SUMMARY:Indie RPG Game Night (Geeky Teas)
LOCATION:900 W Alameda Ave
DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 20% · why: lots of
  people going\n\nWHAT IS THIS EVENT? At Indie RPG Night we gather to play 
 story games and independent role-playing games (RPGs). These games are sim
 ilar 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
 .\n\nWHO IS THIS FOR? Any experience level is welcome\, with no prior know
 ledge required. Almost all games are meant to be played in a single night 
 (sometimes called one-shots or episodic)\, so no regular attendance is nec
 essary.\n\nWHAT GAMES DO WE PLAY? We play games that allow us to come toge
 ther to have a good time telling a story collaboratively. We do not genera
 lly 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 narr
 ative authority so we all have similar control over the story. Some exampl
 es include:\n\nApocalypse World\nBlades in the Dark\nDream Askew\nFiasco\n
 For The Queen\nThe Quiet Year\nMicroscope\n\nWHAT GAMES DO WE AVOID? We av
 oid 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 bo
 ard and card games\, however this is not the event for those games. Note t
 hat 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 collabo
 ratively 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 pla
 yed conform to our Community Standards (https://bit.ly/StoryGamesLA-Commun
 ityStandards).\n\nWHERE AND WHEN IS THE EVENT? Locations vary so check the
  meetup event for the current location. On this night we play at Geeky Tea
 s & 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 dire
 ctly to them upon entry to the venue.\n\nHOW DO I ATTEND? If you plan on a
 ttending\, please RSVP here. We have tables reserved but space may be limi
 ted\, so we will prioritize people who RSVP if we end up having too many f
 olks. 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 accura
 te count. You should not need to bring anything with you\, however always 
 feel free to bring writing utensils\, dice\, note cards\, and so on.\n\nWH
 AT ARE THE RULES? We try to provide an inclusive space\, and do not tolera
 te harassment or prejudice of any kind\, including that based on race\, et
 hnicity\, religion\, gender\, or disabilities. By attending and participat
 ing you are agreeing to abide by our Community Standards (https://bit.ly/S
 toryGamesLA-CommunityStandards). If you have any issues\, please contact o
 ne of the meetup organizers at any time\, either during the meetup or afte
 rwards. We use the X-card and other RPG communication and safety tools\, w
 hich we write about in our Community Standards document\, and review when 
 our events start.\n\nHOW 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 t
 he 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 organiz
 ers either at the event\, or in the Story Games LA Discord (https://discor
 d.com/invite/qbPzyRYBQv). After doing so\, you simply need to bring the ma
 terials needed to play: rules\, printouts\, notecards or blank paper\, tok
 ens\, printouts\, and so on. We may have some of these items\, but may not
  have what you need.\n\nHOW CAN I BE A PART OF THE COMMUNITY? The best pla
 ce 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)
 . This is also where we sometimes host our online events.
