Learn To Play Dungeons & Dragons is an introductory tabletop gaming session designed for beginners who want to master the basics of the popular roleplaying game. Instructors guide participants through the rules, storytelling mechanics, and gameplay basics in a welcoming environment. If you want to build a custom character, arrive at 6:00 PM to get step-by-step help before the official game starts at 7:00 PM. The event is free to attend and is best suited for teenagers and adults who can focus for a multi-hour session. The Gathering Place is located in downtown Chapel Hill, so plan for paid street parking or use nearby municipal decks. This mid-week gathering offers a structured, low-pressure way for older kids to build social skills, practice creative problem-solving, and connect with local peers who share their interests.
Do we need to bring our own character sheet to the event?
No, you do not need to bring anything. If you want to create a custom character from scratch, arrive at 6:00 PM for guided assistance before the game begins.
Is there a cost to attend this gaming session?
This event is completely free to attend, making it an affordable way to try out the hobby before investing in books or dice.
