Gameplay and Rules

• Ruleset: We will be using the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition ruleset. Familiarity with the rules is helpful, but the DM will lead all players through the process.
• Phones and Distractions: To maintain immersion and game flow, please minimize the use of electronic devices during gameplay.
• Snacks and Drinks: You are welcome to bring snacks and drinks. However, please choose items that are not overly messy or strongly scented (to respect the library space and other gamers). All players are expected to clean up their area entirely before leaving.
• Inclusivity and Respect: This game is committed to being an adult-only (18+), safe, and welcoming space for all players, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, background, race, or walk of life.
• Zero Tolerance: We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any form of harassment, discrimination, or disrespectful behavior. Players are expected to show courtesy and respect not only to the Dungeon Master but also to each and every member of the table.
• Conflict Resolution: If something in the game or at the table makes you uncomfortable, you are empowered and encouraged to speak up immediately. You may communicate your concern directly to the individual or quietly signal the DM for a private conversation. Our priority is your comfort and well-being.
