Career Center at East 38th Street 1:00pm - 4:00pm East 38th Street Branch Made possible by Office of Lawrence Township Trustee Steve Talley through a grant to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation. Play and Learn Dungeons & Dragons for Adults 1:00pm - 4:30pm Spades Park Branch This is a learn-as-you-play (and learn to DM!) for Dungeons & Dragons, and other tabletop role-playing games. Experienced players are welcome, too, of course, in fact we'll have a couple experienced players in each session, to help guide new folks. The adventures we play will be independent, one-session adventures with a very loosely interconnected narrative, so a new player can join at any time. There will be eight spots available per session. Pre-created characters will be available so new players can jump right in, but you'll also get an opportunity to learn to create a character. If you are an experienced player, you're welcome to bring an existing character, but you may be asked to adjust their level to match the adventure. D&D is a creative, social, interactive storytelling tool fueled by imagination and the occasional roll of some dice. It's fun, engaging, but can definitely be daunting to break into as a new player. That's what we're here for! Hope to see you at the table! Game Night at East Washington 2:00pm - 4:00pm East Washington Branch A fun night of board games at the East Washington Library.
