Chicago Dungeons & Dragons Newbie Sessions (Chatham)

Gaming group

irill K. and 1,078 others Come join us at D&D Newbies to learn and play the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons! We have a friendly and inviting atmosphere for people of all skill levels. Our planned one-shot activities are designed particularly for beginners, and characters can either be premade or made with D&D Beyond. Sessions typically last four hours, so please remember to make sure your RSVP is accurate and to be on time. If you are new to D&D and have no idea what you're doing, don’t worry–many of the attendees have never gamed before and we will be around to help. Unfortunately, we don't allow spectators as they have proven to be disruptive in the past. We offer a large variety of races and classes, all of which must be officially published and playtested. However, it's possible that certain restrictions may be imposed by the DM. Additionally, one-shots are their own, unique stories, so if you miss one, don't fret, you can always attend the next one! If you feel overwhelmed by the freedom that D&D provides, we will support you every step of the way. For further information, more FAQs can be found on our website, as can our Discord server and useful Player Resources.
