I would say the most important thing is to make sure that you'll be as engaged as possible with the DM and the players, and that the focus should be on having a great group experience! For the game itself, having a basic idea of what type of character you'd like to play is always helpful. Do you imagine your character as a fighter, spell caster, holy warrior, etc. You don't need to have a fully fleshed out backstory, but having a basic one helps in the roleplay experience!

Currently no, there aren't any sessions that are catered towards kids/teens, but that doesn't mean we're not able to! There has been a couple of instances where a group wanted to set something up at the store (like a one off event/private event) and that was something we were able to accommodate. I'd recommend emailing the events manager, they'll be able to give you more info about it!

Unfortunately, no. All of the games run there are 5e, but I wouldn't rule out that there would be people interested in giving 1e/2e a shot!

If you have no experience playing DnD, then I would actually recommend checking out the Beginner DnD sessions that they also run on Wednesday nights! Once you get a feel for the game and if you want to continue playing, then I'd recommend checking out the next mini-campaign when we enter the next one in the series (about 4-5 weeks from now).

Almost everybody I’ve played with is in their 20s and 30s, with the occasional university student and OG player who was around during those founding years of DnD. I wouldn’t worry about what you think you look like, we’re just happy to have people who share our love for DnD and tabletop!
