Learn to Play D&D (5e)

With DM Travis

New to Dungeons & Dragons or tabletop roleplaying altogether? Rally forth and join us at Mana Cloud as we host a learn to play D&D session with Dungeon Master (aka DM) Travis! This is a free session held once a month in which you will be taught some of the core fundamentals of tabletop roleplaying games (aka TTRPGs) and the world of D&D in a open Q&A gameplay session. You will have the opportunity to get a feel for game mechanics, how to play a character, and (potentially) work with other novice adventuring peers to figure out how best to complete the session’s objective in a fun low-stakes custom quest setting! No experience, materials, or game knowledge required.

This event requires prepping by the DM, and thus requires pre-registration. While last-minute signups or walk-ins are welcomed to join (if there is room at the table), if there are no signups by the start of the session day, the game for that month will be considered cancelled.

Use the form at the top of the page to check the current registrations and to secure your own seat.

This is a free to join event, but as with any service, if you would like to support your DM & the event you are welcomed to tip at the end of the session!

Additional Info:

Space is limited, first-come-first-serve. To reserve your seat, please use the form near the top of the page. If there are no registrations for a session by the start of it’s scheduled day, that day’s session will be considered cancelled until next month.

We welcome all players looking to pick up a few new skills in tabletop roleplaying or D&D specifically. These are single sessions designed to give players a greater broad understanding of what to expect in a game like D&D, but players are welcomed to join as many of these sessions as they would like to get more comfortable with the mechanics or specifics. We also offer our Cloudveil Adventures Guild at the store as an open-invite 5e ongoing one-shot campaign for those looking to play a regular session of D&D.

All materials to play can be provided during this session, but you are welcome to bring an RPG 7-piece dice set, journal for keeping character and game notes, and/or 5e character sheet if you wish. Snacks and refreshments are available to purchase, or players may bring in their own to enjoy during the game.

Note: Registration confirmation email may or may not go through to your inbox, depending on email provider & settings. We are still working to fix this issue, but in the meantime, you can always check who is actively registered by looking at the Currently Registered section at the very top of this page below the header banner, which will only appear blank if no one has yet registered.
