RE-ROLL: D&D / D20
CHARACTER CREATION PARTY!
(Ages 10-17)
Before there was Azeroth, there were dungeons, dragons, dice and paper! In this first session of old-school gaming fun we'll roll characters, talk about what kind of campaign we want to play, and of course, eat snacks! Will you go for the might of a fantasy warrior, the stealth of a ninja, or is a high-tech strategist more your speed? Whether you've tried classic dice-and-paper RPGs or just want to see where it all started, bring a friend and your imagination. Let us know if you are coming: Call (512) 974-7341 to RSVP with your name and number.
Spicewood Springs Branch, 8637 Spicewood Springs Rd., Austin, TX 78759
Saturday, January 19, 1:00-4:00 p.m.
KIDS IN SPACE!
An Evening of Astronomy at the Austin Public Library

Bring your curiosity and starry wonder for all this and more. This is an RSVP parent-child event for ages 8 and up. To RSVP, call (512) 974-7341 and leave your name, the names of the parent and child attending, and contact number. +1 friend per group is accepted. Please mention that the RSVP is for Kids in Space!
