Join The Society Space
Discord is the easiest place to introduce yourself, ask questions, and see what games are looking for players.
First Quest
New To D&D?
You are exactly who this page is for. You do not need experience, books, dice, voices, acting skills, or a perfectly planned character. ENDADS starts the year with one-shot tasters so new players can learn by playing.
Your First Steps
How To Join A Game
Most new players only need three things: say hello, try a one-shot taster, and apply for a weekly campaign when player signups open.
Look For Open Tables
September one-shot tasters come first. Weekly campaign player signups open after DMs have submitted their October to May games.
Bring Curiosity
You can learn rules as they come up. The important bit is joining in, asking questions, and having fun.
This Year's Quest Board
How Official Games Open Up
Freshers activity starts with one-shot taster sessions, then moves into weekly campaign signups for the October to May society season.
DM And Player Interest Opens
We open the opportunity for people to apply as DMs and players for official one-shot taster sessions.
One-Shot Taster Sessions
Beginner-friendly one-shots run so new members can try D&D, meet people, and get a feel for society games.
Weekly Campaign DM Signups
DMs tell us what they want to run from October to May, including campaign descriptions, weekly hosting day, and table details.
Weekly Campaign Player Signups
Players apply for the games they are most interested in based on the campaign descriptions and available tables.
Campaigns Begin
Official weekly campaigns start and continue through the society year, running toward the end of May.
At The Table
What Happens In A First Session?
A dungeon master describes the world, you say what your character wants to do, and dice help decide what happens when the outcome is uncertain.
You Will Not Need To Know Every Rule
Most players learn by playing. If something matters, the table can explain it in the moment.
Your Character Can Be Simple
A brave fighter, curious wizard, sneaky rogue, or helpful cleric is more than enough to start.
The Table Works Together
D&D is collaborative. The aim is not to win against each other, but to create a memorable adventure.
Inventory Check
What To Bring
Yourself
That is the main thing. You do not need to arrive as an expert.
A Way To Take Notes
Phone notes or a notebook can help you remember names, clues, and plans.
Dice If You Have Them
If you do not have dice yet, do not worry. Someone can usually lend a set.
Ready When You Are
Ask For A Beginner Table
If you are unsure where to start, ask about the one-shot tasters or beginner-friendly campaign options. That is a normal question, and people will know what you mean.
Common Worries
New Player FAQ
What if I am shy?
That is completely fine. You can start quietly, ask questions, and join in more as you get comfortable.
Do I need to do a character voice?
No. Some people enjoy voices, some do not. Saying what your character does is enough.
Can I come along before committing?
Yes. The September one-shot tasters are there so you can try the game, meet people, and see whether ENDADS feels right for you.
What if I make a mistake?
You will. Everyone does. The table can help, and mistakes often become the best stories.
