Understanding Your Cat
Tuesday, November 1 at 6:30 PM
Everyone loves a good cat video…but what if your cat isn’t acting quite as cute as the ones you see on the internet? Are you tired of your cat thinking “outside the box”… or are you living with a hardcore shredder? And I don’t mean snowboarding! And when it comes to your multi-cat household – why can’t they all just get along? Meet Dr. Rachel Geller, certified cat behaviorist, and she will answer all of these questions and more. Bring those cat behavior questions!

Virtual Tabletop Guild
Saturday, November 19 at 2:00 PM
An ancient darkness is on the rise as the Virtual Tabletop Guild continues the Age of Ashes campaign for Pathfinder 2nd Edition!
Nestled in the foothills of the Five Kings Mountains, the quaint town of Breachill has a proud tradition of assembling groups of adventurers to handle tasks beyond the skill and scope of their humble guardsmen. When during this month's Call for Heroes a humble goblin scholar beseeches the town council to investigate the signals for help from an abandonned Hellknight citadel, will our adventurers be up for the task? What strange creatures and bygone mysteries will they find hidden beneath Hellknight Hill?
Participants may create their own 2nd level characters for Pathfinder 2nd edition to play as, or use available pregenerated characters. If you have any questions about this process or the system, feel free to send me an email!
The meeting will be conducted virtually via Discord and the Foundry virtual tabletop program.
--For Adults (18+) only.
Registration is required. A link to the Foundry game will be sent at least 15 minutes prior to event start time.
Registrants must have a stable internet connection, a microphone (integrated, external, or headset) and headphones/earbuds.
