This is the listing for our IN-PERSON version of this event - we are also holding an online version organised via our Discord server!
If you want to take part online, please sign up to that event instead.
Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is perhaps the most popular Tabletop Roleplaying Game (RPG) of all time. If you have ever been interested in trying out RPGs, including D&D, this is your chance! Tabletop RPGs are something of a precursor to modern-day videogames, where a group of friends gather around a table to experience and interact with a thrilling story devised by a Game Master (GM). The GM for the group will guide the players through a story they themselves created, whilst facilitating any interactions they wish to make with the world within the story.
This session is a "one-shot" - in other words, a one off, self-contained story is told in each game. Our typical sessions are "campaigns" - where the story continues over many sessions/weeks over the year. As such, this is by far the best chance to try an RPG without an extended commitment. All you need is a good imagination - complete newcomers are very welcome! Your GM will be able to guide you through how to play.
Various games will be running so there will be something for everyone. Genres played in the past year include fantasy, Star Wars, cyberpunk, Weird West (wild west, with demons and magic), superheroes and much more besides.
You must sign up for this main event, and then on Monday 20th you’ll be able to sign up for individual games in small groups (of usually 4-6 players + a GM)! If you do not sign up to this event, you cannot take part.
This event is for games that will be taking place on campus (this requires you to follow our in-person event rules, see below), but we are also running some games which are online-only for those that cannot make it to campus, or who do not wish to/cannot attend in-person sessions. If you want to play online, instead sign up to the online event listing.
