Adventure Awaits! Join Our Kids Dungeons & Dragons Session
🏰 Calling all young adventurers! Are you ready to embark on a magical journey full of mystery, monsters, and mayhem? Look no further because our Kids Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Session is here to make your fantasies come to life!
🧙♂️ What is Dungeons & Dragons? Dungeons & Dragons is an exciting and imaginative tabletop role-playing game where you get to become the hero of your own story. It's all about teamwork, creativity, and endless possibilities.
Why Choose Our Kids D&D Session?
🎉 Perfect for Ages 8-15: Our sessions are tailored to young adventurers, making it the ideal starting point for beginners.
🧝♀️ Guided by Expert Dungeon Masters: Our experienced Dungeon Masters will guide you through the world of D&D and help you unleash your creativity.
🧚♂️ Building Friendships: Team up with other kids, solve puzzles, defeat monsters, and forge lasting friendships.
🏡 A World of Imagination: Dive into a world of magic, dragons, and endless adventures.
With a hectic schedule for the upcoming holidays and the short time between our last 5-campaigns and winter break, we will be running one-shot sessions. Unlike an ongoing campaign, these are stories that resolve within one session. Please keep in mind that during these sessions players will need to be flexible with their DMs and other players at the table. From one week to the other, there may be different players at the table and a different DM hosting the session.
We will also do our best to be sure players at the table are with players of the same age group. However, with the nature of scheduling during this time period, we also ask for your flexibility.

Things to Keep in Mind
- Liability Waiver: Parents will need to sign a liability waiver if they would like to leave their child here during the sessions.
- Group Sizes: Our ideal group size for our D&D Sessions is 5. We require at least 3 players to be able to run a 5-week campaign. If we have a request for a friend to join a group that would add a sixth player to the session, we talk this over with the DM first and then inform all parents/guardians about the addition.
- Age appropriateness: We keep our D&D campaigns for kids mild-mannered. However, please keep in mind there is fighting and sometimes violent encounters in the game: "Encounters often take the form of battles with "monsters" – a generic term used in D&D to describe potentially hostile beings such as animals, aberrant beings, or mythical creatures (Wikipedia)."
-
Age Groups: We tend to group our Kids' D&D Sessions based on age. This is more of a recommendation than a hard rule. We may have some overlap in age groups to fill space or to accommodate requests. Please keep this in mind as you sign up for sessions.
- Player Groups: Our Kids D&D Sessions have really grown since we first opened! We want to do everything we can to accommodate players who want to play together. Usually, we can make that happen! However, this requires a bit of flexibility and scheduling compromises for everyone involved including DMs, parents/guardians, players, our store calendar, and our program coordinator. If you have any requests, please let us know and we will do our best to make it happen.
- Three Strikes Rule: Players will have three strikes for following instructions from our staff. The first one is a warning, the second one is a chat with the parent/guardian and/or Dustin (store manager/owner), and the third one is a break from the store.
