I’ve Always Wanted to Play Dungeons & Dragons:


A Three-Hour Fantasy Role-Playing Game Experience

Practice your spellcasting and dice rolling skills, sharpen your swords and your minds, and strap on your adventuring boots — we’re going to learn how to play Dungeons & Dragons. In this one-off session for beginners, Ethan will introduce the fundamentals of the venerable table top role-playing game D&D, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. 

Players will learn about characters and how to role-play them, and how to work together as a team to respond to the challenges devised by the Dungeon Master. Will you complete your quest? How will it turn out? The only way to know is to try out D&D for yourself and help tell the story together. Come with an open mind and expect to journey through a fantasy realm full of elves, dwarves, magic, goblins, dragons and dungeons (of course) and other dangers. Everything you need to play — polyhedral dice, character sheets and Doritos and Mountain Dew — will be provided (but feel free to bring other provisions).

NOTE: We will be using a customized, streamlined version of D&D to focus on basics and having fun, rather than getting bogged down in rules. The session is not intended for experienced players, who may find the rules too simple.

Location: In person only in Boston and Providence.

Group size: 2 to 8 adventurers.
