SUMMARY:D&D One-Shot with DM Matt - Equinox of the Living Dead
DESCRIPTION:D&D One-Shot with DM Matt – Equinox of the Living Dead\n🗓️  When: Sunday\, March 15\, 2026\n🕰️  Time: 1:00-5:00 PM\n📍 Where: The Viridian Bookshop\n🎟️  Tickets: $30 \n🧙DM: Matt\n🎲 Level: 5\n🗡️ Difficulty: Intermediate\n📜 System: Bring a level 5 character using the D&D 2024 rules. We will have pre-generated 5th level characters for those who do not have one. Use fixed HP\, attributes standard array/point buy system\, and can start with one uncommon and two common magic items. \n⚔️ Adventure Summary: \nOn the vernal equinox\, when day and night balance on a razor’s edge and the veil between the living and the dead grows thin\, something has begun clawing its way up through Briar Hollow Cemetery. Ghouls stalk the gravestones at dusk. A terrified groundskeeper swears that cultists have broken an ancient seal and descended into the underground crypts. And as the church bells toll\, you feel it in your bones: this is not just another undead uprising. \nDelve into forgotten catacombs aligned with the equinox. Confront zealots who believe death should rule the world. Stand where light and night weigh the same. Balance must be restored before sunrise\, or something far worse than death will claim Briar Hollow. \n✏️ There is a 3-player minimum to all D&D one-shot events. If there are less than 3 players signed up by the night before the event\, tickets will be transferred to the next one-shot of your choice. \n Why Tickets Matter:Your ticket helps support our talented Game Masters by covering their time\, creativity\, and materials used to craft these adventures.

Two Worlds to Choose From:\n  \nThe Eternal City is Trembling\n\nDM: JakeSystem: D&D 5e 2024Level: 5–8 (Intermediate)\nCharacter Creation: Standard Array or Point Buy\n \nFive centuries ago\, survivors of the Great Western Cataclysm crossed the sea and built the mighty stone city of Krathe in Eastern Annevar. For 500 years\, it has stood as civilization’s crown jewel — art\, history\, and power carved into bedrock. \nNow\, that bedrock trembles. \nAncient monuments crack. Rhythmic tremors pulse beneath the streets. Hooded figures known only as The Veiled stalk the shadows. The High Council has sealed itself away in the Inner Sanctum. \nYou are residents of Krathe — scholars\, mercenaries\, guild members\, or ordinary citizens — watching the foundations of your world fracture beneath your feet. \nThe bells are tolling. \nAnd they are not ringing for celebration. \nThe Colored Kiss \nDM: NoahSystem: D&D 5e 2014 preferred (2024 accepted)Level: 4–6 or 8–10 (decided at Session Zero) \nWelcome to Shynta\, a vast world of three continents and seas of sand. \nYour adventure begins on the continent of Maultor\, divided between: \n\n\nThe Empire of Naejeon \n\n\nThe Land of the Fogged \n\n\nVusli \n\n\nGrassy hills stretch across the land. Elven nations rise and trade. But beyond the Iron Hills lies mystery — and rumor. \nYou and your companions begin as sailors aboard the stained-glass ship The Colored Kiss\, captained by the ever-reckless Breeze Kald. The ship sails toward scattered island colonies within the unforgiving sandy seas — where researchers chase secrets\, colonists seek new beginnings\, and soldiers crave glory. \nThe captain welcomes new crew easily. \nNot all return. \nWhat will you discover beyond the mainland?What waits in the sand-torn waters?And who will you become along the way? \n🎲 This Is Just the Beginning\nWhether you’re a seasoned adventurer or ready to roll your very first set of dice\, this is your chance to be part of something from the ground floor. \nSeats will be limited. \nGather your courage.Sharpen your blades.Prepare your spells. \nYour story starts at Session Zero. \n\n Why Tickets Matter:Your ticket helps support our talented Game Masters by covering their time\, creativity\, and materials used to craft these adventures. It also helps us cover the cost of providing premium game rooms.
