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.

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.

SUMMARY:Sculpting Power - A D&D Six Session Mini-Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the world of Shynta (pronounced Shy-inta)\, a richly imagined homebrew setting spanning three vast continents\, scattered islands\, and seas of endless sand. This mini-campaign invites players to explore one corner of this evolving world while helping shape its lore\, politics\, and future through collaborative storytelling. \nThis adventure takes place on the continent of Thumatra during one of the most pivotal moments in its political cycle: the Volc-Beetle Migration. This rare event signals a transfer of power within Thumatra’s internal government\, determining which clan will claim the throne and castle in the capital city of Mantel. \nThumatran society is built upon three cultural pillars: Strength\, Wealth\, and Craftsmanship. During the migration\, clans recruit champions and loyal members to represent their banner in a high-stakes race across the land. Their goal: recover the largest molten or crystalline fragments left behind in previous Volc-Beetle nests and transport them safely to Mantel for judgment. \nBut raw materials alone are not enough. Each clan must sculpt its prize into something worthy of admiration while navigating sabotage from rival factions\, protecting their own work\, and deciding just how far they’re willing to go for victory. \nFor some clans\, wealth makes any obstacle surmountable. Others compete for prestige\, publicity\, or the thrill of the challenge itself. A select few enter the race with ambitions far greater than glory—hoping to reshape the future of Thumatra’s government. \nWhere will your party align in this chaotic race to Mantel\, and what legacy will your clan leave behind? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCampaign Details:\nDM: Noah\nSystem: DnD 5e 2014 preferred but 2024 is accepted for character creation. Race\, class and other information to be talked about at session 0\nLevel: 8-10\nSchedule:\nSession 0: Saturday\, September 5\, 5:00-9:00 PM\nSession 1: Saturday\, September 19\, 5:00-9:00 PM\nSession 2: Saturday\, October 10\, 1:00-5:00 PM\nSession 3: Saturday\, October 24\, 5:00-9:00 PM\nSession 4: Saturday\, November 7\,  5:00-9:00 PM\nSession 5: Saturday\,  November 21\, 5:00-9:00 PM\nSession 6: Saturday\,  December 5\, 5:00-9:00 PM\nCost: $150.00 \n💚 Why Tickets Matter: Your ticket helps support our talented Game Masters by covering their time\, creativity\, and materials used to craft these adventures. \n
