It’s a great way to get a chance to play\, either with an old favorite\, or a set you may never have gotten a chance to play with before.  (And for those who groaned about getting BOG\, the last time\, the two best sets of decks in the event came from that underestimated set that really brought the goods.) \nTwo-headed giants are the  best way EVER for bringing in people who haven’t felt comfortable playing before. It works great for significant others\, buddies who want to check it out\, or just friends who want to play. \n$19.50 each player\, get (5) packs for each player starting at  4 pm- build decks until play begins at 5:30 \nWho’s it good for: \n\nBuddies\nSweeties (couples…either where both play\, or the significant other is looking for a nice\, no-pressure way to share something the other person really likes)\nParent/Kid combos (or big sibling\, etc)  Kids get to be the smart ones for once\, and the parents get to see what this is about (and get a great date with their kid)\n\nAbout Two Headed Giant \nParent & Kids playing two-headed Giant\nTwo-headed giant is a team Magic the Gathering event. Teams usually comprise of buddies\, parent/kid combos\, and a lot of couples.  Both players play together\, sharing a life total\, showing each other their cards\, consulting with each other and playing at the same times.  Because of that it is both great social fun\, and probably the best way for a new player\, or someone who is just curious what their buddy/kid/or SO likes so much about the game to get a chance to try without feeling any pressure to know all (or any) of the rules.  Think of it like tandem skydiving…you get all the fun\, without having to worry about when to pull the rip-cord.(It is particularly great for Moms or Dads who want to have a really cool date night with their kids. This event is a GREAT way for parents to figure out what this thing the kids are doing is anyway\, and for the kids to get a chance to be the ones who know what is going on for a change. ;-)Because you play as a team and can help each other out\, the kid gets to be the smart one for a change\, and the parent gets to play without needing to worry about “doing it wrong”. Also…kids love having their mom or dad help them try and beat another team.) \nEach player (head) gets 4 packs and shares them with their partner to make two 40 card decks\, one for each player . You’ll have plenty of cards to use to make interesting decks with that number of packs\, and the cards you open are yours to keep.  Teams play 3 matches against other teams (since the team starts with 30 life instead of twenty\, it is a single game…they usually last anywhere from 25-50 minutes.) If you win a round\, each team gets two prize packs.  If you lost\, you will most likely be paired up with someone else who had the same type of night\, so it tends to balance itself out. \nD20 tends to be a friendly place to play\, and the Two-headed Giant is particularly so.  We have great players who take pride in making other players feel welcome and remembering that it’s a game\, its played for fun. 😉 \nFrequently asked Questions \nWhat is it?: Two-Headed Giant Magic Tournament. (Two players on the same team\, sharing life and playing in parallel against other teams of players) \nDo I need to know what I’m doing?: Since both players play at the same time and can show each other their cards\, as long as one of the two players knows what they are doing\, nothing is required of the other player. It is the best\, most fun way to learn the game. \nDo we need to make and bring our own decks? Nope. This is what is called a sealed deck tournament\, which basically means that each team gets a fixed number of packs (8) of Magic cards to build the two decks used to play in the tournament. \nWhen is is and how long does it go? Get packs as early as 4 pm to start building decks\, matches start at 5:30 and the last match usually ends by 8:30 (if not earlier). \nWe also run kid friendly drafts for 9-14 year-olds the first Saturday of each month at 5:30m and adult FNM at 6:45 on Fridays. \nwww.alameda.com 510-522-2109. \nMTG\, Magic the Gathering\, Friday Night Magic\, FNM URL:https://www.d20alameda.com/event/fathers-day-mystery-box-fat-pack-warstwo-headed-giant/ LOCATION:D20 Games Alameda\, 1405 Encinal Ave.\, Alameda\, CA\, 94501\, United States CATEGORIES:Magic,Magic Events,Main Page,Special ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.d20alameda.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Two-Headed-Giant-at-D20-Games.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="D20%20Games":MAILTO:info@d20alameda.com GEO:37.7702431;-122.2618478 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=D20 Games Alameda 1405 Encinal Ave. Alameda CA 94501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1405 Encinal Ave.:geo:-122.2618478,37.7702431 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170617T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170617T203000 DTSTAMP:20240328T125409 CREATED:20170414T074952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170615T185937Z UID:4652-1497715200-1497731400@www.d20alameda.com SUMMARY:Amonkhet Two-Headed Giant DESCRIPTION:Ton of fun and best way EVER for bringing in people who haven’t felt comfortable playing before.

Teams usually comprise of buddies\, parent/kid combos\, and a lot of couples.  Both players play together\, sharing a life total\, showing each other their cards\, consulting with each other and playing at the same times.  Because of that it is both great social fun\, and probably the best way for a new player\, or someone who is just curious what their buddy/kid/or SO likes so much about the game to get a chance to try without feeling any pressure to know all (or any) of the rules.  Think of it like tandem skydiving…you get all the fun\, without having to worry about when to pull the rip-cord.(It is particularly great for Moms or Dads who want to have a really cool date night with their kids. This event is a GREAT way for parents to figure out what this thing the kids are doing is anyway\, and for the kids to get a chance to be the ones who know what is going on for a change. ;-)Because you play as a team and can help each other out\, the kid gets to be the smart one for a change\, and the parent gets to play without needing to worry about “doing it wrong”. Also…kids love having their mom or dad help them try and beat another team.)\nEach player (head) gets one prerelease kitchen and shares them with their partner to make two 40 card decks\, one for each player . You’ll have plenty of cards to use to make interesting decks with that number of packs\, and the cards you open are yours to keep.  Teams play 3 matches against other teams (since the team starts with 30 life instead of twenty\, it is a single game…they usually last anywhere from 25-50 minutes.) If you win a round\, each team gets two prize packs.  If you lost\, you will most likely be paired up with someone else who had the same type of night\, so it tends to balance itself out.\nNicol is Back!!\nhttp://magic.wizards.com/en/products/hour-devastation/storytelling\nhttp://magic.wizards.com/en/products/hour-devastation/cards\nhttp://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/hour-devastation-mechanics-2017-06-16\n \n \nSamut the Tested URL:https://www.d20alameda.com/event/sun-3pm-thg-hour-devastation-prerelease/ LOCATION:D20 Games 1530 Park\, 1530 Park Street\, Alameda\, CA\, 94501\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured,Magic,Magic Events,Main Page,Special ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.d20alameda.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/9ca0fbbdb7f90f319cdaf3444ec6931c.jpg GEO:37.7660814;-122.2410054 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=D20 Games 1530 Park 1530 Park Street Alameda CA 94501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1530 Park Street:geo:-122.2410054,37.7660814 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170714T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170714T223000 DTSTAMP:20240328T125409 CREATED:20170714T210830Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190117T022913Z UID:4701-1500058800-1500071400@www.d20alameda.com SUMMARY:FNM Hour of Devastation Release DESCRIPTION:(Online sales end 1 hour before all events)\nRelease weekend promo card“The dragon’s plans spanned millennia and his perception straddled centuries\, a winding maze of possibility and circumstance and statistics and likelihood.

We will have fun along the way\, but this is primarily for players who want to get into the action of role playing.\nWho is this for:\nPlayers wishing to join should have some experience role-playing; experience with the D&D 5e system is recommended but not fully required.  The campaign will last 7-10 weeks depending on how the encounters go.\n\nSize of Party:\nThe table is limited to 7 players and the cost will be $5 per players (going to store credit for the DM).  We are going to be trying something new with this campaign so people who show up can get priority to keep playing.  Slots for the following week can be reserved by paying in advance for that next week when you play in they event (non refundable-it is locking up a seat).  We expect that there will be some people hopping in and out\, but we want to give players who come each week a chance to make sure they get to continue playing.\nCharacter building:\nCharacters will start at level 8.  You may bring in characters from other campaigns or create new ones.  Characters can be made using any of the options on Page 13 of the players handbook\, but  if you want to roll stats  For the sake of balance\, characters that are especially powerful or weak are subject to have some stats modified to bring them in line with the other players.  Please bring them either in a paper copy\, or with their stats filled in on one of the online PDF character sheets. http://media.wizards.com/2016/dnd/downloads/5E_CharacterSheet_Fillable.pdfs\n(BTW…here is a great source for other character sheet from Dice Geeks)\n\nFirst day will be primarily character building/checking.\n*Note…we will be trying something new with this campaign.  Players that URL:https://www.d20alameda.com/event/week-hell-dd-5e-campaign-levels-8-10-2017-09-03/ LOCATION:D20 Games 1530 Park\, 1530 Park Street\, Alameda\, CA\, 94501\, United States CATEGORIES:D&D,Featured,Main Page,Special ORGANIZER;CN="D20%20Games":MAILTO:info@d20alameda.com GEO:37.7660814;-122.2410054 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=D20 Games 1530 Park 1530 Park Street Alameda CA 94501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1530 Park Street:geo:-122.2410054,37.7660814 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170914T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170914T190000 DTSTAMP:20240328T125409 CREATED:20170914T122105Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170914T122105Z UID:4789-1505408400-1505415600@www.d20alameda.com SUMMARY:Thurs. 5pm D&D 7 DESCRIPTION:Dan is back and running a campaign for 5th level characters.   Space in the group each week is first come\, first sign up\, and very subject to the DM’s being healthy and present.  Check the website/twitter feed for last minute updates/announcements). \nDungeons and Dragons: Encounters \nWhen: Every Thursday\, \nTime: ~ 5 pm play (may very based on DM) \nCost: 5$ per player-limit is 7 players per table ($ Goes to DM credit) \nWhat is D&D?  Dungeons & Dragons is the game the popularized role playing.  Created in the mid-70’s\,D&D was unique in casting one of the players in the role of the Dungeon Master.  A person who both kept the secrets of the world that the other players were trying to discover\, and acted as a living interpreter of the rules\, allowing players to try all sorts of creative solutions to problems they encounter\, and not be limited by only what the original game creators set down on paper.  This was quite literally a game-changer\, in that it really allowed people to use their imaginations to inhabit characters that they created and moved through the world.  It works best when the players access the freedom of their 8-12 year old selves and create characters that are ones they would have chosen to play on a playground. \nCharacter Creation. \nEach DM chooses how character creation is done.  If by rolling\, it must be done in the store with an official watching\, however\, if it uses the customize ability scores method (which is the default for D20) you can create a character at home and bring it in. \n(From the D&D5.0 Wikia on creating a character…) \nPlayers have 27 points to spend on your ability scores.

It works great for significant others\, buddies who want to check it out\, or just friends who want to play. \n$17.50 each player\, get (4) packs for each player starting at  4 pm- build decks until play begins at 5:30 \nWho’s it good for: \n\nBuddies\nSweeties (couples…either where both play\, or the significant other is looking for a nice\, no-pressure way to share something the other person really likes)\nParent/Kid combos (or big sibling\, etc)  Kids get to be the smart ones for once\, and the parents get to see what this is about (and get a great date with their kid)\n\nAbout Two Headed Giants \nParent & Kids playing two-headed Giant\nTwo-headed giants are a team Magic the Gathering event. Teams usually comprise of buddies\, parent/kid combos\, and a lot of couples.  Both players play together\, sharing a life total\, showing each other their cards\, consulting with each other and playing at the same times.  Because of that it is both great social fun\, and probably the best way for a new player\, or someone who is just curious what their buddy/kid/or SO likes so much about the game to get a chance to try without feeling any pressure to know all (or any) of the rules.  Think of it like tandem skydiving…you get all the fun\, without having to worry about when to pull the rip-cord.(It is particularly great for Moms or Dads who want to have a really cool date night with their kids. This event is a GREAT way for parents to figure out what this thing the kids are doing is anyway\, and for the kids to get a chance to be the ones who know what is going on for a change. ;-)Because you play as a team and can help each other out\, the kid gets to be the smart one for a change\, and the parent gets to play without needing to worry about “doing it wrong”. Also…kids love having their mom or dad help them try and beat another team.) \nEach player (head) gets 4 packs and shares them with their partner to make two 40 card decks\, one for each player . You’ll have plenty of cards to use to make interesting decks with that number of packs\, and the cards you open are yours to keep.  Teams play 3 matches against other teams (since the team starts with 30 life instead of twenty\, it is a single game…they usually last anywhere from 25-50 minutes.) If you win a round\, each team gets two prize packs.  If you lost\, you will most likely be paired up with someone else who had the same type of night\, so it tends to balance itself out. \nD20 tends to be a friendly place to play\, and the Two-headed Giants are particularly so.  We have great players who take pride in making other players feel welcome and remembering that it’s a game\, its played for fun. 😉 \nFrequently asked Questions \nWhat is it?: Two-Headed Giant Magic Tournament. (Two players on the same team\, sharing life and playing in parallel against other teams of players) \nDo I need to know what I’m doing?: Since both players play at the same time and can show each other their cards\, as long as one of the two players knows what they are doing\, nothing is required of the other player. It is the best\, most fun way to learn the game. \nDo we need to make and bring our own decks? Nope. This is what is called a sealed deck tournament\, which basically means that each team gets a fixed number of packs (8) of Magic cards to build the two decks used to play in the tournament. \nHow much does it cost? $17.50 per person which includes 4 packs ($19.50 including sleeves) (Special sets may cost more) \nWhen is is and how long does it go? Get packs as early as 4 pm\, starts at 5:30 and the last match usually ends by 8:30 (if not earlier). \nWe also run kid friendly drafts for 9-14 year-olds the first Saturday of each month at 5:30m and adult FNM at 6:45 on Fridays. \nwww.alameda.com 510-522-2109. \nMTG\, Magic the Gathering\, Friday Night Magic\, FNM URL:https://www.d20alameda.com/event/two-headed-giant-2017-09-16/ LOCATION:D20 Games Alameda\, 1405 Encinal Ave.\, Alameda\, CA\, 94501\, United States CATEGORIES:Magic,Magic Events,Main Page ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.d20alameda.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Two-Headed-Giant-at-D20-Games.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="D20%20Games":MAILTO:info@d20alameda.com GEO:37.7702431;-122.2618478 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=D20 Games Alameda 1405 Encinal Ave. Alameda CA 94501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=1405 Encinal Ave.:geo:-122.2618478,37.7702431 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170920T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170920T190000 DTSTAMP:20240328T125409 CREATED:20170920T192105Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180913T114617Z UID:4803-1505926800-1505934000@www.d20alameda.com SUMMARY:Weds Intro D&D-5pm DESCRIPTION:We are starting a new intro to D&D campaign for Weds.  Space in the group each week is first come\, first sign up\, and very subject to the DM’s being healthy and present.  Check the website/twitter feed for last minute updates/announcements). \nDungeons and Dragons: Encounters \nWhen: Every Wed\, \nTime: ~ 5 pm play (may very based on DM) \nCost: 5$ per player-limit is 7 players per table ($ Goes to DM credit) \nWhat is D&D?  Dungeons & Dragons is the game the popularized role playing.  Created in the mid-70’s\,D&D was unique in casting one of the players in the role of the Dungeon Master.  A person who both kept the secrets of the world that the other players were trying to discover\, and acted as a living interpreter of the rules\, allowing players to try all sorts of creative solutions to problems they encounter\, and not be limited by only what the original game creators set down on paper.  This was quite literally a game-changer\, in that it really allowed people to use their imaginations to inhabit characters that they created and moved through the world.  It works best when the players access the freedom of their 8-12 year old selves and create characters that are ones they would have chosen to play on a playground. \nCharacter Creation. \nEach DM chooses how character creation is done.  If by rolling\, it must be done in the store with an official watching\, however\, if it uses the customize ability scores method (which is the default for D20) you can create a character at home and bring it in. \n(From the D&D5.0 Wikia on creating a character…) \nPlayers have 27 points to spend on your ability scores.

Teams usually comprise of buddies\, parent/kid combos\, and a lot of couples.  Both players play together\, sharing a life total\, showing each other their cards\, consulting with each other and playing at the same times.  Because of that it is both great social fun\, and probably the best way for a new player\, or someone who is just curious what their buddy/kid/or SO likes so much about the game to get a chance to try without feeling any pressure to know all (or any) of the rules.  Think of it like tandem skydiving…you get all the fun\, without having to worry about when to pull the rip-cord.(It is particularly great for Moms or Dads who want to have a really cool date night with their kids. This event is a GREAT way for parents to figure out what this thing the kids are doing is anyway\, and for the kids to get a chance to be the ones who know what is going on for a change. ;-)Because you play as a team and can help each other out\, the kid gets to be the smart one for a change\, and the parent gets to play without needing to worry about “doing it wrong”. Also…kids love having their mom or dad help them try and beat another team.)\nEach player (head) gets a 6 pack prerelease kit and shares it with their partner to make two 40 card decks\, one for each player . You’ll have plenty of cards to use to make interesting decks with that number of packs\, and the cards you open are yours to keep.  Teams play 3 matches against other teams (since the team starts with 30 life instead of twenty\, it is a single game…they usually last anywhere from 25-50 minutes.) If you win a round\, each team gets two prize packs.  If you lost\, you will most likely be paired up with someone else who had the same type of night\, so it tends to balance itself out.\nD20 tends to be a friendly place to play\, and the Two-headed Giants are particularly so.  We have great players who take pride in making other players feel welcome and remembering that it’s a game\, its played for fun.
