Beginners Guided Game: Dungeons and Dragons - Only 18 Seats - Saturday
Sat, Aug 22, 7:30 AM**Turn an Empty Saturday Night into Joining 5 Beginners in a Dungeons & Dragons Adventure** Here is Everything You Will Need to Know: This game night is a beginners introduction to D&D and the Ludos Guild - just bring yourself. **Dungeons and Dragons** A cooperative role-play game, relaxed, fun - and optimized for beginners to learn how to play and enjoy their first game with new people. Played with dice, paper, maps and miniature figurines. (You won't have to bring any of these) **Ludos Guild** We are helping people build their Social Circles playing D&D to meet and play with other fantasy loving nerds looking to do the same in Melbourne. Most of our members moved to Melbourne for work and University, and love fantasy, games, anime, etc. We are a private D&D community creating events tailored exclusively for our members beyond this Meetup group. **You will love this Event if:** You want to build your social circle at a relaxed/creative game night You like fantasy stories, novels, video games, anime and the like You are pretty busy, and want an exciting, structured event 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 Fellowship 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 made me my first friends after school. This night was made for you :) **If your new to Melbourne and want to build the D&D Social Circle You're been missing out on - Join the Group Now.** RSVP now so you don’t miss out (18 seats total) **What Exactly Happens? (Step-by-Step)** **1. Meet Your Host** When you arrive, we’ll greet everyone one at a time. This is your chance to ask questions, tell us what you’re looking for, and have a quick chat about D&D. We’ll give you a name tag and match you with a table. **2. Meet Your Table & Pick a Character** Everything you need to play will already be at the table. You’ll choose a character that looks fun to you and meet your Dungeon Master (DM). Your DM will answer your questions, teach you as you play, and guide your group through the adventure. **3. Play Your D&D Adventure** Then it’s time to play! You’ll spend the 3hr session exploring, making choices, solving problems, and getting to know the other people at your table. You don’t need to know the rules before you arrive. We’ll help you as you go. **4. Hang Out After the Game** After the adventure, we usually have some time to hang out and chat. People often grab some food, talk about the game, and get to know each other a little more. **5. Decide If You Want to Keep Going** There’s no pressure to decide anything before you come. At the end of the night: - You can choose to leave it there - deciding it's not for you. - You can join us for two more paid trial sessions to build your confidence and play more games and or... - You can contiue with the Ludos Fellowship and keep building your D&D social circle by joining as a member. Joining longer form games, custom characters and building your social circle with us fantasy nerds. Note: Attending this event does not guarantee you'll be invited to go beyond. If you're interested in trying Dungeons and Dragons, Learning it, and building a Social Circle of Fantasy lovers to play with, this is the event for you. **RSVP now to Start** We can only have 18 seats available in total, once they're gone they're gone. RSVPs Close Saturday (if there is spots available) We have a 2-Strike Policy, late leavers and no-show are forgiven, but flagged. **If you want to start Enjoying D&D this Weekend, RSVP right now to Start.** **Frequently Asked Question** (or message Jope your Q's) **How "beginner" is beginner**? You've never played at all? That is okay. You've played a few times and have the gist of it? That is okay. You've played up to a level 3 sorcerer with 2 levels in warlock so you could burn the short rest warlock spell slots for the font of magic sorcerer points… not for you, but you can message me if your looking to join the group. **Will I slow my group down if I don't pick up the game quickly**? 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 even without learning all the rules. **Will I be the only girl there?** I usually see 30% to 50% of our attendees are women. 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 won't affect your enjoyment of the game whatsoever. **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 one 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 Group beyond these Beginner Nights has about an 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 know each other. We also like to break cliques here. **Can I bring a +1 along to this event?** We cannot allow +1s at any of our events. Each attendee needs to be approved seperately, if you have a partner or friend you want to attend with you, please mention your affiliation in the application process to join the group. **I might potentially show up late - should I just miss out instead?** Message Jope as early as possible about being late. We can hold a game from starting for up to 20 or so minutes, do keep us informed **I can't do Saturday nights regularly because of other commitments, but I’m also super interested - do you run at other times?** So Ludos runs events every weekday evening, and every morning, afternoon and evening of the weekends. Which means we have up to 11 events running Message Organiser Jope directly via Meetup your question for an answer about what's going on at the moment. **I'm not the super witty/theatre/improv type, but I think I might like this - should I attend**? Yes! There are many ways to enjoy D&D. Everyone loves the story and characters, some really get into building their character from a games mechanics perspective. Others just like to hang out and chat about the game. People find different things here. What I can say, is that we don't know which type you are until you attend your first game : **I've been to other game nights and they've been hit or miss - what's different here?** Like most game nights, the quality of the night is a reflection of the attendees, so we often filter out people who we think are bad fit. If you're a mature, friendly person you're welcome at Ludos, we try to control this before people reach the table. **How heavy on rules is this game night?** We all play fairly light on the rules, you won't be pulled up for not knowing a niche rule, everyone generally leans towards the "rule of cool" if it won't break the game :) Afterall, this is a beginner session, so we expect you to not know anything. **I played D&D before and had a bad time at Fortress/Facebook Group/University Club…** Yep, we’ve heard this one a lot. Unlike Facebook and university groups we vet people a lot. If someone sucks the first time they come they aren't given the opportunity to come back again. If you've paid for a session of D&D and didn't have a good time because you were stuck with jarring people, immature kids, or a loud venue, you don't find that here. **I’m a shift worker and my schedule gets thrown around a lot - can I still play?** Yes, there are flexible ways to play D&D that are less regimented, though only available to Full Members of Ludos - Speak with Jope or a DM about our Anytime Adventure Access. If you have any other questions - message Jope Otherwise, make sure to **RSVP Right Now** as spots fill quickly. 18 total spots available. RSVP window closes Saturday. The earlier you begin, the sooner you can be placed in longer term games, and meet more group members. **So make sure to join the group and RSVP to this event ASAP**.
