The London Dungeons & Dragons Meetup Group

WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO TAKE PART?
You just need to RSVP using the button on this page, and show up on Sunday. That is true for both DMs and players.

You must be 18+ to attend.

If this is your first time or looking to join a game, please find the Sunday Hosts Edward or Jason on your arrival. We will point you towards a game you can join.

Unless you have spoken to Jason or Edward beforehand about reserving tables/rooms at the pubs, you are NOT allowed to do so. I cannot state the importance of being able to rotate the availability of the rooms with other attendees/general pub goers in case the Pub needs them.

The rooms should only be used by attendees who have a group plus DM or attendees who are DMing on the day. Otherwise I will assign you to the tables around the pub. This is non-negotiable.

TIMES
Please ensure you arrive between 12:30pm and 1.00pm. If you arrive later than 1pm, it may not be possible to find you a game.

I'VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE, IS THAT A PROBLEM?
Nope! You do not have to have previous experience of D&D or another tabletop role-playing game. We will have newbie-friendly games on Sunday.

WHAT DO I HAVE TO BRING?
Nothing. If you have dice, paper and pencil, and a Player’s Handbook, then bring them, but it’s not a problem if you don’t. We can lend you everything you need including a pre-generated character.

I'M NOT FROM THE UK, THAT ISN'T A PROBLEM, RIGHT?
Actually, we have loads of members from other countries; at times, we’ve had more ex-pats than Brits. We get a lot of people joining who’ve just moved to London from another country, left their old D&D friends behind, and who are looking for a new gaming group, so you don’t need to worry about not fitting in.

The one catch is that your English does need to be OK. You don't have to be perfectly fluent, but roleplaying’s a language-based activity and if your listening isn't decent you may have trouble following what’s going on. Lots of our members speak more than one language, but we can't guarantee that we can place you in a game with someone who can interpret for you.

DUNGEON MASTERS
We are always on the look-out for DMs. If you would like to run a game, please PM Edward_w or Jason Sia.

HYGIENE & ANTI-COVID GUIDELINES
If you are symptomatically ill or suspect/know you have caught covid in the last 10 days but are asymptomatic, please do NOT attend.

Please wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth and/or a face shield whenever possible. This is not a rule, merely a request.

Please avoid sharing food.

Please wash your hands and/or use hand sanitiser gel frequently.

Please maximise social distancing where possible and keep social mixing to a minimum.

If you test positive for covid after attending an event, please contact Zander the Meetup Organiser, immediately. If possible, please let Zander know your Dungeon Master's name.

If your venue has stricter rules than those outlined above, please follow those rules.

VENUES AND MONEY MATTERS
There is no charge, membership fee or subscription. However, a collection tin may be circulated by the Organiser/Assistant Organiser/Host towards the running of the Meetup. There is a recommended donation of £2 cash per attendee (DM or player), but contributions are purely voluntary: you are under no obligation. We do not track or record who donates what (and for that reason, donations by Paypal etc are not accepted).

The venues are businesses and, as such, rely on us spending on food and drink while we are there. Our continued use of the venues is dependent upon it. Please spend as much as you reasonably can; if you are thinking of having lunch at your venue, please do. The venues have vegetarian and vegan options.

Please do NOT bring drink from outside except tap water in a transparent plastic bottle. Please do NOT bring food from outside. Bringing food or drink (except tap water) from outside can result in you being permanently banned by the venue's management.

Guide dogs are absolutely fine. Other dogs and pets may not be permitted subject to the discretion of the Pub Staff & Organisers.

If you have any questions, please post it in the comments below or PM Edward_w or Jason, the Sunday Hosts.

Please find Zander, the Organiser, on your arrival. You'll then be assigned to a game.

TIMES
Please ensure you arrive before 1.00pm. If you arrive late, it may not be possible to find you a game.
If you're part of a group of two or more, you all have to be 18+, RSVP for yourselves (no 'plus ones') and arrive at 12.30pm on the day, not 1.00pm. If you arrive between 12.30pm and 1.00pm, you'll still be able to play, but may be placed in different games.

You don't have to have any knowledge of D&D's rules or have previous experience of D&D or another tabletop role-playing game.
You don't have to bring or prepare anything. We can lend you everything you need including a pre-generated character.
If you want to bring or create your own character, please arrive at 12.30pm and discuss your character with your assigned DM. Please respect their decision in the unlikely event that they say you have to use a pre-generated character. They may have story or rules reasons they can't disclose.
