In this live D&D show, four East Bay queens unravel a growing conspiracy in a fantasy version of Oakland!
About this Event

On Sunday, January 11thth at 6pm, your favorite East Bay queens return to @the_ricbar for a thrilling new episode of Roll for Shade!
Roll for Shade returns with another live episode of queer chaos, political intrigue, and extremely questionable disguises.

Last time in Oakfen, the queens finally reunited with Lily — restored, powerful, and very much not the same as when she vanished. As her new abilities awakened, the city revealed its darker underbelly: citizens frozen in stasis, quietly transported through a mysterious loading bay beneath City Hall, all under the watchful eye of the Teknolites.

To investigate, the party went undercover… very undercover. Spyder donned a convincing Ritua disguise to secure a ride to City Hall, while Asha slipped in through a magically unlocked rooftop to spy on a secret city council meeting discussing the unchecked expansion of tek across Oakfen. Meanwhile, subtlety was fully abandoned when Muirín posed as Avery’s mother — inventing the iconic alter ego Whitney White Woman — and caused a scene so loud and entitled that it nearly shattered the reception desk (and the fourth wall).

That distraction proved crucial. As tempers flared in the lobby, Spyder discovered a hidden stairwell leading deep into City Hall’s lower levels… and whatever secrets lie beneath.

No D&D or prior story knowledge needed to join the fun—just come ready for an evening of magic, adventure, and dice rolls!
