About the event
This is a beginners/learners event for those interested in Dungeons and Dragons, whether from hearing about/listening/seeing it online, through Baldur's Gate, Stranger Things or just always wanted to see what all the fuss was! Our session runs 6-10pm, I know that sounds a lot but the time flies over, honestly.
D&D is a Role-Playing Game (you might say THE Role-Playing Game), where one person - the DM or Dungeon Master - played here by me, DM Alice - unfolds a story of adventure that all the players take part in, shape and contribute to.
This session introduces you to the basics - you need bring nothing more than some paper, a pencil and your imagination... Want a bit more? The three main pillars of D&D play are social interaction, exploration, and combat. Whichever one you’re experiencing, the game unfolds according to this basic pattern:
The Dungeon Master Describes a Scene. The DM tells the players where their adventurers are and what’s around them (how many doors lead out of a room, what’s on a table, and so on).
The Players Describe What Their Characters Do. Typically, the characters stick together as they travel through a dungeon or another environment. Sometimes different adventurers do different things: one adventurer might search a treasure chest while a second examines a mysterious symbol engraved on a wall and a third keeps watch for monsters. Outside combat, the DM ensures that every character has a chance to act and decides how to resolve their activity. In combat, the characters take turns.
The DM Narrates the Results of the Adventurers’ Actions. Sometimes resolving a task is easy. If an adventurer walks across a room and tries to open a door, the DM might say the door opens and describe what lies beyond. But the door might be locked, the floor might hide a trap, or some other circumstance might make it challenging for an adventurer to complete a task. In those cases, the DM might ask the player to roll a die to help determine what happens. Describing the results often leads to another decision point, which brings the game back to step 1.
