Dungeons & Dragons Club!
at Drawing Room
An 8-week D&D campaign.
Build a world, roll the dice, tell the story.
Join us for an eight-week Dungeons & Dragons campaign! Each week, the same small group gathers to build a world together, make questionable decisions, roll some dice, and see what happens next.
No experience needed! We specialize in games that are easy to learn and inclusive of all people. You don’t need to know math, mechanics, or fantasy lore to participate. Instead, all that’s required is curiosity and a willingness to say, “Okay, what happens next?”
This series will involve classic fantasy settings with dragons, goblins, witches, and strange creatures, but the details of the world will take shape through our choices. Note: some of the eight sessions are reserved for one-shots, character building, or crafting!
