About

Dragon Slayers Sundays is a once-a-month high fantasy role playing game (RPG) one-shot experience using the Slayers system. Each session is 90-120 minutes of asymmetrical play, with each player using their own unique set of character rules contributing to the adventuring party.

• No prior experience needed
• All materials provided including dice, character sheets, and pencils
• Ages 18+

Players can expect to play a fantasy adventure of exploration, combat, and highjinks using classic characters like the barbarian, cleric, fighter, ranger, or wizard, to name a few.

Different from D&D

Dragon Slayers is different from Dungeons and Dragons in a number of ways, but among them are:

• Simplified rule system. Dragon Slayers focuses on a narrower set of abilities and dice rolls to focus on narrative instead of mechanic complexity;
• Rolling a 4 or above is a success. The dice you use for each skill varies, but with any roll a 4 is a success;
• You can do 3 things per turn - move, and 2 actions listed on your character sheet. That's it. You cannot choose the same action twice;
• Movement happens in zones - things are either close, near, or far. There are no hexes or squares to measure or keep track of;
• Characters follow their own rules. Each character sheet follows their own unique mechanics instead of lengthy or cumbersome global mechanics

There are a couple more differences we will cover when playing the game. Dragon Slayers is generally easier to jump into for one-session experiences based on its simplified rule system.

Code of Conduct

Players are expected to adhere to a code of conduct while paying the game. This includes:

• Be respectful and inclusive of players. Game Santa Cruz is a space for all players regardless of gender, identity, race, religion, or disability.
• Welcome new players. Be patient an courteous to new players as they learn the game.
• Play in good faith. Shenanigans are fun! Uncontrolled chaos is not. Since our time is limited to a one-shot experience please stay on track to complete the narrative within the alotted time.
• Play as a party. This is a cooperative game, not a solo experience. Players are expected to uplift each other and share the spotlight.
