Guided Game Night and Dinner for Beginners Friday D&D - Southbank

**Beginner Dungeons & Dragons Night (No Experience Needed + Dinner)** This event is a guided game session for beginners with dinner afterwards. An awesome way to use a Friday Evening with Dinner and Laughs. This night is best for people who love fantasy, games and anime. It's cooperative, creative, and relaxed. Come along, meet others, play and learn, and see whether Dungeons & Dragons is something you'd enjoy. I've worked out a 10% discount for tonight, so it's an awesome opportunity to grab some Vietnamese food and ice coffee while we play. First session is 100% free for new attendees, and serves as an introduction to the game and the Ludos Guild. If your interested in continuing, you'll be able to jump on a Beginner Call with me (Jope) and I'll talk you through the program; the expanded characters you can play, magic items and even connect you with other friendly members of the group (this group is 2yrs old, just this event is new) If you decide it's a good fit, you'll have the opportunity to continue. There's no obligation to continue—you're welcome to simply enjoy your first session and decide afterwards. Your Game Host teaches everything, so no experience or preparation is needed. see you guys soon :) We are turning this nook of Southbank into a fantasy nook, nerdy hangout and relaxed dinner.
