About the event

Join 5 Beginners for a night of Teamwork, Problem-solving and Hijinx in Dungeons and Dragons. Turn an Empty Saturday Night into Meeting Five New People. It's an exciting trial night that we've been running for about 2 years, so we got good at it. There will be plenty of opportunies for chats, eats, photos, costumes and toys. Dungeons and Dragons is a relaxed role-play game; part boardgame and part improv with dice. Unlike most boardgames, it involves more talking with the other players about situation you'll be placed in. When you arrive you will be greeted at the door, and you'll be able to chat and ask questions with the lead host. Afterwards you will be assigned a group of other beginners who arrived alone, and get a chance to meet them and your Game Master before the game begins. Each game is a unique story, with props and pieces provided for by your Game Master host. You will love this if: • You want to make friends at a relaxed/creative game night • You like fantasy stories, novels, video games, anime and the like • You work your job a lot and want an exciting, fulfilling social hangout on your off time • You got to Melbourne less than 2 years ago, and have experienced how hard it is to make friends down here *(We've all been there*) 82% of all Ludos Guild Members fit this description exactly, with the other 18% missing only one of these 4 traits. If this fits you, I'm even more excited to show the game that changed everything for me. This night was made for you:) But tonight, exclusive to first timers, it is 100% free, my gift to you. If at any point in the night, You feel like this game is for you and you want to join more. There will be an opportunity to buy the program at an 80% discount. Afterwards, if we still think your a great fit, you will be welcome to join the ludos guild as a member, and join our private events, including the Fellowship campaigns, guided painting nights, and other social events. Cya soon Jope, GM of Ludos Guild Frequently Asked Question (or just message Jope your Q's) How "beginner" is beginner? • You've played a few times and have the gist of it? that's okay. • You've never played at all? that's okay. • You've played up to a level 5 sorcerer with 2 levels in warlock so you could burn the short rest warlock spell slots for the font of magic sorcerer points? You ain't a beginner! But shoot your shot, I might just expidite you to the main group:) I'm worried I'll slow people down if I don't pick up the game quick enough... Don't be! Our game night is only for beginners and we've taught hundreds of people this game, we wouldn't expect you to fully remember every detail in one session. But you'll definitely be able to enjoy yourself. I'm worried I'll be the only girl there... No problems, I usually see 30% to 50% of our attendees are woman. I can't guarantee this on any given night, or any given group. But you'll find that the environment is super welcoming to all, and it wont effect your enjoyment of the game: (As with all concerns, if something makes you uncomfortable at an event let Jope know How old are the other attendees? I don't want to be the only "old person"/"young person" there... Great question, no one wants to be the odd Ione out in their group. We usually get attendees anywhere from 22-49 with a pretty mixed crowd. I can't make any promises on any given day, but the Ludos Guild has a 80% young-to-mature professional demographic with the remaining 20% older/retired and uni graduates Will everyone already know each other? Nope. Sometimes we get couples/duos. Only the game masters really know each other. We also like to break clicks here. You might be wandering why the group has 2000 people yet no one knows each other? Thats because people either left, or they moved on to join Ludos Guild and are playing D&D right now in semi-permement groups: I might potentially show up late - should I just miss out instead? Message Jope as early as possible about being late. We can…
