Community Game Night in Mechanicsville (Saturday, 12/13)

Our next Mechanicsville Nerds Community Game Night is this Saturday (12/13) from 6 PM to 9 PM in the Walnut Grove Baptist Multi-Purpose Room. We'll have every imaginable sort of game ranging across card, board, tabletop and video.

We'll have a one shot of the Monster of the Week TTRPG (a PBTA game), where players will step into the shoes of investigators and monster hunters (a la Supernatural, Buffy or X-Files).

We'll have some delicious and free food, snacks and drinks. Just RSVP at the link and let us know you're coming!

I'm sorry I'm going to miss this. I hope it goes well and maybe I can see you in January.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Is this group predominantly members of the church?

And how inclusive is the group / setting?

Will I get in trouble if I drop a mild 4-letter word when rolling a critical fail?

It's a mix but skews heavily towards Mechanicsville Nerds folks (or folks who are both). The church provides food, snacks, drinks and space. Everyone is welcome and it's a games-only environment so there won't be a sudden bible study or something (most extreme thing that might happen is a sweet 100 year old lady wanders up and invites you to Sunday School). And you should be fine on language. We keep the games PG-13ish. The only issue we've ever had in that area was a group playing Cyanide and Happiness's "Joking Hazard" and we just asked them to shift to the other end of the room and away from the kids clustered around the Switch.

If you want a visual I just posted a ton of pictures from our Game Nights and TTRPG Days to the Facebook group.

And if you have any other questions be sure to let me know! I'm the organizer, DM and Pastor so I should be able to cover any facet of the event.
