SUMMARY:TTRPG Night w/Professional Game Master Persephone Lovell
DESCRIPTION:About this Event:\nDive into a world of adventure through the classic midwestern art of tabletop role-playing games! Sessions are entirely private\, hosted in the cafe side of the Scratching Post\, and we do mean entirely private: the cafe will be closed to everyone but cafe staff\, and your group!  \n  \nSessions will last approximately four hours\, with an ideal group being 3-6 players. However\, the game system played is extremely flexible; our GM is fluent in a wide assortment of popular role-playing games\, and is willing to work with you to provide your ideal experience!  \n  \nQuestions? Feel free to email our GM at persephonelovell44@gmail.com  \n  \nSee you at the table! \n \nAbout the Host:\nPersephone Lovell (Seph for short) is a notorious gremlin\, with a skillset befitting a gremlin. Cursed with a lifelong interest in storytelling\, she’s been running (and occasionally making) role-playing games for over ten years! Moreover\, Seph is a classically trained actor\, who once flew very far away to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles\, and has appeared in countless independent theater productions and film projects! \nWhen not GMing\, you can usually find Seph with a blunt sword in her hand at Tempered Mettle Historical Fencing\, or pensively critiquing the last video game she played. Ask her about giant robots if you have a free couple of eternities! \n  \nReservations for this private event need to be made at least 48 hours in advance. We are closed on Mondays so your group will have the cafe to themselves.\nEmail info@scratchingpostcafe.com with the date you are interested in (Monday from 6-10) and we will send over the booking info!

SUMMARY:Board Game Concierge Night - Learn to Play Stardew Valley

We have lots of tools to help you choose a game (see our game picker linked below\,) learn a game without actually reading the rules (most games are stickered with a QR code that takes you to a how to play video….for those of you that hate reading rulebooks) or you can even bring in your own game/DND group/etc. Same game pass pricing applies.\n–PLUS we have snacks\, drinks\, alcohol\, cats (in their separate lounge but viewable from the cafe side through large windows) and all the good vibes.\n20% of the profits from our food\, drink and merch sales go back to our partner rescues.

SUMMARY:TTRPG Night w/Professional Game Master Persephone Lovell
DESCRIPTION:About this Event:\nDive into a world of adventure through the classic midwestern art of tabletop role-playing games! Sessions are entirely private\, hosted in the cafe side of the Scratching Post\, and we do mean entirely private: the cafe will be closed to everyone but cafe staff\, and your group!  \n  \nSessions will last approximately four hours\, with an ideal group being 3-6 players. However\, the game system played is extremely flexible; our GM is fluent in a wide assortment of popular role-playing games\, and is willing to work with you to provide your ideal experience!  \n  \nQuestions? Feel free to email our GM at persephonelovell44@gmail.com  \n  \nSee you at the table! \n \nAbout the Host:\nPersephone Lovell (Seph for short) is a notorious gremlin\, with a skillset befitting a gremlin. Cursed with a lifelong interest in storytelling\, she’s been running (and occasionally making) role-playing games for over ten years! Moreover\, Seph is a classically trained actor\, who once flew very far away to study at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles\, and has appeared in countless independent theater productions and film projects! \nWhen not GMing\, you can usually find Seph with a blunt sword in her hand at Tempered Mettle Historical Fencing\, or pensively critiquing the last video game she played. Ask her about giant robots if you have a free couple of eternities! \n  \nReservations for this private event need to be made at least 48 hours in advance. We are closed on Mondays so your group will have the cafe to themselves.\nEmail info@scratchingpostcafe.com with the date you are interested in (Monday from 6-10) and we will send over the booking info!
