The Butcher’s masquerade
When the dungeon throws a party. Try not to die on the dance floor.
The Butcher’s Masquerade is a Halloween dance party inspired by Dungeon Crawler Carl, the beloved LitRPG series by Matt Dinniman.
In Book 5, the Butcher’s Masquerade is a peace-sealed ball held in the depths of the sixth floor: a grand, dangerous event where the most powerful crawlers alive eat, dance, and wait for everything to explode.
We’re bringing those vibes to Wicked Eden for a night of costumes, dancing, dungeon photo ops, strange drinks, a charity raffle, and Halloween chaos.
No spectators. Everyone is a crawler tonight. One night on the sixth floor!

HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES
Our community thrives in a space where countless delightful interactions could happen, but none are obligated to occur. Think of it as “high possibility, low expectations.” Outside of our general requirements of respect, you are under no obligation to interact with anyone in any particular way. This makes our space ideal for new faces and seasoned community members alike.
HIGH POTENTIAL, NO PRESSURES
Our events aren’t the product of one person hosting a party for pay; they’re the result of a community coming together and creating something new. Everyone who attends is expected to co-create: money, time, energy, enthusiasm, work, intention, example, concern and/or awareness. Have ideas, games, art, music to share? Want to bring them to life with us?
A FOUNDATION OF TRUST
Our gatherings are magical because of trust. We fiercely protect each member’s privacy, encourage honest risk communication, and take diligent care of our shared environments. It’s our collective respect and integrity that fortify this safe space.
CLEAR AND PRESENT CONSENT
Upholding consent goes beyond preventing harm; it’s about affirming everyone’s freedom to fully and joyfully agree to their interactions. It’s through this affirmation that our spaces thrive with genuine, unreserved participation.
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
We’re committed to inclusivity. Our community is a tapestry of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, and social backgrounds, including all gender identities and expressions. We encourage everyone to engage with empathy and curiosity, always asking rather than assuming someone’s identity or preferences.
Our space is and always will be wheelchair accessible, with multiple spaces for varying sensory needs.
