Estimated Arrival: Between Jan 22 and Jan 24. *ETA to USA Only
If the current session you are interested in, is sold out, add "Wait List" to your cart, and we will reach out to you.
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NEED TO CONFIRM WITH US BEFORE SIGNING UP SINCE SPACE IS LIMITED. This is because coordinating DMs, schedules, players, and our store calendar is a juggling act and we want to ensure we have everything lined up before you purchase your punch card.
This is a punch card for five Dungeons & Dragons sessions for your child. These can be redeemed for any of our Dungeons & Dragons for Kids sessions-- pending availability.
Note: Although we call it a punch card, your session attendance is tracked in our system not on a physical punch card.

How do we sign up and get started?
IMPORTANT: Because coordinating DMs, schedules, players, and our store calendar is a juggling act it is important you check with us to ensure we have a space for you before purchasing your punch card.
Purchase a 5-session punch card for the D&D sessions by selecting the campaign in the dropdown menu. See above what campaigns we currently have available.
We will track your punches in our system in the store.
What if we cannot make it to a session?
If you cannot make it to a session, no worries! You will not lose a punch, unless it is your first session. We ask that your reservation for the first session serves as a deposit for your punch card. This way we can ensure that we can have a DM available to start the campaign. Otherwise, if you miss a future session you can carry over your punches to future D&D campaigns hosted by other DMs.
And if you do not plan to continue with our D&D sessions in the future you can also redeem the punch as store credit too!
If we have to cancel a session for whatever reason on our end, we will offer you a full refund for that session ($19.99). Or if you prefer, you can choose to apply your punch to a future session or redeem it as store credit.
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 6. 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 seventh 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.
Who are our DMs?
Todd
Todd has been running games of Dungeons and Dragons since 2010. Beginning their journey with D&D, Todd also enjoys Call of Cthulhu, Shadowrun, Fiasco, and other tabletop role playing games.Todd loves a good mystery, and their favorite part of running RPGs is giving players exactly what they asked for (typically in the most convoluted way possible.) Primarily serving as a Dungeon Master, when they aren’t behind the screen, Todd loves playing out whatever hijinks a Warlock or Rogue can get themselves into.
Violet
Violet has over 12 years of experience DM-ing games and organizing D&D tables for game stores, conventions, and events including D&D celebration, San Diego Comic Con, and other local LA experiences. She has been a guest on Dragon Talk, the official D&D podcast, for her work consulting for a TV show on incorporating D&D, and has run games at a live-streamed event at the Getty. She has also worked 6 years as a science teacher and has even longer experience in education working with organizations since her college years to provide SAT resources and college counseling to high schoolers with less opportunities than their peers. She believes strongly in inclusion and equity and tries to advocate for it in all facets of her life.
Terra
Terra has been working in child development for a decade. As a childcare professional, she has acted as a babysitter, tutor, coach, and afterschool on-site mentor. She's a huge TTRPG fan and has been playing D&D since middle school. With experience in debate and sports, she focuses on creating a positive social environment where kids can express themselves, have fun, and learn communication skills.
Dustin
Dustin is the owner of BGE's Tabletop and has been using game-based learning and gamification in his career as an educator from the very first year he stepped into a classroom in South Korea. Since then, creating engaging environments for learning and developing soft skills has become his passion-- hence the game store! He has been DM-ing for a couple of years and introduces new players to D&D every week!
