Weekend Warriors -Teen Tabletop RPG Club

The Douglas County Public Library is hosting a hybrid tabletop RPG campaign Saturdays from 2:00 pm - 4:30 pm. Players can either attend in person at the library or join in via the library Discord group.

Please remember! Masks are required inside the library.

Our current campaign is in full swing as we take on the lengthy Call of Cthulhu campaign, Horror on the Orient Express every Saturday. *Seats are currently full, but spectator seats are always available! If you would like to join in or start a new campaign, please contact the library.*

Email the library at [email protected] to receive an invitation to our Discord server if you’d prefer to join digitally or to receive information about the current campaign. For an invite to the server please provide your name, age, and library card number. The current campaigns are recommended for ages 13+.

Prior knowledge of the current system is not needed to play and we’re always happy to help new players along the way. If you would just like to attend to see how the game works and to gauge your own interest, spectator spots are always available.

Please note this is for teens only, the rules are the same as any program, and no foul or sexually explicit language will be tolerated.
