SUMMARY:D&D Paint & Play with Matt: The Missing Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:A D&D 5.5e (2024) One-Shot Adventure for 3rd-Level Characters\nThe renowned painter Master Ellian Voss has missed the unveiling of his newest masterpiece\, a painting commissioned by the wealthy collector Lady Mirabel Thorn. This is unprecedented. Voss has never failed to complete a commission\, and repeated knocks at his secluded manor have gone unanswered. \nRumors whisper that Voss’s artwork possessed an uncanny realism\, with landscapes that seemed to sway in unseen breezes and portraits whose eyes followed viewers across the room. Most dismissed these tales as the exaggerations of impressed patrons. \nLady Thorn fears the elderly artist has fallen ill or suffered some accident. She offers a generous reward to anyone willing to investigate the manor\, locate Master Voss\, and recover the missing painting if possible. \nDM: Matt\nPlayer Requirements: Bring your creativity and dice for a D&D paint & play! Select a miniature to paint the first hour in the Vale and then play that character in a 3-hour adventure called The Missing Masterpiece. The cost includes your miniature (you keep)\, the painting supplies and the adventure.\nDifficulty: Beginner/Intermediate \nEvent Details:\n🗓️ Date: Sunday\, September 27\n🕰️ Time: 1:00 – 5:00 PM\n📍 Location: The Viridian Bookshop\n💰 Cost: $40 \n💚 Why Tickets Matter: Your ticket helps support our talented Game Masters by covering their time\, creativity\, and materials used to craft these adventures.
