Dungeons & Dragons Experience - First Watch

📢 Due to popular demand, a brand-new session has opened up!

Our D&D nights have been selling out, so from Sunday 1st November we’re launching First Watch, a brand-new daytime session in both The Tavern and The Graveyard. 🎲

This is an event you do not want to miss! 🎲
You’re not sitting at a plastic table in a community centre. You’re stepping aboard a hand-built 17th-century pirate ship in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia. Candles flicker. Skull glassware gleams. Over 400 rum expressions line the barrel walls. And this afternoon, the tavern is alive with something darker… and far more fun.

Two tables. Two Game Masters. Two cursed tales. 🏴☠️🪦
This is no ordinary D&D session. Our Game Masters don’t just run the game, they immerse you in the story itself. Alongside your party, you’ll journey through the cursed lands of Vespera, battle terrifying foes and uncover the long-buried secrets of this world.

Both adventures are gothic horror one-shots set in Rathkarah, Rhum Tavern’s original homebrew world, created by lead Game Master and writer Alexandria McCauley (@thechaoticgoblin). Step into a land of curses, forgotten history and ancient horrors, where you may discover that the greatest terrors are not always the ones waiting in the darkness, but those within ourselves.

🍺 THE TAVERN: Chapter 2: The Blackwood Inn
Game Master: Alexandria McCauley (@thechaoticgoblin)

Adventurers find themselves in one of the most notorious provinces of Vespera: the Blackwood Marches. Known for its ever-growing wilderness and rumours of witchcraft, it’s where your party has been called by an old friend with information they think you should have.

But the harvest moon is fast approaching… and who knows what will happen at the Blackwood Inn during the Witching Hour.

⚰️ THE GRAVEYARD: The Rise of the Corpse King: Mysteries of The Hollow Vale
Game Master: @edsflood

Deep within the mist-shrouded lands of the Hollow Vale lies the forgotten town of Morr Hollow. Once a thriving community and sacred pilgrimage site, it now endures as an isolated settlement, haunted by the echoes of a fallen age.

For the first time in centuries, the bells of Saint Veyre have begun to toll once more. As fear spreads through Morr Hollow, a single rumour passes from trembling lips to listening ears: The Corpse King Rises Again.

Called to uncover the truth, adventurers from across Vespera arrive at Morr Hollow, only to discover that some things buried beneath the earth were never truly laid to rest.
