Dungeons & DRAGons One-Shot Tournament

Adults of all ages are invited to join us for this joyful, action-packed one-shot event. This is your chance to dream up and dress up as your character... and have them enter the lists against other characters! In a bracket-style tournament, players will face off in eight-minute rounds until a champion is crowned. Participants are welcome and encouraged to cosplay as their character (but not required). Drag, much like D&D, is all about creativity and self-expression. Love drag? Love cosplay? Love D&D? Then this program is for you! Come dressed with a lot or a little detail, or just come dressed as yourself. However you come, this is an inclusive space! All D&D experience levels welcome.

• At the start of the first round fights, each character will get their moment in the spotlight. The MC will introduce each character with a brief bio while they show of their outfit (if desired).
• Once characters are knocked out of the tourney, they may vote for their favorites in the preceding bracket.
• Prizes for both the champion and the player who most accurately predicts the final outcome.

For characters - we will follow D&D 5E rules (2014 and 2024 are both valid; all rounds that don't end in TKOs before the time is up will be judged by proportionately remaining hit points (so a ratio rather than a raw number). 

• If you bring your own, all races & classes are welcome, including homebrew. Level five and no items beyond starting items allowed.
  
• If you need help making a character sheet, you will be contacted for more info so you can get a premade character sheet.
• All players, please bring a 3-5 sentence bio for your character's intro.

And remember, this is to have fun, so please focus on making a character you want to play over a character with stats that will dominate. The DM reserves the right to make all final calls. Questions? Email [email protected].

This program is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Friends of the Thomas Crane Public Library. To find out more about their work and how you can get involved, visit the Friends of the Library webpage.
