I Got a Job at a Board Game Café

- This video is a little different than the usual ones. It's kind of a hobby/channel/work update all rolled into one, in that now I work at a new board game café in Citrus Heights, California, (Sacramento area).
The important thing is that now I'll be hosting gaming events, so if you are local, come by, say hi, and maybe check out the store and what we have going on.
It's essentially a large gaming space with a collection of around 800 board games to use. $10 gets you access for the day. Events, like the ones I'm about to describe, cost $15 and include the gaming space entry if you want to stay and game. It is not, in the usual sense, a cafe. We have a concession area, but you really don't want me making your coffee.
Every Sunday I run an introductory Dungeons & Dragons 5e game from 11:00am-2:00pm. It's geared towards new or returning players, with pre-made characters and everything provided. If you like, you can keep going in one of the two ongoing campaigns, either Thursdays from 6:00-9:00pm or Sundays 2:30-5:30pm.
I'm also trying out something new this Saturday (well, old, actually). I'm breaking out the old Marvel Super Heroes Role Playing Game for a game session on June 15 from 11:30am-2:30pm.
And I've also scheduled an event for one of my favorite games, Twilight Imperium, on June 22nd, starting at 11:30am.
On June 28th and July 26th, 5:30-8:30pm, I will be running a Dungeon Master Workshop for new or prospective DMs. We'll be going over the basics of running a role playing game, and then collaboratively making a small adventure.
Finally, on Friday, July 20th, I'll be hosting a game of Betrayal at House on the Hill starting at 11:30am. I've always wanted to learn the game, and this event gives me an excuse to do so.
Not only that, but if there is a game on the channel that you would like to see me run, using my miniatures and everything, I have a new channel email where you can contact me and I can try to set it up. I would love to run events using Warhammer Quest, Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion, Zombicide, Ghostbusters, Blood Bowl, etc.
The new channel email is dmgashbad@gmail.com.
The details of the board game café are as follows:
Galaxy Game Cafe
7700 Sunrise Blvd, Ste 1900
Citrus Heights, CA, USA
Wed-Sun 11-9

So thanks for your time. Leave a comment down below if you have any questions, comments or concerns, or send me an email if that works better. And stop by the store and say hi or tell them DM Gashbad sent you. - Hry
Nice to hear you got a job at a venue like that, sadly I can only dream of having a similar place within anything that resembles a reasonable distance. Hope to see some awesome videos about games at the store, maybe you can rustle up a party for Warhammer Quest, for instance.
I would love to do that. I’ve been collecting models for Vermintide-style characters as well as female variants. Of course, collecting the models is the easy part. What I really should be doing is painting…
Congratulations man! Hope it goes well having someone with your passion for gaming can only be an asset
Thanks. It has taught me that I didn’t know board games as well as I thought I did. There’s a lot of popular stuff that I had never even heard of.
Oh, I remember FASERIP, I also played the Marvel Super Heroes RPG in junior high. We took over the chess club haha
Excellent! Yeah, in junior high it would be hard for chess to compete with MSHRPG.
Congrats!
Consider yourself extremely fortunate. Most people are struggling with jobs they despise. It’s not every day that you can do what you like and get paid for it!
I know what you mean. I did not care for some of my earlier jobs at all. Last year I got a different job, which I absolutely loved, but the whole program got cancelled along with my job. I was pretty sure I wouldn’t find anything I liked as much and would have to go back to my old career. But then this came along. So I do know I have been fortunate.
That’s awesome! Congrats on the new job!
Thanks. I’ll try not to mess it up.
You have one of the most underrated channels. Good luck with the job
Thanks. It’s all part of my plan to lure CZcams into a false sense of security.
Congrats on the new position. I'll probably never be able to come visit since I live in France haha. I am happy that you've got an opportunity to work in an area that you really love.
Thanks. Well, you never know. I somehow found myself in France last summer (and yeah, I went to a bunch of game stores and came back with some nice stuff).
congrats on the new job chap.
Thanks very much. You guys are such a positive community.
I cannot even estimate the number of hours I spent on the Marvel Superheroes game. I still own all the books. Such good times from...Junior High! LOL! Good luck on the new job.
Thanks. I am happy to say the game did happen, and the system is about as awesome and stupid as I remember. The partially-randomly generated superhero team of Titanmaster, The Evening Highlander and Goldpants were able to foil the nefarious plot of Infernal Monologue.
This is super cool
Thanks. It is going pretty well so far.
Good luck, Bad.
Thanks, I think. I assume bro got autocorrected to bad. Either that or it’s a very zen cosmic balance sentiment.
I still have all my Marvel Super Heroes sourcebooks. I do love that game. Need to get a campaign running again.
Nice. I think I lost most of my original books when my backpack got stolen a couple decades ago. Still, it was nice to get back to it, easy to prep for. It’s weird that a MSHRPG stat block for a supervillain is smaller than a goblin’s stat block in D&D 5e.
Oh gods, now I have a reason to actually venture into the hellhole that is Commiefornia, if I ever visit the US.
No thank you. Stay away.
Humbly, I would suggest there may be a few things more interesting than myself if planning a trip here. Just so you are not disappointed, maybe visit Disneyland first. Or Yosemite, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, San Diego Comic Con, the giant sequoias, etc. Then I won’t feel like I have the pressure of holding up an entire trip.
@@dmgashbad4908 I was joking my man. Theres a few areas in CA I want to see anyway, mainly the National parks, but dropping by to see you in person would be cool as hel.
That is awesome, congratulations!! I am in Scandinavia so a bit away.. but if I was in the area, i would pop in! And who knows, maybe one day. Good luck there!
I am old fashioned, well, but i like e-mail too.. lol
This is how old fashioned I am: I miss internet forums. Everything like Discord, Twitter, Pinterest, etc. just seem like forums that don’t work as well.
But thanks, and if you ever do stop by, I’ll be the old guy that looks about two generations removed from Scandinavia.
@@dmgashbad4908 Haha,. :D
I agree though. Actually having a topic section from other discussions. How did that become less popular over all discussions at the same time?? I don´t get it
