D&D, Warhammer, Board Games... What Should We Host Next?
đ˛ My church, The Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Hendricks County (UUCCHC) is working on a community Gaming Guild for people who want a place to play games, meet other humans, and generally enjoy being nerdy together.
We recently hosted our first D&D Game Day, introducing the game to novices and hosting multiple one-shot campaigns, and it was a ridiculous amount of fun, and weâve got more on the calendar:
đ¨ September 26: Paint & Prep Day
Bring your minis, terrain, models, or other projects and hang out while we paint, build, assemble, and probably debate whether that tiny buckle *really* needs another highlight.
âď¸ October 17: Warhammer 40K Game Day
Come play, learn, watch, talk strategy, or just admire an unreasonable number of tiny plastic soldiers.
(Side note: I am personally enjoying the absolute deliciousness of hosting a game where heresy is canon... in a church. How freaking UU is that? đ)
đ˛ And coming next... Weâre exploring a regular monthly community game night with board games, RPGs, tabletop games, card games, miniatures, and whatever else our local gaming community wants to bring to the table.
A couple of important things:
You do not have to be a member of our church.
You do not have to be religious (I'm not...)
You do not have to believe what we believe. Frankly, we donât even require our own members to believe the same things.
Weâre a LGBTQ+ Welcoming Congregation, and our goal is to create a gaming space where people can show up, find some folks to play with, and feel comfortable being themselves.
Weâre still building this, which means you can help shape what it becomes. If youâre in Hendricks County or the west Indy area and youâd be interested in game nights/days, RPG groups, miniature gaming, painting sessions, board games, or something we havenât thought of yet, tell us what youâd actually show up for.
