August Updates + A Spooky Seat With Your Name On It

Hello friends — it's been a while since we did one of these! A quick update from The Campfire, plus an invite you won’t want to miss.

Join Our Next Campfire Adventure: Lights Out

When: Friday, September 5 at 6:30 pm
Where: East Vancouver pop-up location
Length: ~4 hours
Price: $45 CAD

Email to reserve your seat.

Lights Out is our fey-tinged lighthouse horror: tension, mystery, and reality-bending loops that keep you guessing until the last ember fades. It’s built for cinematic moments and big table reactions, and it plays great whether you’re brand-new to D&D or deep in the hobby.

What you can expect:

• A pro GM guiding a self-contained, complete story in one sitting
• Immersive props, sets, and atmospheric effects tuned for horror
• Clear stakes, smart puzzles, and memorable NPCs
• Everything provided at the table (dice and pre-made characters available)

Seats are limited. If you want in, email to claim your spot for Friday, Sept 5 @ 6:30 pm in East Van.

Campaigns: Full Tables Now, One More on the Horizon

We currently have three campaigns rolling at full seats, and a fourth campaign is hiring. If a longer story is calling your name, we’re putting together a 6‑session arc: same premium table, deeper character journeys, and that “can’t wait for next episode” energy.

Interested in the 6‑session arc? Email us let's get the ball rolling!

Community Growth: Thank You

Thanks to the local D&D community, we’re on track to run 10 sessions across the city this month, continuing steady growth we’ve seen for several months. It’s your word‑of‑mouth, reviews, and friend‑of‑a‑friend referrals that keep the fire burning. Thank you.

Behind the Scenes: Smoother Bookings, Less Admin

We’ve been investing time in automation so you spend less time fiddling and more time adventuring:

• Automatic reminders & booking notifications so you never miss a seat
• Cleaner membership tracking and seat credits
• Payments improvements next, for faster checkout and clearer receipts

The goal is simple: scale The Campfire without drowning in admin, and keep your experience smooth from first click to final roll. The first piece is done, but there is plenty left!

The Table: Built and Waiting 🔧

Our custom table is complete and safely stored in Vancouver while we secure the right space. It’s everything we wanted: massive, immersive, and ready for lights, sound, and all the toys - you can see it in the image a the top! We can’t wait for you to sit at it.
