About this event

D&D is a Structured Game Night, half boardgame, half improv, all guides by a storyteller host who can teach and run the play session. Expect it to go for about 2.5-3 hours, with time for chats and photos and food :) This is a sister event to the Ludos Melbourne Games' Guided Game Nights for Beginners, which means there is another event on meet up with people attending this game.

FAQ What should I expect? An exciting night you'll tell your colleagues, roommates and friends back home about. Seriously, this will probably be the highlight of your week. What should I bring? Nothing but yourself. What will happen when I get there? you'll be greeted at the door by the host game master (story teller person) you'll be able to chat to them one-on-one, ask questions and receive a name tag sticker. then you'll be placed in a small team and be introduced to the storyteller who will lead your night. Will I be the only girl? Usually not. I normally see a ratio of 2 girls for every 3-4 guys, occasionally more girls. I can't guarantee on any given night what the numbers will be. but I can promise you that our game night is very inclusive and the gender ratio won't sour your night 😊 (if it does, let the host organiser (usually Jope) know during or after the event so he can quitely handle it) Will I be the only old person/ young person? We normally see anyone from ages 23 to about late '40s. but just like above, no guarantees on any given night, but don't expect that to sour the night. The Ludos Guild Beyond these Meetup events has all sorts of people, 80% of them young-mature professionals. Will I slow people down if I don't get the game? Totally not. We've been running this night for over 2 years and have gotten really good at teaching hundreds of people this game. Everyone is also super friendly and the game's cooperative. (people who arent, won't be invited back) I'm worried I might show late? yep, just message the organiser about what time you think you'll be there, and we'll see what we can do. Do you have any other times? I'm busy on a Saturday... We occasionally run on a Friday, message the organiser What's a Ludos Guild? Ludos meaning games, it's a private group of people who enjoy table top role playing games. This is not the Ludos Guild, this is our front door. A host may invite you to the guild, but only after you have joined two sessions with us. This requirement ensures you feel like you understand the gist of the game, and think you'll enjoy playing it for years to come. Our events include Dungeons and Dragons Campaigns, alternative role play games, painting sessions, and other events. Our nights are optimised for alignment, availability and opportunity. main group here: Check out Ludos Melbourne Games https://www.meetup.com/melbourne-games on Meetup
