Ladies of D&D San Diego presents the second annual Back 2 Ghoul, an all-day tabletop gaming fundraiser benefiting The Goblin Guild, a San Diego 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses Dungeons & Dragons to build confidence, creativity, and teamwork in local kids and teens. The premise is a school field trip gone catastrophically wrong. This year every D&D table plays the same original story at the same time, and what happens at one table changes the outcome for everyone else in the room. Expect mischief, academic chaos, high stakes, and a very stressed Ms. Frazzle. Never played D&D? A twenty dollar Hall Pass gets you in with no gameplay commitment. Move freely through the event, shop the Student Store for in-game items that help or hinder the players, browse the silent auction, play board games, and enter the door prize drawing. The day also includes Magic: The Gathering Commander tables and a Ghoul Lunch Box from Harvest Kitchen, included with every ticket. This is an 18+ event. Tickets are $20 to $100, available online only until sold out. "Ladies of D&D San Diego on Facebook and Instagram.

A new fine art photography exhibition, “Where Land, Light, & Water Meet: San Diego and Beyond,” by photographer Clay Myers‑Bowman opens July 12 at Nainsook Framing + Art in La Mesa, California. The solo exhibit runs July 12 through September 12 at Nainsook Framing + Art, 8130 La Mesa Boulevard, La Mesa, CA 91942, with an opening reception and book signing on Sunday, July 12, from 2 to 5 p.m. Myers‑Bowman previously lived in San Diego, and many of the photographs in this exhibition were created during that time in beloved coastal and inland locations throughout San Diego County. The exhibit is accompanied by a new photography book of the same title, “Where Land, Light, & Water Meet: San Diego and Beyond,” which invites viewers and readers into quiet, luminous moments where shifting light, still water, and familiar shores meet. “I am grateful for the chance to bring this work back to San Diego and La Mesa,” said Myers‑Bowman. “So many of these photographs were made here, and it feels special to share them with the community that helped shape both my life and my eye.” Nainsook Framing + Art on Facebook / Instagram
