TAP-Sea: Dungeons & Dragons // Sunless Citadel

It’s time for TAP-Seattle’s first ever Dungeons & Dragons campaign that will run multiple sessions. We’ll be running the Sunless Citadel, players will level up quickly from 1 to 5 over the course of the campaign. This campaign will meet every other week. New players are welcome but please attend a prior session first. Spectators welcome as well.

Sunless Citadel Description
Long ago, a great fortress built by a cult of the dragon Ashardalon sank into the earth in a forgotten cataclysm. Its ruins became known as the Sunless Citadel, and over the centuries numerous creatures made this place their home.

Twelve years ago, the druid Belak the Outcast discovered the Twilight Grove in the citadels depths. There he found the Gulthias Tree, grown from a wooden stake once used to slay an ancient vampire, and from which sprouts supernatural fruit known to cure any disease.

One month ago, four adventurers from the nearby town of Oakhurst ventured into the Sunken Citadel searching for the origin of the magical fruit. They never returned. It is up to you now, to find what is lost.

TAP-Sea: It’s time to talk about race [virtual discussion]
Sep 9 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
TAP-Sea: It's time to talk about race [virtual discussion]

We are inviting you to an engaging three-session discussion series that centers around identity, race, and community engagement. Why? We hope to create an open conversation that normalizes conversations about the recent protests. In the first session, we will start with your stories, thoughts, experience and feelings. Then we will have a deeper discussion into what systemic racial structure means and how it impacts us differently. Finally, the last session will conclude with a discussion on actions and individual commitments that we can make.

RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tap-sea-its-time-to-talk-about-race-virtual-discussion-tickets-117477477297

We will follow these ground rules in every discussion:
1. Listen for understanding and with empathy
2. Allow everyone a chance to speak
3. Be kind and brave
4. Use “yes, and…” and “I” statements (I feel…I experienced…)
5. Criticize ideas, not individuals and keep the focus on the conversation
6. No fixing or correcting
7. Respect the silence that comes with thinking, learning, and processing
8. Avoid assumptions about others and recognize that not all values align
9. Lean into discomfort
10. Expect that we will leave/end with session with unanswered questions
11. Have fun!
12. And other rules that the group suggests

Discussion session dates:
Wed, 9/9, 10/7 and 10/28

If you are ready to break the silence and wanting to listen and share, please RSVP with Eventbrite. We will send the Zoom link to registered participants prior to the event. If you are not ready to have a conversation, it is okay too. We will keep this conversation going, and hope to see you soon.
