"I Was Told There'd Be Homebrew": Using Open Resources to Build No Cost/Low Cost Campaigns
Summary:
Material costs for TTRPGs like D&D 5e present access barriers to some players. This presentation shows how educators and librarians can use open resources to welcome all to the gaming table.
Description:
While tabletop roleplaying games like D&D 5e are more popular than they have ever been, access barriers still exist for some players hoping to get into the game. The cost of game materials such as rule books, dice, and minis can prevent some people from playing. This presentation gives an overview of open resources and low-cost/no-cost materials that librarians, educators, community event planners and others can use to eliminate barriers and welcome all gamers to the table. We will describe how Wizards of the Coast’s open gaming license, the System Reference Document, virtual tabletop systems, and other resources can eliminate or minimize the cost required to build homebrew campaigns. This presentation is perfect for budget-conscious TTRPG planners and those who want to make their game sessions more accessible and inclusive.

Description:
You live in a downtown apartment. It's not great, but it's conveniently located, and it's a place to sleep at night, even if the neighborhood can be a bit... weird. You have some nice neighbors, some not so nice, some outright strange, and you suspect most have their secrets, just like you. The two things you have in common is you live in the same building and all shop at the mini-market on the first floor. Everyone says "Hey" and they get on with their lives, except there was this one night when some outsiders decided to crash the party...
You are robots (or 'bots for short) that are part of a smart house of the future where nothing ever unexpected happens. Ever...really...you can trust me...
