*MUST BE LOCATED IN HOUSTON, TEXAS AS THIS GAME WILL FEATURE ALL PHYSICAL SCENES FOR FUN :D*

Hosting and Dungeon Master looking for a player group age 18+ for a Dark Sun 2E Modified campaign on Weekends Mornings/Afternoons/Evenings.

I will be using a ready made campaign as inspiration, and will be well read on the world of Athas.

A little about me: I'm Sean, 22, Dungeon Master, Looking for a player group of about 4-6 players. I only have 1 confirmed so we have plenty of space.Looking to limit the campaign to about 8-10 sessions. We can continue the story if we all enjoy each other and my campaign isn't too bad lol.

If you are interested you please PM me!

House Rules:

1. Don't do anything you wouldn't want a stranger doing in your home. Let's keep ourselves to the game room, the bathroom, the kitchen and the patio.
2. Be cool to your DM
3. Be cool to your fellow players, Absolutely zero political/hateful/rude dialogue. Strictly nerd stuff/regular life, let's keep our game happy and healthy
4. Be enthusiastic about the RP and your character
5. There will be absolutely ZERO rules regarding the imagination. If you were in that situation IRL with your equipment and can think it, you can roll for it. It just may be difficult just like real life. But I absolutely encourage creative problem solving, and am not strict on out of the box ways to complete my challenges.
6. Focus on enjoying yourself, I will make our game challenging, but I will not have you removed from play for extended periods of time. At worst your character dies, and I will show you your options. You will be back to rolling dice in no time.
7. Bring your own snacks/drinks (Alcohol allowed, no liquor)
8. No Drugs
9. *Please read up on the world of Athas and 2e ADnD, Can provide some PDF materials as well as just a general TLDR at the bottom of this post if you've never heard of it
10. No +1 Non-Player persons besides spouses and certain exceptions (I just wanna keep it a pretty small and chill vibe)
11. Bring your own Dice
12. **A miniature WILL be required for this game. This will be my first game of my life where I go all out on the terrain and all that, So please purchase and bring your own miniature of a 32mm base or comparable size. If you are really really into the dark sun setting, I am happy to buy you a miniature within $10-$20.
13. DM has final say on homebrew rules things such as; certain special quest items, canon events, player revives. Like I said I am very fair, I promise this won't be a game where you're just dead for all of session 1 or something. However I am looking to tell a very particular story based on the homemade scenes I make.
14. Please be ON TIME and only join the group if you know that you will have a consistent weekend evening to attend a session. Just want to make sure nobody is left out of our game, that's never fun 
15. You may be removed if you make the game un-fun for your fellow players, or blatantly disrespect house rules.

*This will be a dark sun setting through and through, with all canon elements. Provided your character doesn't conflict with Dark Sun canon, I am not really strict on any unnecessary game limitations (i.e. I have a custom damage and weapon and armor system that is modified onto 2E ADnD). We will address issues as they come up. Again our only rule about this is Dark Sun Canon.

TLDR Dark Sun Setting: Mad Max but middle earth, super sick babes in warrior fits, Dune vibes, Deserts, Destruction, Apocalypse, Soulslike, Dark Fantasy, GrimDark. If this is your thing and haven't tried it, I really believe you will enjoy it.**Miniature rules are pretty loose, I know they can be hard to obtain, as long as they mostly match your class, and aesthetically match your race (i.e. as best as you could find for a half-giant, mul, or thri-kreen character). Again if you are super committed to a dark sun campaign with all physical scenes; I will happily buy you a miniature and let you come over and paint it. I will show you some tips in case you have never done it before.

Special Note: If you are *very* interested and you are a beginner, I am happy to teach you how to play. But I do recommend you play a campaign or two of 5e just so you can get a feel for the general premise of DnD first. Our campaign will be using a modified version of 2e ADnD, which is a very different ruleset. In addition Dark Sun is a brutal campaign setting where permanent character deaths are to be EXPECTED. Do not worry, this does not take you out of the game, there are systems to accommodate these gameplay themes. If you are a beginner, please consider this when thinking if my campaign is the right first ever DnD game for you.

If we have a successful start to finish campaign, and you weren't able to join due to the game being full; have no fear! I absolutely plan on hosting the Dark Sun setting consistently for the foreseeable future.

For now in the coming weeks expect only character creation, setting briefing, and scheduling sessions through discord or text.I am still in the process of writing my campaign, and building all of my scenes. If you have any terrain you'd like to help provide for the session that would be welcomed. We can discuss the logistics of all that.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Hi,

I game on Friday nights, 8:00-whenever, in League City (near Kemah). I do board games biweekly. I’d like to start doing RPGs the other days. Is anybody in the area and interested in getting together?

My board game group plays many different kinds of board games, though I prefer Amerithrash style games myself. As for RPGs, I’ve played and run gobs and gobs of them. I prefer medium-crunch games, not story games.

I hope to hear from you. Have a great day!

Planning to run a Call of Cthulhu game soon but don’t have the space to host at my apartment. Any suggestions for public places in or near the north central area to run a game?

Hi! I’m looking for a board game group in the Houston/Katy area, any recommendations or people looking to have someone join them?

Anyone play/ know of any places I can play dbs card game? I use to go to lotus gaming shop but they closed down so I don’t have a place to go rn

I found out that people meet up at Asgard games in Houston on Sundays. Anybody up for some games rather than watch football?

Does anyone know of any gaming/hobby shops with 3D printers that will print stuff for you? I came across a cool shop in San Antonio that will print Hero Forge minis for $7 and was curious if anything of the sort exists in Houston.

I recently was gifted a bunch of the sets for the AGOT LCG and I'd really like to find somebody or a group that plays to get into the game. I'm located in Katy but don't mind driving. Anybody out there?

Hi guys,

Last time I played board games I saw you have such a cool cardbox with the community information on the table.

• Could you share with me an image of it?
• May I ask you how did you print it?

Thank you

Hey everybody! Glad to find this reddit thread. I'm moving to Houston this summer from Oregon. I do t know anything about or anybody in Houston, but I know that I'll need new boardgamer friends. So, that's all! Any info about the scene/stores/spots appreciated. Here in the pacific northwest we have a few boardgame cafes where they have a huge library of games and food and beer. Y'all got those?

I have a few decks of DC Deck Building and am hoping to find a regular group to play with. I just recently went to Tea+Victory and really like it and would love to have a regular group to play through my various decks, expansion packs, crossover packs and eventually a Rebirth campaign.
