Guided Game Night and Dinner for Beginners Friday D&D - Southbank

Beginner Dungeons & Dragons Night (No Experience Needed + Dinner)

This event is a guided game session for beginners with dinner afterwards. An awesome way to use a Friday Evening with Dinner and Laughs.

This night is best for people who love fantasy, games and anime. It's cooperative, creative, and relaxed.

Come along, meet others, play and learn, and see whether Dungeons & Dragons is something you'd enjoy.

I've worked out a 10% discount for tonight, so it's an awesome opportunity to grab some Vietnamese food and ice coffee while we play.

First session is 100% free for new attendees, and serves as an introduction to the game and the Ludos Guild.

If your interested in continuing, you'll be able to jump on a Beginner Call with me (Jope) and I'll talk you through the program; the expanded characters you can play, magic items and even connect you with other friendly members of the group (this group is 2yrs old, just this event is new)

If you decide it's a good fit, you'll have the opportunity to continue. There's no obligation to continue—you're welcome to simply enjoy your first session and decide afterwards.

Your Game Host teaches everything, so no experience or preparation is needed. see you guys soon :)

We are turning this nook of Southbank into a fantasy nook, nerdy hangout and relaxed dinner. Starting with Friday Night.

Frequently Asked Questions... 🕵️‍♂

Won't everyone else already know each other?
The only people who know each other are the Dungeon Masters leading each table. We don't allow groups to attend these nights, so at most there is a duo coming who already know each other. Everyone and you are super new to this

Will I be the only girl at the event?
No, our events are generally 3:1 ratio, most tables I have seen are 2 girls and 4 guys. no promises on any individual night, but you'll find it doesn't impact your enjoyment

I'm worried I might slow everyone else down?
Not true, pre-filled character sheets take much of the guess work out of learning the game, and the GMs have all taught tens to hundreds of people this game
The only thing you'll want to remember is the "D20", a twenty sided dice is always used to resolve actions, whether it's picking a pocket, striking a wicked goblin or recalling history on a forgotten ruin
Ok, your basically ready now. seriously
Don't believe me? Come and find out for yourself

I'm worried I might be too old/too young for this?
so here's what you'll want to know. we usually see attendees anywhere from 19-49 years of age
normally it's 25-35ish as we often curate out events for young professionals and established professionals working locally
But I'll say this: if you get along with a mature audience of respectful people who can collaborate together - you're in for a good time
