG to 0 HP wins the mini! All weekend, you can play "activation" games that affect the showdown with boons like magic items, lair effects, or information! Because we're stronger together 💜

This coming Sunday is made for adventure in Chicagoland. Whether you go northwest to Snakes & Lattes with GM Max or south to Rock Island Public House with @theblackdarkman.bsky.social you're sure to have a great afternoon!

As a follow up to what we're doing instead of C2E2, it's this! (don't worry, it's not behind a paywall) www.patreon.com/posts/announ...

Big news from us regarding this year's C2E2 (and why we're not only not going, but putting on our own event - more on that to come!)

Need a respite from the stress of snow & 🧊? Want a unique and fun Valentine's Day outing? Join us at @polarvortexcon.bsky.social this coming weekend! Visit out booth for dice, 3D printed accessories, & other awesome goodies, and find our very own @dexthewriter.bsky.social for Tarot RPG
