About the adventure
Come and visit Nix's Tavern! Bring a character at any level for games of chance, revelry, role play, and perhaps a random battle! A monthly drop in gathering held on Final Fridays (until OCT - DEC which will run on SECOND FRIDAYS due to holidays) with a special focus on Role Play practice. These games will benefit mutual aid organizations. Come and go as you need throughout the hours, as if you're arriving at a Tavern. Bring your party or come on your own! Read through for safety boundaries. Since our first Tavern game in 2025, we have donated over $3,200 between ourselves and matching funds, $10 at a time. Come join us in making a difference in our world while having some fun shenanigans!

About me
I love telling collaborative stories. It is the best feeling in the world. To improvise imaginative stories together where we can problem solve, overcome obstacles, choose hope, and carve a better reality together? It is my deep and abiding joy. Storytelling is an ancient tradition and it is a gift to share this skill with others. I began GM'ing after I finished my doctoral work in storytelling. Adding my theatre training alongside of my decades of community building, these three threads spin together to create the warp of our story's tapestry. I love to teach, guide, and encourage. I listen, watch, and celebrate communal and cooperative story telling. I love to nurture, cajole, and challenge a group of people towards a common goal. To find your story threads, grab onto them, and weave them into a cohesive tapestry that we can each remember with satisfaction. Whether we choose Dungeons and Dragons 5e, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, a simple one page rule set, or something yet to be released - together we will use the mechanics of the system and our imaginations to create something beautiful.

Creating your character
Bring a D&D 5e character of any level to the Tavern. NOTE: If you would like to bring a Thirsty Sword Lesbian Playbook, Daggerheart character, or a character you have built from Legend in the Mist you are welcome to do this, as well! Just inform me ahead so I can prep! Characters must be suitable to play with minors in attendance or within earshot. If you would like to receive a prebuilt character please let me know ahead of time in Discord! I can certainly help you out but we'll need to have a little chat first. I am able to honor 2014 or 2024 character builds. I will be defaulting to 2024 5e base rules for encounters.

What Nix brings to the table
Nix's Table Discord Server I am a storytelling DM that relies on my theatre background to help bring things to life. I utilize voices and accents as well as posture and facial expression to give unique qualities to different NPC's. I am a patient teacher and have worked with a wide variety of people throughout my life. It is a joy to create a fun and playful environment for growth and experimentation.

If you use your action to self administer during combat the value is automatically max. Flanking - Will be decided together the first time it comes up in game if it requires across or next to.

How Nix creates a safe table
We will establish safety words for the entire event at the beginning and folks will be reminded of them throughout. As this will be a drop in with various community members therefore the following topics will be observed as hard lines and will not be included in any role play or featured in any encounter: Homophobia, Transphobia, Gaslighting, Sexual Abuse/Assault of any kind, Police Violence, Genocide, Torture to Children or Animals I observe the right to add to this list at any time without explanation or justification. If you have a particular hard line you would also like included in game play when you register for the event, please let me know in Discord chats. I will be certain to add it to the list and keep us all safe in our fun together.
