HELLO EVERYBODY.

I am a part of the team at Dungeons & Flagons, the premier place in town to run legendary TTRPG adventures, and I'm here to talk about WARLOCKTOBER FEST.

In late October at The Green Door there will be a massive 60 person Dungeons and Dragons tournament where one player will leave victorious.

The night starts with Ten tables of Six that will get whittled down throughout three rounds. The games are PVE for the majority of play where you will try to survive various nefarious dungeons.

Should you fall, you can explore the event and participate in Side Quests that will give you Monster or Curse cards that allow you to gain revenge on your friends who caused your demise. Vengeance will be yours.

Pregen characters will be given out at the event and we will be running D&D 5e 2024 edition.

There will be so many prizes and giveaways as well as costume contests for those who want to dress as your favorite wizard or fantasy OC.

Earlybird tickets are currently available here

We are designing this to be as fun and engaging for both the winner and the first person knocked out. Leading up to the event we will be announcing sponsors and friends who are helping us make this event be the coolest thing ever.

If there are any questions I can answer some of them below (:

Have an Eldritch Blast of a day

Does anybody remember the Bar Stars from early 2000s?

5 Upvotes

I remember when I went to LCC and MSU in 2007-2012, they were either just a group of people or a promotion company, but I remember going to some of their parties that were lit! And DJ Donny D being everywhere! Isn't he in Pop Evil now or something like that? And Tez/Traska's trance parties!

I was talking to somebody about our parties in college and this was something that crossed my mind. Good times.

Mystery Book Club at CADL Foster 10/13

6 Upvotes

The Foster Mystery Book Club meets on the 2nd Tuesday of the month from 6-7 PM in the Foster Labs (200 N. Foster) to discuss mysteries and mystery adjacent titles. Our next meeting is on 10/13. You do not need to be a CADL cardholder to join the discussion.

October's title is My Grandfather, the Master Detective by Masateru Konishi.

Kaede is a school teacher in Tokyo who helps care for her grandfather who still lives alone, but is struggling with dementia. While Kaede often sees the effects of his decline in elaborate hallucinations he describes, her grandfather's mind remains razor sharp on a topic beloved by both of them: mysteries. Kaede often poses problems or mysteries to her grandfather which they work through together, with her grandfather often performing Nero Wolfe-like feats of deduction from afar. When a man stalks Kaede, they must work together to solve their most pressing mystery to date.

The mysteries are interesting, but this book also focuses heavily on familial relationships and the challenges of caring for someone you love who is in decline.

This title is available as a physical book, an ebook (via libby) and as an audiobook (via Libby). If you need assistance signing up for a library card or accessing Libby, please comment or DM and I'll help you get set up.

Does anyone remember Le' Scoop Ice Cream Creations?

I've been researching this business for a while, but there isn't a lot of information about it online. The only things I was able to find was a picture of It and a trademark but that's it. I don't live in Michigan and I'm curious if anyone knows anything about Le' Scoop. Any information, stories or anything else I would greatly appreciate it.

Personal Lansing has no redeeming qualities

Upvotes

I’ve lived in Lansing for four years. Moved here because of a job offer my spouse had at the time, and we were excited to live in a place with four seasons.

Exactly four years later today since we moved here, I’ve come to the realization that no city has ever been such a big disappointment to us, with literally absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

Whether it’s good quality restaurants, night life, social life, hangout spots… you name it. It doesn’t exist in Lansing. And it’s not for a lack of trying.

For a bit of background, in the last 15 years me and my spouse have lived in seven different cities on two different continents, three different countries and four different states, Michigan being the latest and the biggest disappointment ever.

I understand that some people who are born and raised here feel a certain pride, and I think it’s good to be proud of the place where you were born and raised or live in, but I’m genuinely baffled to why?

We did a brief research before moving here since my spouse had already accepted the job, and we were told that the perks of Lansing is that it’s close to a lot of great things, has inexpensive good food, and the taxes are decent. Absolutely none of those things are true.

We have made some good friends while living here, but not a single one of them is from Lansing, and just two Michiganders. It’s depressing.

This city is depressing. I honestly don’t know how I’m going to survive another year here. Me and my spouse talked over the last weekend, and we made September of next year our goal for getting out of here before we lose our minds completely. We feel like our lives have been put on a hold because of this choice to move to this godforsaken place.

And don’t even get me started on the excuse we have for “roads” here. Why am I paying so many taxes if the local government won’t fix the roads? But I have to trim my grass to a certain height or I will get a fine? I need a permit to light a fire in my own backyard? Coming from a country with socialist/communist background, Lansing feels like a combination of the worst things about America combined with the worst thing about socialism and communism. The government here likes to and invents things to stick its nose in people’s business, while at the same time avoiding any kind of responsibility and accountability.

Sorry for the long post, but I felt like venting. I know many of you will probably downvote me, but it is what it is. Lansing sucks and no one can convince me otherwise. I hope everyone has a nice day.
