From Empty Weekends to Weekly Hangouts
Melbourne’s lockdowns, I felt isolated.
I worked a lot. I stayed home. I didn’t go out, and I don’t drink.
Most weekends felt empty, listening to podcasts and or playing video games every night and weekend.
Then I started playing a D&D game, once a week with a small group of friends.
We laughed. We told stories. We had something to look forward to.
It became the highlight of my week.
I created the Ludos Guild to build a network of people who enjoy high quality structured role-play game experiences, to bring the same opportunities for excitement and fellowship to others.
If that sounds like something you'd like, you’re welcome to join us, we run intro sessions to D&D on saturdays - those will be your best chance to meet others, and be invited to join our fellowship.
