For your first session online, it’s important that you’re on time and have plenty of enthusiasm to play a game with (yet to be) friends.
The session usually takes place on Discord and Roll20 where you’ll meet the DM and other players. If you’ve made a character you’ll be able to send it to your DM.
The number of players will range between 3-5. More than this would be too taxing for the DM. Sessions usually take between 3-4 hours.
We recommend that you play from a location where you aren’t interrupted or might have sounds clutter the voice chat during the session.
The price will depend on the amount of preparation and/or items your DM needs to run the session.
Usually a session can cost somewhere between € 10,- and € 30,- per person depending on these factors. We do offer a € 5,- discount if it’s your first session with us.
For in-person sessions we’ll also offer beverages that you may drink during the sessions, but you’re more than welcome to bring your own food and/or drink if you prefer.
Plenty of players are new to the game and you can learn the basics of the game in no time.
In general you’ll get to partake in a story in which you explore areas of a world, socialise with whomever you like and partake in battles against a wide variety of enemies.
By telling your DM before the session that you’re new to the game, they’ll be able to instruct you on the basics of the game. The only thing you need to do is to describe to your DM what your character wants to do in the story.

We don’t recommend making an evil character to play for new players, as that might cause trouble. But experienced players that have discussed it with their DM’s might get approved to use them.
Some sessions might have restrictions on classes, races or other details, but this will always be described in the session description when clicking the blue “more” button under any given session.
Other than that, any character that has been made using the published D&D books from Wizards of the Coast will usually be accepted. Tools like D&D Beyond make it easy to build a character using these books, and for your DM to check them.

For your first in-person session, it’s important that you arrive on time to the location and have plenty of enthusiasm to play a game with (yet to be) friends.
Once you arrive you’ll get to meet the DM and the other players and choose one of the pre-made characters to play yourself. Or show them your character, if you’ve made one.
The number of players will range between 3-6. More than this will be too taxing for the DM. A session usually takes between 3-4 hours.
Drinks might be provided (depending on the DM), but feel free to bring some snacks and drinks to enjoy during the session.

Absolutely not!
The majority of players come alone and that’s completely fine. Whether you’re shy or an easy talker, everyone is welcome at all sessions. We’re there to give everyone a good time.
Of course you’re allowed to bring friends, family or significant others with you, provided that they also booked a spot for the session. But D&D is also a fun activity to play with strangers, who will quite often become your friends through playing the game.
No problem!
When you start to play D&D, it can be hard to decide how you like to portray your character, or how to react to the almost endless variety of situations.
If you have a hard time thinking of ways to react to something while playing, the DM can always help you out, and often other players will also be more than happy to give a helping hand.
Over time you’ll feel more and more comfortable with making your own decisions and you’ll often get a better idea of how you’d like your character to be portrayed. So don’t worry if it isn’t smooth sailing from the get go.
This differs for in-person or online sessions.
For in-person sessions you can bring your own character, dice, mini’s or a D&D book (all optional). Is this your first time playing D&D, you don’t have to make a character yourself, you can use a pre-built character that has been prepared by your DM instead.
For online sessions you’ll need to prepare your character. We recommend D&D Beyond to make one, other ways of making a character with published content are also accepted.
And it’s always possible to bring friends, as long as they have booked for the session.

D&D is an open-ended role-playing game in which almost everything is possible.
It can be played indoors sitting around a table, or online.
The narrator of the story is the Dungeon Master (DM) who creates a world around the players, controlling each player character (PC) that makes choices in the story that unfolds.
The PC’s can form a ‘party’ of adventurers, often members have their own specialty which contributes to the success of the whole.
But you can also just have fun with the group with your own whacky ideas.
