Fall 2023 Signups

On By dudad2017In Exec BoardLeave a comment

Hey DUDAD! We’ve opened up the player application for next year!

While I know there’s plenty of temptation to wait until summer to take a look at the campaigns- keep in mind our priority signups end Saturday May 28 at Midnight, so its better to sign up quickly so you have a better chance of getting into your favorite campaigns.

We have 8 DMs running campaigns next year, find more information at either location linked below:

dudad.org/full-info-fall-2023/

dudad.org/upcoming-campaigns/

Already have an idea of where you want to go, or prefer to be slotted randomly? Skip to the survey! https://forms.gle/GSogQeGJvtDRNTz56

We’ll see this fall!

Meeting Recap, 4/5

On By Hannah Renea BumgarnerIn Exec Board, recapLeave a comment

Welcome back to adventuring, DU Dragons! It’s the first day back so campaigns were whisked away to encounter giant mushrooms, defend themselves from the Biscotti Illuminati, possibly fight a litch (but maybe not tho?), and apparently kill a ninja turtle. Comment below with some of your fun memories from your first session!

Constitution

Heads up! We’re having a Town Hall Meeting TODAY (4/7) at 3pm in ECS 200. We’ll be going over a lot of changes the exec team has been making to the constitution, since the last time it was revised, we were a little club of about 20 people. Come on down if you have questions and wanna engage in a dialogue with the current e-board about the changes!

Player’s Guild

One Shot Day!

OSD is returning for the Spring Quarter! Our first OSD will be Saturday, April 13th, 2019 from 2-6pm in Sharon’s Alcove. Come, hang out, get to know fellow DUDADers, it’ll be a great time!

Have suggestions to make OSD even better? Email us! We’d love to incorporate your ideas!

We Can’t Wait To See You!

Welcome back, Dragons! We hope you all had a restful Spring Break.

Yes, Spring Break is always too short. Yes, week 1 has already been hectic two days in. But the good news is, soon DnD is starting back up! Rejoice! Huzzah!

Mark your calendars: our first meeting back is Sharon’s Alcove on Friday, April 6th at 7pm! Be there or be d6!

Also, the Player’s Guild will be resetting, so if you want us to promo your stuff, email us with the deets! Keep it to less than 30 seconds of promo! We love promoting your stuff and we aim to make this family as supportive as possible.

Don’t know what group you’re in? Don’t roll a die, head on over to our placement page and command+F your way to clarity!

Not on our placement page yet? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? SIGN UP!
Your overlords exec team members demand it! (No seriously, please sign up).

Also, DMs: send us your snack requests please!

See you soon, Dragons!

Player’s Guild

More Details Version

Don’t Split the Party!

We’re a massive club and we get out after dark. We started the DSTP program so that we can be sure you all get home safely! DMs should coordinate which players go where. If you can’t find your DM or they haven’t done DSTP, find a board member! We’re always the last to leave and we want you to feel safe.

Board Member Locations

  • HR: Room 200
  • Bones: Room 201
  • Marcus & Jordyn: Sharon’s Alcove, one of the middle huddle areas

Thank you for doing your part to keep DUDAD safe!

The Census

Y’all.

OSD #1!!

The first One-Shot Day is here! We’ll be running OSD in Sharon’s Alcove from 2-6pm, and we can’t wait!

We only had a couple of DMs sign up so we’re welcoming any and all pop-up DMs of any and all skill levels! This is a great, chill way to practice your mad DM skillz.

OSD is also a great way to get to know other DUDADers outside of the formal meeting. Make new friends! Hang out! Run a lazers and feelings sesh! It’s gonna be a good time. Don’t forget to bring your own snacks.

Club Supplies

We have supplies to rent out! Player handbooks, battlegrids, dice, and more! To check out supplies, visit Jordyn Merritt in Sharon’s Alcove, find her in one of the middle huddle spots.

USG

There used to be a not-so-nice, anti-USG rhetoric in DUDAD. The exec board does not support this and just wants to remind our players that USG have helped us in more ways than we can tell. A lot of problems lie in the DU Administration overall, but the blame gets pushed onto USG, who are students just like us. We encourage you to keep that in mind and to be kind. And vote! It matters, and if all 100+ of us vote, we make a massive impact on this campus!

Dues

We don’t want to have to charge dues, but we need to keep the club afloat. If you haven’t yet, hand $5 cash to Bones. On Fridays, he can be found in room 201. He’s also going to be at One-Shot Day this afternoon, and you can turn them in there as well!

We understand cash can get a little weird. If that’s the case, send $5.50 to @dudad on Venmo (the name that’ll come up is Hannah Renea Bumgarner. That’s HR!) We only charge the extra 50 cents because withdrawing that money comes with fees. Thank you for your understanding!

T-Shirts

We’ve only had 5 interest responses for t-shirts so far, which is unfortunately not enough for us to order and breakeven. If you’ve already filled out the form and really, really want a t-shirt, remind your friends to!


If you already have a shirt, why not give it a friend? Mountain of t-shirts. All for you. Hoard them like a dragon. Just picture it.

Thank you for keeping the rooms clean!

See you at 7!

Don’t forget to bring $5 in cash tonight or Venmo $5.50 to @dudad!

If you and a buddy have a $10 bill, that works too! Just make sure you both go to Bones to turn it in.

Turn in all cash dues to Bones in room 201!

Also, if you want specific snacks, tell your DM when they send in attendance!

Be sure to clean your space at the end of your campaign.

We’ll see you at Sharon’s Alcove in ECS at 7pm!

Welcome back, Adventurers!

Last night was the kick-off meeting for DU Dungeons & Dragons and we’re so excited to have had such a crazy fun start to the Fall Quarter!

If you didn’t have a chance to come to the opening meeting, here’s what you missed:

TL;DR Version

  • Fill out the census so HR doesn’t come after you.
  • ONE SHOT DAYS ARE BACK! The first OSD is Sat, Sept 22 in the normal meeting place. To DM, sign up with this form by Wed, Sept 19th at 11:59 PM. (Jump to more info on OSDs)
  • Dues are $5 in physical cash and $5.50 on Venmo (@dudad).
  • Player’s Guild:
    • Bones is taking commissions for music.
    • Maggie is taking commissions for character artwork.
  • Want a t-shirt? We might order more.
  • Welcome back!

More Info Version

We had over 100 people in attendance last night which is bananas! We’re so proud of our club! We went from a single, tiny campaign in a senior’s apartment in 2015 to one of the largest clubs on campus in 2018!

Huge shoutout to Jordan Z, Matt, Zach, Maggie, Tabris, HR, Josh, and TJ for stepping in and being backup DMs! Y’all rock and we couldn’t have done last night without you.

That being said, there’s a lot of y’all to organize! Please be sure to fill out our census form if you haven’t already! This will save us a ton of time and energy and hopefully help our club get a little more recognition on campus from USG.

We might be ordering t-shirts again! We’ll only be able to order shirts if we have a decent amount of interest because money is difficult. Please be sure to fill out this form to pre-order your shirt. We won’t be collecting money until shirts are actually in.

One-Shot Days!

OSDs are back! These are awesome, mini-campaigns that are generally more laid back and low pressure than our typical club meetings.

We ask that DMs sign up ahead of time and we encourage everyone to try out DMing if you haven’t. This is a good way to get experience without having to commit to a full quarter! DM signups are due Wednesday, September 19th at 11:59 PM.

The actual OSD is Saturday, September 22nd from 2-6pm in Sharon’s Alcove. Come and go as you please, these are generally really chill, laid back, and a good opportunity to get to know players outside of your campaign.

Dues

We charge a one-time due of $5 for an entire year at DUDAD. This helps us get snacks and make sure everyone is taken care of. We are hoping to remove dues sometime in the future, but until we get proper funding to support our massive club, dues are just a part of things. We appreciate your cooperation.

You can pay physical cash dues to Bones in room ECS 201. We can only make change based on what we have. If you and another player wanna turn in a $10 or something higher, please come to Bones together with the larger bill.

We’ve introduced another way: Venmo! We’re trying out Venmo for ease and convenience this year. Send $5.50 to @dudad to turn in your dues quickly and easily! We have to charge an extra two quarters because Venmo comes with certain fees. We appreciate your understanding!

Dues are due by week 4. That’s the week of Friday, October 5th. Please don’t forget! We keep track of who has and hasn’t paid and we would greatly appreciate getting that squared away ASAP.

Player’s Guild

  • Alex “Bones” Niederberger composes music. Want a short custom composition for your player or campaign? Email him to find out more about his commissions.
  • Maggie McKenna is an artist and graphic designer. She’s taking commission work too! More info here.
  • Want us to recognize what you’re up to? Shoot us an email to have your work, events, and achievements acknowledged in the Player’s Guild!

The next meeting is Friday, September 21st at 7pm in Sharon’s Alcove!

1st floor of the ECS building. We will be having a much, much shorter kick-off meeting than last night’s.

Thank you everyone who came out and was heckin’ patient with us! The first session is always bonkers, especially Fall Quarter. Y’all were awesome and we’ll see you next week!
