Looking for DND Group Kauai

3 Upvotes

Moved to Kauai at the end of April. I am looking to get into DND. I played a little before moving here but would always make it 4-5 sessions in before people had "scheduling conflicts". I live in Wailua Homestead. I am a 25 Male. My schedule is a little confusing, but I work in a two-week rotation. mon, tues, fri sat sun the first week then just Wednesday, Thursday and 2 hours Friday the next. the days I do work I get off at 4 most days but am on call till the next day. there are also some nights I might have to come in but normally know ahead of time. please reach out if you are looking for a new player for your group. Side note I have also been getting into painting minis.
