When do we play?

Wednesdays, 7-9pm
at Comic Quest (http://comicquest.org/)

How does this work?

Hello! We play D&D 5e on Wednesday nights, 7-9 pm, in-person at Comic Quest in Lake Forest. If you are looking to join one of CQ’s Wednesday night D&D 5e groups, here’s what you need to know.
First, join our Discord Server, which is the primary way that we organize and discuss regularly scheduled D&D groups and events. ** Once there, please look at Start Here for general information. Link to our Discord server: https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD
No experience with D&D is required, but different tables and DMs may have preferences. If you are interested in learning how to play there are “learn to play” sessions approximately once a month.
Our games are frequently full. Whether there is room at any given table changes week to week, so you have to post a message on the channel of any table you think you might be interested in to see if there are currently openings, as priority goes to regularly attending players. Some tables have PINNED information about their campaigns (click on the push-pin looking icon on the top ribbon of each campaign). Also, we often run a 1-shot table which is open to new players.
Facebook Group
What do I need to play?
Please check in with the DM of the table/game you are joining for these details, but some helpful items:

A character sheet (either your own or the pre-generated)
A writing utensil (Pencil, Pen)
Appropriate dice for your character
Appropriate source material for your character (basic book, Players Handbook, ability cards, whatever floats your boat)
A miniature (optional, but helpful)

We also have a Discord server: https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD](https://discord.gg/vj2xcfD?fbclid=IwAR3KLXW32PY__0KkFJjOwkw0HKpYYQMb-Cgr5HUSvDvXbl-SMZOmS0uaKXo)

Book Club - Zatanna Bring Down The House
2025-09-13 12:00 - 13:00 (Asia/Shanghai)
Each month we select a notable graphic novel for the book club. It is 25% Off to everyone all month. At the end of the month we meet to discuss.
This month’s selection is
Zatanna, Bring Down the House
Writer Mariko Tamaki, iIllustrated by Javier Rodriguez
Meeting to discuss Sept 13th. Noon.

After a deadly mistake left her terrified of her own abilities, Zatanna found a home for herself in Las Vegas performing a free show full of sleight-of-hand and cheap card tricks at the crappiest casino on the strip. It’s not exactly glamourous—or heroic—but it sure beats the risk of dabbling in real magic! That is, until a mysterious stranger plunges Zatanna’s world into chaos, dredging up old wounds and cracking open an inter-dimensional rift in the process!
Now, Zatanna will have to face her fears and embrace her powers whether she wants to or not! But will the magic words do the trick, or will it all collapse around her like a house of cards?

Dungeons & Dragons - Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set
2025-09-16
Release
Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set Releases September 16, 2025 (mass release)

It only makes sense, given all the changes 5e has seen with the core rule updates, that a new starter set would be on the horizon. In September 2025, fans return to the Borderlands in an all-new adventure exploring a classic setting. This official return to the Keep on the Borderlands may seem familiar to many, but the adventure itself is set years after the original. That means time will have passed, offering plenty to discover and explore, even for those who have already visited this world-setting.
One of the primary goals for WotC with the recent changes has been an effort to make it easier than ever for players old and new to pick up the game and start playing as quickly as possible. The Heroes of the Borderland Starter Set will do that in so many ways, including a brand-new way to easily build characters using a unique tile system that demonstrates to new players how exciting it can be to build a character and make it their own right from the start. Previous starter sets came with pre-built characters, and while this definitely made it easy to launch into a game, players weren’t given much choice about the kind of characters they wanted to play. Now, they will be able to do that without delving too deeply into character creation concepts that might feel intimidating to brand-new players experiencing the game for the first time.
This starter set is also designed to demonstrate to players just how easy it is to DM and run a game. DMing can be intimidating to new players, but when it comes down to it, DMs are one of the required components for play. Showing everyone how simple the process can be will definitely open up more opportunities for people to enjoy the game, perhaps even taking turns sharing the DM responsibilities through shorter adventures that allow everyone at the table a chance to explore as characters or take lead on guiding the adventurers forward.

Battletech: Mercenary Chaos Campaign
Do you have what it takes to grow a small merc unit into more? Come join us for a Mercenary Campaign! We’ll get a head to head campaign set up that’ll let you show off how well you can manage a merc unit! You decide if you want to risk a higher repair bill to secure the win, or live to fight another day.
We’ll be following what’s set in the new Battletech Mercenaries boxed set’s rulebook with a Scale 1 (up to 3000BV) force set in the ilClan era.

Sign up at https://generic.longshanks.org/event/26880/

Build a force with at least one Battlemech available to mercenaries in the ilClan era. You can have up to two mechs, with skills of gunnery 4 and piloting 5, adding up to a total of 3000 BV
The Master Unit List has all units available listed here. Or you can just grab a mech or record sheet you already have. http://www.masterunitlist.info/Era/FactionEraDetails…

Spend two skill advancements: improve one skill of each pilot or improve both skills of one pilot. You cannot improve a single skill twice.
Negotiate your first contract (complete the contract form), grab an opponent, and head into your first track!
Supplement your force with unique Battlefield Support Assets or Strikes.
Play the game per the objective (random, via dice roll)
We’ll help you record the aftermath and track your Warchest.

Not sure what that means? No problem, we’d love to teach you!

Beginner friendly; we can provide materials if you don’t have them; feel free to show off your awesome paint jobs.
