SUMMARY:D&D Open Session Novo mesto: Stormy Voyage
DESCRIPTION:The Amulet D20 group invites you to a Dungeons & Dragons open session titled Stormy Voyage\, which will take place on Saturday\, 20 June 2026 at 16:00 at Goga Bookstore and Café\, Glavni trg\, Novo mesto. \nThe crew has been trapped aboard a ship for three weeks\, where seemingly nothing is happening – only the long wait for arrival at their destination\, although at least another week of sailing still lies ahead. The monotony of everyday life is becoming increasingly exhausting\, and the crew longs for something to break the routine. But storm clouds are gathering on the horizon – do they signal change? \nThe session is suitable for both beginners and experienced players. It is designed for a group of 3 to 5 players at level 3. Participants may prepare their own character in advance\, choose from pre-generated characters\, or ask the Dungeon Master (DM) for assistance in creating a character during the session. \nThe game is played using the Dungeons & Dragons 5e (2014) system. \nRegistration is available via the link. \nEvent website.

SUMMARY:Metal Night: Bratva x Edge of Sins x Godzilla
DESCRIPTION:LokalPatriot invites visitors to a metal night featuring Bratva x Edge of Sins x Godzilla\, which will also mark the presentation of Bratva’s debut album and bring together the new Balkan metal band Bratva with guest acts Edge of Sins and Godzilla. The event will take place on Saturday\, 20 June 2026\, at 8.30 pm at the LokalPatriot youth club. \nBratva present themselves as a raw and untamed Balkan metal project\, characterised by heavy seven-string guitar riffs and a strong Balkan melodic influence. Their music combines tradition and brutality\, delivering an intense sonic experience designed not as background music\, but as a direct\, physical impact on the listener. \nEdge of Sins is a Slovenian metal band active since 2012\, known for their conceptual approach and socially critical themes. After several line-up changes\, the band reformed at the end of 2025 and is currently preparing a new studio album\, continuing their musical journey in a heavier and more expressive direction. \nGodzilla are the youngest band of the evening\, consisting of teenage musicians presenting themselves as part of the new generation of Slovenian heavy metal. Their repertoire includes covers of metal classics as well as original songs that reflect their worldview and youthful energy. \nThe event is aimed at fans of heavier music styles\, offering high energy\, raw sound\, and three distinct yet connected metal stories. Tickets will be available in advance for 8 EUR and 10 EUR on the day of the event. \nEvent website.
