Dungeons & Dragons Intro Night

Dungeons & Dragons Intro Night

Dungeons & Dragons, or D&D, is a storytelling game where players step into the shoes of their characters and embark on adventures crafted by the Dungeon Master. These adventures can vary widely but often involve problem-solving, social interactions, and battling monsters.

Now is a great opportunity to dive into the magical world of D&D. This intro night is designed for beginners, so no prior experience with tabletop role-playing games is needed!

The schedule for the evening is as follows:

15:30 Doors open, and character creation begins. If you can’t make it by this time, no worries—you can play with a pre-made character.

17:00 The adventure begins. Please arrive by this time.

~20:30-22:00 The story (hopefully) concludes happily, and the game ends. Afterwards, those interested can stay and chat about D&D.

~22:00 Time to head home and look forward to the next D&D session.

You’ll want to bring your own pencil, eraser, and a touch of imagination. There will be at least two simultaneous games, one in Finnish and one in English. There’s only a limited number of spots at the table, so sign up quickly

If you’re an experienced D&D player and would like to be a Dungeon Master at the event, contact Game Master ​@nikk_ee (The amount of slots for players and dms can be changed👀)

What: D&D

When: Monday 23.9. 15:30 or 17:00 onward

About Taekwon-do:
Taekwon-do is a fast-paced Korean martial art that can be used for defence and offence. This martial art is especially famous for its diversity of kicking techniques and suits people from different groups of age, both as a competitive and general fitness sport.
Taekwon-do develops physical features of the body, such as coordination, agility, mobility and general fitness level. Additionally, it improves focus, perseverance and self-confidence in facing new challenges.
