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.
