120 minutesCurious about Dungeons and Dragons? Give it a try with this one-session-long adventure for beginners!
D&D is a popular fantasy role-playing game in which your characters explore, solve puzzles, and fight or outwit monsters. Learn the basic rules of this popular game as you undertake an adventure with fellow players!
This adventure uses pre-generated characters, so you must register at least 5 days ahead of time to bid of your preference of character and get your info sheet before game-day. Late registrants will be assigned a random character.
Ages 12-18
Note: this session is a repeat of the adventure played on October 16th, so if you played that session, please do not register for this session - it would be less fun knowing the puzzles and enemies ahead of time. Give other beginners a chance to learn, and stay tuned for a new game coming up later!
