Adventure Awaits
Saturday, June 13th 2026
5pm-12am
A Secret Venue in Downtown Manhattan

Greetings, hero! I see that look in your eye. That lust for adventure. That drive for glory. We welcome you to accept your destiny, throw caution to the wind, and follow your quest fever! Welcome to Dungeons and Debauchery. The D&D themed play party you’ve all been waiting for. Nerds rejoice, this one is for you.
Together we will lay dragons, struggle against overwhelming odds, and meet lords, ladies, and theydies, who will surely test our charisma. We shall perform daring heists and feats of… dexterity. Perhaps we will summon strength from a greater power to help our friends and lovers. Perhaps we shall forge bonds never to be forgotten. Perhaps we shall leave changed forever.
There will be games–there will be quests–there will be loot. We will also have several D&D-themed raffle prizes, with proceeds going directly to the continued funding of Eutopia Rising.
Come as whatever kind of adventurer you are. Come as goblins, mind-flayers, demons or mimics (we will be impressed). Break out your ren faire gear, strap on your sword* and get ready to roll for initiative.
This will be a party for all levels of experience, but if you have been curious to try a play party and you enjoy games and being a big ol’ nerd, we encourage you to let this be your first experience! We are very friendly and there will be lots of fun ways to break the ice with your fellow adventurers and get your feet (and maybe other parts) wet.
So the only question that remains is…
How do you want to do this?
*Hey y’all. Please don’t bring any metal swords to this party or any gear that could be dangerous. We do of course welcome foam and rubber “swords” of all kinds. Thank you!

NEVER SURRENDER is a recurring party that has taken several forms over several years, both live and virtual. We currently gather every other month as long as desire and circumstance permit.
We are a place to play, to feel safe, and to reconnect. We are a chill space for good times with good people. We are queer-centered, gender-extravagant, and wholesome as fuck. We are a party and a protest, a ritual and a revel. We are a circle of love spitting naked defiance at a world in crisis.
Make loud noises. Leave lipstick traces. Make memories. Talk, play, show off, or just be a witness to the magic. Come as whatever gender you are, wear whatever makes you happy.
We have a big, beautiful space to spread out in, with an open floor and lots of furniture to have fun with! Lots of beds, furniture, lush lighting, and clean facilities. And a quiet room to chill.

At 6:00 we will kick off the welcome circle and get acquainted, so you don’t want to miss it. It’s an opportunity to introduce yourself, share your intentions, and put your hopes out there. Then we set the scene: chat, exchange saucy compliments, dance, be bravely social. Get close, get friendly, maybe try out something new. There’s no pressure to do anything other than what feels right for you.
