Dungeons & Dragons
 

Want to play Dungeons & Dragons in Ballarat?

I run regular sessions at Card Crazy in the Bridge Mall and at other places; no previous experience is required, just yourself and and your sense of fun.

Check my list of upcoming sessions

If you see a session you'd like to attend, e-mail me to book a place. There is a limit to the number of players, though you are welcome to watch the sessions at Card Crazy if you'd like.

Want to learn D&D for yourself?

You could do far worse than getting a copy of the D&D Basic Game. Everything 2-5 people need to learn the game. If you're in Ballarat, Games Cove either have a copy or will get one in for you.

There's also the new D&D for Dummies book.
