From Hollywood Moonlight Academy

🎲 Games & Thrones 🏰 Thursdays 👑

🌙 INVITATION TO MOONLIGHT ACADEMY 🌙 Dungeons & Dragons Campaign Who: Beginners and veteran players are equally welcome. The doors to the academy are opening—both in Hollywood and in the Forgotten Realms. You are formally invited to cross the threshold into a living story of survival, ancient magic, and cosmic defiance. 📖 The Legend So Far (Our Story Synopsis) Deep within the untamed Whispering Woods stands Moonlight Academy, a monolithic, forgotten fortress of ancient celestial magic. For centuries it lay in ruins, choked by briars and feared by the outside world. Today, two desperate fugitives have sought refuge within its hollow halls, bound by shared isolation: Vhaenyra Aelarys: A Drow (Dark Elf) Druid who fled the lethal, cutthroat politics of the Underdark. She has claimed the ruins as a sanctuary, using her nature magic to gently heal the stone and restore the academy to its former glory—a promised haven for outcasts. Leucis Therai: A queer Tiefling Cleric who narrowly escaped a horrific ritual sacrifice by his former coven. Betrayed by his lover, his desperate prayers at the castle gates awakened a dormant, divine moon deity within the ruins, transforming him into a vessel of radiant starlight. The world outside is closing in. Insular, paranoid local villagers view the Academy as a den of monsters and are preparing for war. Fraudulent local psychics are stirring up anti-magic panic. Meanwhile, lethal assassins from the Underdark and vengeful witches from the coven are tracking the duo’s magical signatures. Will Moonlight Academy rise to become a permanent stronghold for the marginalized, or will it be burned to the ground by fear and vengeance? That is up to you. 🔮 Choose Your Path: How You Can Join the Circle As a recurring campaign, players can drop in and out as their schedules allow. Moonlight Academy is actively looking for allies, refugees, and travelers to help fortify its walls. When creating a character, you can choose from three main thematic paths: 1. The Academy Refuges & Outcasts Like Vhaenyra and Leucis, your character is someone traditionally feared, misunderstood, or hunted by common society. You have fled your past and found safety behind the academy’s walls.Recommended Classes: Sorcerers, Warlock (seeking a break from a bad patron), Rogue, or Bard.Recommended Races: Tiefling, Drow, Orc, Changeling, or any lineage seeking a safe haven. 2. The Guardians of the Wild You are a local protector of the Whispering Woods, a rogue element from the nearby settlements, or a member of a local, secret coven. You see through the paranoia of the villagers and have chosen to ally with Vhaenyra to restore the natural balance and protection of the Academy. Recommended Classes: Druid, Ranger, Nature/Twilight Cleric, or Barbarian. Recommended Races: Wood Elf, Firbolg, Halfling, or Human. 3. The Redeemed & Detached Perhaps you were originally sent to spy on the academy, or you were an acolyte from Leucis's old coven who realized the leadership went too far. You have turned your back on your former masters to help defend the ruins from within. Recommended Classes: Fighter, Paladin (Oath of Devotion or Ancients), or Monk. Recommended Races: Any race aligned with a complicated backstory of redemption. ✨ How to Secure Your Seat at the Table Spaces at the gaming table are limited each week to ensure everyone gets a chance to shine. Character Creation: Start at Level 1. Use standard rules (5th Edition). If you need help building your character, arrive 30 minutes early and our Dungeon Master will help you weave your backstory directly into the fabric of Moonlight Academy. RSVP: Speak with the staff at the front counter, or reserve your spot for this week’s session. Bring your dice, your magic, and your resolve. Let’s build a sanctuary together. — 🎲 A witchcraft store hosting weekly tabletop board game nights alongside *Game of Thrones* screenings would look like a **deeply atmospheric, community-centric sensory experience** that seamlessly blends dark fantasy pop culture with real-world occult practices. Instead of a brightly lit, sterile game shop, the space would feel like a cozy, secretive tavern or an ancient castle solar. The Aesthetic and Spatial Layout The store must carefully balance retail space with active gathering areas, using lighting and layout to create distinct "zones." * **The Hearth & Screen:** A dedicated viewing lounge with a projector casting onto a blank wall or a tapestry frame. Seating consists of plush velvet couches, floor cushions, and faux-fur throws to mimic the Great Hall of Winterfell. * **The Gaming Tables:** Massive, dark wood tables illuminated by dim, warm overhead lighting or battery-operated amber candles so players can read card text without ruining the moody ambiance. * **The Retail Borders:** The perimeter remains a fully functioning shop. Bookcases filled with grimoires, herb jars, and crystals act as the literal backdrop for the games. Weekly Timeline & Event Schedule To maximize retail sales and keep the evening structured, the night should run on a tight, repeatable schedule. [ 5:30 PM ] Doors Open & Pre-Show Social (Tarot pulls, shopping discounts) [ 6:00 PM ] Game of Thrones: Episode 1 [ 7:00 PM ] Intermission & Thematic Ritual (Brief candle lighting or tea service) [ 7:15 PM ] Game of Thrones: Episode 2 [ 8:15 PM ] Tabletop Gaming Open Play Begins [ 10:30 PM] Event Wrap-up & Closing Thematic Integration: Blending Magic with Westeros To make this unique to a *witchcraft* store rather than a standard comic shop, the event should explicitly tie the show's lore to real-world esoteric practices. * **"House Allegiance" Tarot Readings:** Before the episodes start, a staff reader could offer quick, three-card pulls based on Westerosi houses (e.g., House Stark for survival/ancestors, House Targaryen for ambition/rebirth). * **Themed Ritual Intermissions:** During the 15-minute gap between episodes, the host could light a specific incense or a "Melisandre-inspired" flame ritual to clear the room's energy before the next story arc. * **The Potions Bar:** Serving specific loose-leaf tea blends or botanical mocktails during the screenings, such as a lavender-chamomile "Milk of the Poppy" for relaxation or a spicy ginger-hibiscus "Fire and Blood" brew. The Tabletop Game Selection The board games available after the show should mirror the themes of political intrigue, dark fantasy, prophecy, and witchcraft. * **Thematic Strategy Games:** Title selections like *Dune: Imperium*, *Oath*, or the official *Game of Thrones: The Board Game* for players who love intense faction betrayal and resource management. * **Occult & Modern Witchcraft Games:** Games like *Middara*, *Arkham Horror*, *Betrayal at House on the Hill*, or *The Grimm Forest* to lean heavily into monsters, spells, and gothic folklore. * **Social Deduction Games:** Faster, high-energy hidden-role games like *Blood on the Clocktower* or *Werewolves* (re-skinned to fit fantasy houses) that keep the entire room laughing and arguing together. Operational and Legal Considerations Running a public event involving copyrighted media and community gaming requires a few practical guidelines. * **Copyright and Licensing:** Showing *Game of Thrones* publicly for commercial gain can violate HBO's terms. To stay compliant, the store should frame the evening as a **free community club night** where no ticket is required to watch, while generating revenue through retail sales, game rentals, or the potions/tea bar. * **Aroma and Sensory Control:** Because board gamers need to concentrate and watch a screen, the store should swap out heavy, smoke-producing charcoal incense for subtle reed diffusers or wax melters so attendees don't leave with watery eyes. * **Noise Management:** Screenings require silence, while board games generate loud cheering and laughing. Keeping the schedule strictly divided (Screenings *then* Games) ensures the two activities never fight for acoustic dominance.

Indie RPG Game Night (Geeky Teas)

Tue, Jul 28, 1:00 AM

From Story Games LA

4.9

WHAT IS THIS EVENT? At **Indie RPG Night** we gather to play story games and independent role-playing games (RPGs). These games are similar to role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) but tend to be simpler to learn, and have more shared narrative control for all players. WHO IS THIS FOR? Any experience level is welcome, with no prior knowledge required. Almost all games are meant to be played in a single night (sometimes called *one-shots* or *episodic*), so no regular attendance is necessary. WHAT GAMES DO WE PLAY? We play games that allow us to come together to have a good time telling a story collaboratively. We do not generally play games with a win condition. Some games we play have a game master (GM) and players, similar to D&D. Other games are “GM-less” or "GM-ful", and have no game master, where the rules of the game have us share narrative authority so we all have similar control over the story. Some examples include: * Apocalypse World * Blades in the Dark * Dream Askew * Fiasco * For The Queen * The Quiet Year * Microscope WHAT GAMES DO WE AVOID? We avoid role-playing games that may require players to have prior knowledge of rules (which is often the case with RPGs such as D&D). Many of us love board and card games, however this is not the event for those games. Note that some story games have elements that may look like board and card games, however we play games that share our goal of coming together to collaboratively tell a story. Although some board games have narrative elements (such as Above and Below), or can be played in a narrative manner (such as Arkham Horror), these do not meet our criteria. If you have any doubts, please talk to one of the organizers. It is also important that games played conform to our Community Standards (https://bit.ly/StoryGamesLA-CommunityStandards). WHERE AND WHEN IS THE EVENT? Locations vary so check the meetup event for the current location. On this night we play at **Geeky Teas & Games** in Burbank. We plan to meet up starting at 6pm, and pitch games promptly at 6:30pm. The venue closes at 10pm. Games tend to normally last 2-4 hours. Note that Geeky Teas requires a $8 cover fee that you pay directly to them upon entry to the venue. HOW DO I ATTEND? If you plan on attending, please RSVP here. We have tables reserved but space may be limited, so we will prioritize people who RSVP if we end up having too many folks. We will try to accommodate everyone best as possible. If your plans change, please update your RSVP as early as possible so we have an accurate count. You should not need to bring anything with you, however always feel free to bring writing utensils, dice, note cards, and so on. WHAT ARE THE RULES? We try to provide an inclusive space, and do not tolerate harassment or prejudice of any kind, including that based on race, ethnicity, religion, gender, or disabilities. By attending and participating you are agreeing to abide by our Community Standards (https://bit.ly/StoryGamesLA-CommunityStandards). If you have any issues, please contact one of the meetup organizers at any time, either during the meetup or afterwards. We use the X-card and other RPG communication and safety tools, which we write about in our Community Standards document, and review when our events start. HOW CAN I RUN A GAME? If you are new to the group and the events, we ask that you play the first few times to get a feel for the games we play, and for the environment and our community. If have done so, and wish to run a game, please get in touch with the meetup organizers either at the event, or in the **Story Games LA** **Discord** ([https://discord.com/invite/qbPzyRYBQv](https://discord.com/invite/qbPzyRYBQv)). After doing so, you simply need to bring the materials needed to play: rules, printouts, notecards or blank paper, tokens, printouts, and so on. We may have some of these items, but may not have what you need. HOW CAN I BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY? The best place to participate with our community prior to or outside of the events is to join the **Story Games LA** **Discord** ([https://discord.com/invite/qbPzyRYBQv](https://discord.com/invite/qbPzyRYBQv)). This is also where we sometimes host our online events.

This is a monthly meetup at the Santa Monica Paper Hero's. This is a very casual event - show up, play games, and meet people. I set this to start after the store opens and runs for a few hours, but if you would like to coordinate to play later, feel free to use the discussion below to organize. I am always looking for hosts for this event who are happy to bring games, teach new folks, and be a representative for the meetup. Please leave a message in the discussion if you would like to volunteer, and I will help set you up!
