About this Event
Please note that anyone who orders food or drinks at any venue where our games are hosted will need to pay for what they order before leaving the venue. Also, any door fees or stay and play fees will need to be paid by each individual person before leaving the venues. If you can't afford to order anything, you can ask the servers for free water and eat or drink anything else at home before or after the games.
This is a D&D 5e character creation session aimed at welcoming new players into the D&D world, experienced players can also join the fun and create their very own character.
For anyone who is new to D&D, it's best if each person has their own Players Handbook, blank character sheet and pencil when attending these character creation sessions, although items can sometimes be shared around the table. We do ask that anything borrowed is returned before leaving the venue. The Wizards.com web site provides free electronic versions of everything a new player needs, you can have the free information with you at these sessions if you don't have a Players Handbook.
All ages are welcome, minors must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.
When you arrive at the venue, please ask the staff which tables are for the D&D group. Also, note that no food or drinks can be brought into these venues and there may be door fees.
Character races, classes, backgrounds, equipment, etc, can be from any of the 5e books published by Wizards. Starting stats are point buy or standard array on page 13 of the Players Handbook.
Any players who are looking for a table to play at can reserve a ticket at the monthly introductory games. You can also join an ongoing campaign, to find out if any tables have space for someone new to join, please check our events, talk with people around the room or post a message in our online spaces.

Most of our tables have regular players in ongoing campaigns. There is usually space somewhere for a new player, but there might be a waiting list if you want to join an established table. If all of the tables are full when you check, we are a very dynamic group and seats may open up, so please check again in a few weeks.
If no seats are open at our established tables, we can help you to start being a dm at your own table. You can also start a table where each player takes a turn dming a session. Let us know if you need a hand with that.
Please remember to reserve a ticket with each event that you plan to attend. A ticket is needed to guarantee your spot in case there is a waiting list. Also, please cancel your ticket if it turns out that you can't make it to the game to allow someone waiting for a seat to have a turn. For these introductory games, we also use the rsvp system to plan how many dms will need to be onsite when the game starts. Even though there is only 1 event for each introductory game session, players may need to split up between multiple tables as the games start.
Let us know if you have any questions.
