Hark adventurers! It's Chupacabracon this weekend (May 17-19), and we’re putting the call out for any brave souls willing to test their might and mettle against the macabre forces that threaten the peace and sanity of the Forgotten Realms. Check out our D&D Adventurers League Events Schedule!

Adventurers League allows you to create a character at levels 1 or 5, and we’ll have pre-generated characters available!

Here's a taste of what's going down:

• New to D&D 5e or Adventurers League? A little rusty? Check out our beginner-friendly adventures: “The Peculiar Case of the Selptan Felines” & the two-part adventure under Thentia (“Beneath the Surface/Those That Dwell Beneath” & “The Dreaming Relic”).
• This is the year of eldritch horrors, can you expose the shadowy entities stirring in the dark cracks of reality, hatching sinister plots? And, once you do, can you end them once and for all? You’re certainly welcome to try:
  • Shelter from a sudden storm in the very normal hamlet in “Vacant”
  • Investigate the mining village that has suddenly gone silent in “The Only Way To Be Sure”
  • Get to the bottom of that nagging feeling in the back of your mind that lately something just isn’t right in “The Hystero”
  • Face the source of the foul taint that has begun permeating the planes; face whatever lurks beyond “The Rifts of Madness”
• Looking for something of a more lighthearted nature? Celebrate the Wild Monster Capture Festival! Tame wild monsters and team up with them in honorable combat in “To Be the Very Best.”
• Want the best of both worlds? Infiltrate the gruesome menagerie that a mind flayer mastermind has called into conference by embracing “The Monster Within” yourself.
• You can also follow a cohesive story line over several game sessions. Check out the Bleeding Gate Trilogy (for characters lvs. 5-10) or the Dreamers Trilogy (for characters lvs. 11-16)! Unearth the truth behind recent disappearances in the city of Emudomier or around the rebuilding Phlan, respectively. (Each module can also be played as a stand-alone adventure).
• Finally, if you’re an AL veteran looking for some of that elusive Tier 4 play, check out “A Convergence of Gods.”

You can purchase a weekend badge or day pass to the convention through our website or on site at the registration desk.

We're a nonprofit, and proceeds benefit the Extra Life Foundation. We wholeheartedly appreciate your support!

My husband and I are newish to San Antonio and looking for local WoW group that does things in person as well as in game. Anything like that here?

Good Morning,

I am a teacher in San Antonio that also works as a representative for the nonprofit CIEE.

We are a foreign exchange non profit and I am currently looking for a host family for 16 year old Alejandro from Spain. He will be arriving in San Antonio in August of 2024 and staying through the school year (May 2025). He is really into video games and soccer. He also loves basketball and travel. I have been having a hard time finding a family for him since many people view video games and techy hobbies negatively in teens.

Do you know anyone who would make a good host family for him? Our organization would happily pay a referral fee of $500 to you if we can successfully match him with a family that you recommend in the form of a check to your mailing address.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I not only work with the organization but also host students myself. I've included a graphic so you can see a little bit more about Alejandro. He is very social and will be a great host student. Let me know if you have questions about Alejandro or our program. I am a host mom myself to a boy from Germany so I can answer any questions you have about the impact of hosting a student on your household or lifestyle.

Hi my name is Chay Comas and I keep record of tabletop gaming opportunities, clubs, events, and community networks in Central Texas and publish them into a tidy newsletter that I call Central Texas Game Community

Excerpt

Seeing as the holiday season is over now, everyone is probably looking to get their game group schedule started back up, or find a gaming group to get started with finally after hearing about it from your brother in law non stop over Christmas.

So I’m packing into this everything you need to connect with gamers near you, some exciting announcements, and maybe even some hints at what 2024 has in store later this year.

So if you're a gamer, or you've been interested in Dungeons & Dragons, Pokemon, Warhammer, or another tabletop game, this is your portal.

Happy gaming

Whatsup everyone! I've been doing this for roughly a year. I just recently made a business page & am trying to get my name out there! Im located in San Marcos but give discounts to anyone who travels long distances for my services. Most repairs are done same day. Please reach out with any questions you may have.

I don't know if this is the right place but I'm looking for more of a gaming community in SA. Since I moved here I haven't found many gamers. I'm open to many games but ultimately looking for people to play survival crafting games (Ark, Conan, 7 Days to Die), or co-op shooters like Back 4 Blood. I'm also looking for people to join for board game nights with my roommates. We're all really chill and like getting to know new people. We're all between the ages of 25 and 30.

That most can’t solve dm me here for repairs $35 per repair :)

Hey everyone, we are now offering Parents Night Out on Fridays! Let's Game San Antonio! #xpleaguenwsanantonio #sanantonio #parentsnightout #gaming

Looking for someone locally who can repair my modded original Xbox. If you know anyone please drop their info. Thank you.🙏

We love that we got to partner with Roadrunner Gaming to make sure they had a successful LANsgiving fundraiser to help those in need. And the Gamers LOVE the top-end gaming rigs and cool XP League merch 😎

Hey everyone!

I'm looking for a co-host or guests for my upcoming podcast that focuses on gaming, anime, movies, shows, and pop culture.

Here's the description:

The Geek Observer Podcast dives deep into the realms of gaming, discussing the latest releases, games we're currently playing, hidden gems, and nostalgic classics. We explore the expansive worlds of anime, discussing the most recent series, sharing recommendations and series we love, and even chatting about manga we're reading.

But that's not all! We also bring you the latest news from the world of movies and shows and share our opinions and recommendations. From superheroes to sci-fi, fantasy to horror, we've got you covered.

Every episode also features an AI assisted trivia/game segment! We challenge our knowledge of characters, series, stories, and worlds from games, anime, shows, or movies. This segment brings even more fun to each episode.

Are you a passionate geek who wants to share your insights, experiences, or expertise? We're always on the lookout for dynamic and enthusiastic local guests with potential for a recurring co-host spot, to join in on this geeky adventure. Whether you're a seasoned gamer, an anime connoisseur, a movie critic, or a pop culture expert, we'd love to have you on board.

If you're interested, I'd love to hear from you! You can reply here, DM me, or fill out the co-host or guest application on our website here: https://geekobserver.com/podcast/

Is there a good place to organize lan parties? I have a couple old school games and thinking about getting a network switch.

Looking for TTRPG players in SA.

Hey there! I’m Jake, a GM in the stone oak area and I run in person and online games with a focus on more storytelling and roleplay situations and less on combat. I don’t run any dungeons and dragons but if you are interested in joining up to play other types of games please reply here or send me a PM me for details ! I’m looking to run games at Knight Watch games on Blanco sometime on weeknights. The systems I’m considering are like Index Card RPG, Sci-fi games, non-dnd fantasy, Warhammer fantasy RPGs, savage worlds, and others. If you are new that’s totally okay, I’m down to teach! The aim is for newbies to be able to pick it up quick and start playing fast with not too many rules to fuss with. Just bring dice! Reach out for questions and all are welcome as long as you’re 18 or older. LGBTQ friendly.
