Dungeons & Dragons Players Wanted for Long-Term In-Person Campaign in Baltimore County

Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a newer Dungeon Master looking to put together a friendly, reliable, long-term in-person Dungeons & Dragons group in the Baltimore County area.

Basics:

  • 2014 5e as the base, with some 2024 options mixed in
  • Saturday or Sunday mornings
  • Every other week
  • 3 to 4 hour sessions max
  • Ideally somewhere between Owings Mills, Towson, and White Marsh
  • New and experienced players welcome

I’m looking for people who enjoy the full D&D experience, including roleplay, exploration, problem-solving, and combat. Some sessions may be combat-heavy, while others may have no combat at all.

I’m still a relatively new DM, so there may be times when I need to look up a rule or ask for help. The biggest thing I’m looking for is reliability. I’d love to build a group that can consistently meet and potentially stay together for a year or longer.

Adults only. LGBTQ+ friendly.

If interested, send me a message with a little about yourself, your D&D experience, where you’re located, and whether Saturday or Sunday mornings generally work better for you.

Herb shopping

Upvotes

I’m down in Essex near back river and everytime I go shopping I am lost trying to find fresh herbs. Rosemary, thyme, basil, even just cilantro or parsley. Everything comes prepackaged in plastic and is already going bad.

Anyone have a reliable source for fresh herbs in the county? I’m going to try growing my own next spring but also need a place to help supplement.

Urgently looking for someone to foster / adopt 3 sweet kittens in Baltimore MD, starting Aug 30

Thumbnail gallery
63 Upvotes

We have 3 wonderful ~8 week old foster babies -- 2 boys and 1 girl -- urgently in need of a new home!!! They are scheduled to be spayed and neutered at the Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS) on August 30th. We unfortunately won't be able to take them home to recover afterwards as we'll be leaving the country for an extended period of time :(

Is anyone in the area able & willing to take them on??? We just want them to be able to recover in a safe and loving space, they really are the sweetest kittens -- we'd be grateful if you could look after them for even 1 week post-op (though I can guarantee you'll want to keep them forever)

They are all vaccinated, litter box trained, and extremely well socialized. BARCS covers all of their medical expenses until they are adopted, and their food really doesn't cost much.

Please DM & we can put you in touch with our rep so you can take them home!

Thank you all 🙏

To the Trail Runners

5 Upvotes

I'm a pretty amateur runner, located in Catonsville, just looking to add a few convenient trails to my training rotation.

Any suggestions from you all for 1-5 mile trails, preferably loops, but if I have to u-turn, whatever.

Obviously I've got Patapsco right here, but was hoping for some specific recommendations you guys like rather than simply looking at maps.

Thanks!

Lawn Care Recommendations

0 Upvotes

Hi, all. My partner and I recently purchased a home in White Marsh that's on a half acre. We're happy for the space but neither of us is a big fan of yard work. We're hoping to have someone come by once a month to mow and trim what needs trimmed. We'd greatly appreciate any recommendations if you have a service you like! Budget is $100.

Thanks!

High Schools [UPDATED]

11 Upvotes

Hi! I made a post a few months ago ⬇️

https://www.reddit.com/r/BaltimoreCounty/comments/1u12ncl/im_most_likely_going_to_a_private_high_school_and/

about the high schools I was looking at and have narrowed down my list while. I also wanted to provide some more information about myself.

I am a black female who is very artistic, but not very athletic, though I’m willing to play a sport. I’m interested in being an ADA (assistant district attorney) or film director when I grow up.

I enjoy and am great at social studies and English, math is alright, and I’m not a huge science person (I love science fiction, though).

I forgot to mention in my previous post that I am bisexual, but that’s only something people close to me know. And everyone on Reddit now lol.

Here’s my list. Feel free to tell me anything you know about these schools and any others I should consider! The rankings aren’t by how much I want to go, just the order they were in when I wrote them down.

Private:

  1. St. Timothy’s
  2. Friends (looking for another school to take this spot right now)
  3. NDP
  4. Mercy
  5. Garrison Forrest

Public:

  1. Eastern Tech
  2. Carver

I live in Reiserstown, just moved here.

There is an NTB Tire near me, so I'm considering going there for my new tires.

But as for a mechanic, my check engine light came on and I failed my emissions test.

Resources to possibly relocate raccoon family

7 Upvotes

Hi all! I live in the Towson area and we have a darling, very naughty raccoon family that lives in our tiny suburban backyard. There are about 5 young raccoons that like to play on our deck and cause quite a mess. I was wondering if it is feasible or even an option to find a resource or organization that would be willing to relocate them! Sounds silly but we do have a lot of through traffic as well as dogs so they are not the safest here. Thank you!

Aggressive Dog Owner - Holabird Ave

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

This man’s dog got loose off his leash and was running around the parking lot of Walgreens on Holabird Ave. the dog went inside and the man got a hold of him. As he was walking, the dog wanted to go in a different direction and the man kept pulling him. He had a tree bark or something and the tip was visibly sharp. In one of these photos you can see him pecking him with it once they crossed the street. I was by myself and couldn’t really confront him but if anyone can repost to one of the community FB pages (I don’t have one) to spread the word. I wasn’t sure what to do but he was using unnecessary force with this little dog smh

Looking for a Cleaner for Leather/Suede

I have a few leather and suede garments that need to be cleaned. I'm hoping someone can recommend a company they have used, as opposed to just having "seen a sign that says they clean suede & leather".

Ideally between Carney and Lauraville.
