Dungeons & Dragons Weekly One-Shots at Gnome Games Appleton East – $10

Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Dungeons & Dragons Weekly One-shots!

Every Monday from 6 PM to 8:30 PM, we will be hosting Dungeons & Dragons one-shot sessions! Whether you’re newer to the role-playing scene or a veteran just looking for some fun, all are welcome at our tables! Our own Dungeon Master (DM) will guide you through a mini session of daring adventure and fun role-playing for a night to remember!

What do I need to bring?

A full set of dice is required to play. To be more specific, a full set of dice includes a d4 (4-sided die), d6 (6-sided die), d8 (8-sided die), d10 (10-sided die), percentile d10 (00-90), d12 (12-sided die), and d20 (20-sided die). We provide pre-made character sheets! Entry is $10.

What is Dungeons & Dragons?

Dungeons & Dragons is a classic tabletop role-playing game that has been around since 1974! Throughout the years it has developed and grown into a beloved franchise of not just rulebooks, but novels, video games, and even popular movies! In Dungeons & Dragons, players will take on the role of their very own character and act out all of their movements and conversations themselves. Often times these actions will lead into checks the player has to make, where they will roll dice and add some character statistics together to see how well they do! Both success and failure come together to make these games happen, so be ready for anything!

An important part to playing Dungeons & Dragons is having a story teller, lovingly labeled as the Dungeon Master (DM)! The DM will run the campaign for players and dictate how the story flows as the characters progress. They can use preconstructed campaigns referred to as modules, or craft their very own stories from scratch! Either way, the DM usually has a lot of planning to do to make things flow well. It’s a very rewarding feeling, though!

More information is available on D&D Beyond, which highlights both digital and physical aspects of Dungeons & Dragons.
