Dungeons and Dragons is a social game. You build a character to interact with the other players’ own avatars, forge long-lasting friendships, save a couple of major cities, and maybe stop a demon lord from destroying the material plane. 

 

But sometimes you don’t have time for that, so you jump into a quick campaign, kick in some doors, kill a few monsters, and then, like a guest at the Mad Hatter’s tea party, it’s time to CHANGE PLACES!

 

On Chaos RPG Day you can do exactly that, taking one character and moving from adventure to adventure, doing minor quests and saving small villages at record-breaking speed. You may even get to play some new RPGs you’ve never played before. Perhaps and experienced Storyteller wants to run a short Werewolf: the Apocalypse game, or an AI with an IQ of 6000 is willing to put you on the Jupiter Corporation Mining Ship Red Dwarf for a quick game of zero-G golf.

 

Aside from the opportunity to meet new people and backstab them, Chaos RPG Day is also a great way to play characters you’re curious to experiment with, or that you think will work well in a low-level campaign. If you usually play martial classes like Barbarians, this is a great opportunity to dip your toes into spellcasting, or to try out a new race, or take a big risk with a class feature like Wild Magic.
