D&D 5e Embark on an epic adventure in a D&D session! Experience the excitement while learning the ropes of this popular immersive tabletop role playing game.
Vampire: The Masquerade STARTS AT 12:30 Vampire: The Masquerade is the original and ultimate roleplaying game of personal and political horror. You are a vampire, struggling for survival, supremacy, and your own fading humanity—afraid of what you are capable of, and fearful of the inhuman conspiracies that surround you.
Paranoia As a Troubleshooter, you are a member of Alpha Complex’s most expendable elite force. Tasked with finding trouble and shooting it, you will be hunting mutants, terrorists, traitors, [CLASSIFIED], secret societies, renegade bots, and DAIVs, which are [REDACTED]. You’ll save Alpha Complex from its greatest threat, unless you accidentally become Alpha Complex’s greatest threat.
Star Wars: Edge of the Empire It is a period of unrest and opportunity in the galaxy. The Galactic Empire struggles to maintain control in the midst of civil war. On the desert world of TATOOINE, a few renegades have run afoul of a local crime boss TEEMO THE HUTT. Trapped in the tiny spaceport of Mos Shuuta, the renegades have no choice but to steal a starship and flee Teemo’s forces.

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)

JTP Sian: Final Stand
SITUATION
Ruins of Forbidden City 19 September 3070
Though most of the campaign for Sian had hit a stalemate, the Word of Blake was making progress on one front: the push through the heavily damaged Forbidden City to the remains of the Celestial Palace. Spread out from various diversionary raids, the remaining defenders were outnumbered, forcing several command-level officers to take to the field. Even Sun-Tzu Liao’s Emperor was sighted alongside Naomi Centrella’s Cataphract on the defensive line.
GAME SETUP
Recommended Terrain: Forest, Light Urban, Training Grounds
Attacker (600PV + 150PV Reinforcements)
Recommended Forces: Seventeenth Division, Twenty-fourth Division, Dragon’s Breath.

Defender (600PV + 150PV Reinforcements)
Recommended Forces: Third Canopian Fusiliers, Red Lancers, Death Commandos
Each side selects a BattleMech from their primary force to be their designated command unit.
OBJECTIVES
1. Headhunting! The designated opposing commander is De-
stroyed (not Crippled or Withdrawn). (Reward: 800)
2. Forced March: The commander exits off the opposing edge.
(Reward: 400)
3. No Mercy. Destroy or Cripple all of the opposition’s forces.
(Reward: 400)
The game ends when one side has no more units on the table.

SPECIAL RULES
The following rules are in effect for this track:
No Holds Barred
As long as the designated command unit is present, no friendly unit may be forced to withdraw.
Relief Forces
In a battle deemed so important, both sides find themselves being reinforced by various independent forces as commanders desperately try to sway the outcome.
Starting on Turn 3, each side rolls 2d6 before the Initiative Phase. On a 10+, that side receives reinforcements equal to 25 percent of their original force. These reinforcements may be banked for future entrance into the battle. Once reinforcements are rolled as available, no more rolls are made. For every turn after Turn 3, add +1 to the rolled result.
Units may enter one at a time, in small groups or all at once. Reinforcements enter at the end of the movement phase, starting in the turn the reinforcements roll passes. They may walk in from their home edge or drop in using the Low-Altitude Drop rules.
Optional Rules:
Shielding Movement (ASCE 172)
Low-Altitude Drops (ASCE 160)
Forced Withdrawal (ASCE 126)
Home Rules:
Multiple Attack Rolls
AFTERMATH
The sudden appearance of the Blackwind Lancers turned the tide of the campaign, its CO ultimately sacrificing himself and the unit to protect the Chancellor from falling to Blakist guns as his Yu Huang blocked much of the weapons fire directed at the ruler of the Confederation. This battle was the peak of the First Battle of Sian; the Word of Blake threw the majority of their assets into one hasty push that failed—and would have been futile even if it succeeded. It was discovered later on that one of Sun-Tzu’s bodyguards was piloting his Emperor while the Chancellor himself was in a hidden bunker at another location

Joe Hill’s Rain

by Joe Hill, David M. Booher, Zoe Thorogood

On a seemingly normal August day in Boulder, Colorado, the skies are clear and Honeysuckle Speck couldn’t be happier. She’s finally moving in with her girlfriend Yolanda. But their world is literally torn apart when dark clouds roll in and release a downpour of nailsï¿9;splinters of bright crystal that shred the skin of anyone not safely under cover.

RAIN makes vivid this escalating apocalyptic event, as the deluge of nails spreads across the country and around the world, threatening everything young lovers Honeysuckle and Yolanda hold dear.
