[In-Person] D&D 5e Open game for Beginners

IMPORTANT: Please read the rules at the end of this description.

Curious about Dungeons & Dragons but not sure where to start? This in-person, beginner-friendly game is for all genders who want a relaxed, welcoming introduction to D&D 5e (specifically 2014 edition) —no experience required.

We’ll be playing a short, guided level 2 to 3 adventure focused on collaboration, creativity, and fun. Rules will be explained as we go, pre-generated (level 2) characters will be available, and there’s no pressure to perform or “get it right.”

If you have your own level 2 or 3 character, feel free to bring them as long as they use the 2014 Player’s Handbook only (no optional features or additional sourcebooks) and start with a standard array.

All materials provided; however, you are encouraged to bring your own dice sets, minis, pens/pencils, paper, etc. if you have any.

I prioritize new and newer players. If you’ve been attending for over a year or regularly play in other weekly public 5e games, you may be moved to make room for newcomers.

Table Rules & Safety

• This table is intentionally run as a respectful, inclusive safe space. I use simple safety tools and table rules to ensure everyone feels comfortable. Player comfort and enjoyment come first.
• If you conduct yourself in a manner that makes the DM or your fellow players uncomfortable or unsafe, you will be asked to leave. Depending on the severity of the misbehavior(s), you may be banned from my tables and/or the Meetup group.
• Attendees will only be accepted with at least a first name (not a username) and a recognizable profile photo (no AI-generated photo), no exceptions. Profiles marked as “Going” that don’t comply will be changed to “Not Going.”

RSVP Rules

• RSVPs open up 1 week in advance
• RSVPs will close 48 hours before the event. Anyone still on the waitlist at that time will be moved to “Not Going.”
• Please keep your RSVP up to date. If you're on the Wait List and make other plans, be sure to change your RSVP.
• I won't message you to confirm that you're attending. If you no-show or cancel your "Going" status within 48 hours, you may be removed from future events (I may be more lenient towards those who've consistently attended before). Please only RSVP if you’re confident you can attend.

Feel free to ask any questions you have!
