Learn to Play DREAD with Hey, Sit Down! Productions

DREAD is a rules-light, easy to learn TTRPG system built around a Jenga tower: pull blocks to determine failures and successes, but don’t send the whole thing toppling down or you’ll risk your character’s demise! Join Hey, Sit Down!, a team of improvisers and performers who produce monthly DREAD actual play show live at Chicago’s iO Theater, to learn to play this awesome system the HSD way!

No experience needed. HSD’s game masters will supply the Jenga blocks and all you’ll need for character creation — just bring yourself! Open to all; $10 gaming fee for Athena Board Game Cafe required.
