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.
