SUMMARY:After Hours Murder Mystery - Case of the Lakefront Lurker
DESCRIPTION:For nearly 15 years\, a quiet lakefront town in Ohio has been tormented by a string of\nmurders. Willoughby\, Ohio has now had a 5-year drought of these killings. This drought\nhas led citizens to form their own theories and speculate amongst themselves as to\nwhere the locally renowned\, “Lakefront Lurker” has been. Theories include that the\nLurker had passed away\, was incriminated for other crimes\, or had simply retired from\nviolent crime. \nThe murder spree has left its mark on the town. The murderer was believed to stalk\ntheir victims for days before striking. Understanding the victim’s schedules and when\nwould be ideal to attack. The Lurker has been profiled by federal agents to be very\npremeditated\, highly intelligent and to show a great amount of patience. Once the killer\nstruck\, the victims were brutally murdered and were found to have died via blunt force\ntrauma. The city of Willoughby was left with multiple bodies and an instinctual untrust of\ntheir own neighbors. \nEach murder scene has had its own set of obstacles in researching\, but ongoing efforts\nhave allowed police to identify key evidence and characteristics of the crimes that they\nbelieve will lead to the killer. The past 5 years has also allowed local Willoughby\ndetectives to close in on identifying whom The Lakefront Lurker could be. \nJune 14 th will be the 15 th anniversary of the first murder committed. There will be a\ngathering of citizens and law enforcement on the anniversary. This gathering will allow\nthe community to close it’s darkest chapter together. Going through 5 cold cases\nbelieved the most crucial in identifying the killer. The detectives are inviting the public to\nassist in hopes of attracting all of the suspects to clear their names and additionally\nbringing the actual murderer to the Viridian Bookshop in downtown to place them under\narrest. \nRecreating the scenes of 5 of the murders in Willoughby\, detectives believe they will finally be able\nto solve the biggest question in their town’s history\, “Who is the Lakefront Lurker?” \n  \nEvent Details:\n🗓️ Date: Sunday\, June 14\n🕰️ Time: 5:30-7:30 PM\n📍 Location: The Viridian Bookshop\n💰 Cost: $15

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\, 5:00-9:00 PM\, June 13th\nSession 1: Saturday\, 5:00-9:00 PM\, June 20th\nSession 2: Sunday\, 1:00-5:00 PM\, July 5th\nSession 3: Saturday\, 5:00-9:00 PM\, July 11th\nSession 4: Saturday\,  5:00-9:00 PM\, July 25th\nSession 5: Saturday\,  5:00-9:00 PM\, August 8th\nSession 6: Saturday\,  5:00-9:00 PM\, August 15th\nCost: $180.00 \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

SUMMARY:Summers of Discontent - A D&D Six Session Mini-Campaign
DESCRIPTION:Summer was supposed to smell of cut hay\, river rain\, and festival smoke drifting lazily above the rooftops of Timiney. Instead\, it smelled of burning flesh and wet ash. \nGoblin raiders wearing the colors of the newly appointed baron descended upon the village with firebrands\, crude blades\, and terrifying discipline. Homes were torched. Families scattered into the dark woods. Those who survived did so by luck\, courage\, or the refusal to die quietly. You are among the survivors. \nIn the aftermath\, the world does not heal quickly. Timiney was not alone.  Crops fail. Refugees are found from all the nearby villages. Yet from the ruins\, something stubborn begins to grow. Over the course of several years\, you and your companions will help rebuild broken communities\, defend the frontier from monsters and mercenaries\, forge alliances\, and uncover the truth behind the baron’s sudden rise to power. Because goblins do not unite under a banner without reason. \nWhispers speak of ancient things stirring beneath the mountains. Of disappearances along forgotten roads. Of advisors in the baron’s court who speak from the shadows. Every victory reveals another thread in a web spun by a far older and darker hand. \nThis is a story of survival becoming resistance. Of children with soot-stained faces growing into heroes. \nCampaign Details:\nDM: Matt\nPlayer Requirements: Bring a level 1 character to session-0 using the D&D 5.5e (2024) rules or we will generate level 1 characters for those who do not have one. Use fixed HP and attributes standard array/point buy system.\nDifficulty: Beginner/Intermediate\nSession Timeline: Thursdays starting June 4 (session-0): 6/25\, 7/2\, 7/9\, 7/16\, 7/23\, 7/30. Each session represents a summer snapshot over many years.  Characters will level-up after each session (including session-0).\nTime: 5:00 – 9:00 PM\nCost: $180.00 \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
