This ain’t Yahtzee, folks.

This ain’t Yahtzee, folks.

Then let’s roll! This Saturday is the annual worldwide Dungeons & Dragons game day. Last year, more than 25,000 people gathered in hobby shops and bookstores across the globe to grapple with wizards, dragons and strange magic. This year, you’re invited to join the tradition at Great Escape Games in Sacramento, Rocklin’s Hobby Monkey, A-1 Comics in Roseville, Carmichael’s Adventures in Comics and Games, or Castle Comics and Games in Cameron Park. Each event is free, but you’ll need to bring a pen, paper, and a set of dice (including four, six, eight, 10, 12 and 20-sided dice). Characters will be provided. Visit www.dndgameday.com to find the location of the store nearest you or post messages to find fellow adventurers in your area.
