About us
We've taught Dungeons & Dragons to 100s of absolute beginners for 10+ years, for free. Meet in realspace for collaborative storytelling, chat, imagine, thrill, and laugh together.
Our “Courage & Chaos” series kicks off each year with a simple introduction to D&D, followed by fortnightly sessions around the table. After you graduate from that series, you will be ready to play D&D anywhere, with anyone!
Our pub meetups are a great way to meet new friends, form your own parties, and build experience beyond the beginner level.
We occasionally host workshops for those who want to lead their own D&D party—the leader is called a Dungeon Master, and it’s easy to do. We’ll show you the way.
We actively include people of all kinds and promote a respectful attitude among all our players. We especially take pride in gender diversity—both in and out of character!

Learn to play Dungeons & Dragons in a sunny park - for absolute beginners
Centenary Aquatic Centre and Health Club, 400 Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill, AUWe invite everyone to play around & find out* how much fun and solidarity comes from playing together at a table in a beautiful park.
Find out how to play Dungeons & Dragons with beginners. Find out how to run D&D yourself, to form new groups and friendships. All for free with nothing to bring.
Lifelong game designer Matthew Ford will teach absolute beginners how to play D&D, and continue with beginner-level play. All materials are supplied for you to play. Nothing to bring or prepare. Come as you are, even if you know absolutely nothing about it. We welcome absolutely everyone and ensure a supportive and inclusive atmosphere. We've face-to-face taught games to over 1000 people of every kind-- join us!
We will never cancel due to weather-- we have a rain shelter! Prepare for heat but we will have a sun shade set up if it's sunny and hot. RSVP to this event to hear about any changes to the directions or times.
Find us outside at a park bench near the Centenary Aquatic Centre in Spring Hill: https://maps.app.goo.gl/zoedZcCZ2TiWJoeC9 . More advanced play will be centered at Ibis Island-- you will see other events that guide you there later. I will be there, or at least as close to our spot as possible, regardless of any conditions of any kind.
* Bonus info for all who care: As stadium developers approach Ibis Island, the heart of Victoria Park, they will find out how much our community values this special place. Two promise-breaking Olympic stadiums are slated to be built in Victoria Park, threatening Ibis Island and our gaming community. Let's help them find out why they had better leave that spot untouched. Our weekly event series is a spark. Join us so we can all build a fire.
PAFO is not run by www.savevictoriapark.com but that's a good way to learn more.
Hey stadium developers, here we are! Play Around and Find Out! :)

Learn to play Earthborne Rangers for 2032 Olympics
Centenary Aquatic Centre and Health Club, 400 Gregory Terrace, Spring Hill, AUWe invite everyone to play around & find out* how much fun and solidarity comes from playing together at a table in a beautiful park.
Find out how to play a co-operative board game with other absolute beginners. Prepare for the 2032 Olympic Board Games— you might join a team or cheer them on! All for free with nothing to bring.
Earthborne Rangers (ER) excels with its initial simplicity and elegant depth. You explore a world with optimistic “solarpunk” themes as you work as a team to succeed together. It's like Dungeons & Dragons but a nice change from grim dungeon-crawling and disaster-fighting, and has more structure, less improvisation. Learn more about ER here.
Lifelong game designer Matthew Ford will teach absolute beginners. All materials are supplied for you to play. The first half gives you the general idea. After a short break you can continue into more depth for the next half. You will get invited to events for continued intermediate play — whether you want to go for the gold on our final team, or just squad up to improve each other.
