A monthly one-shot Dungeons & Dragons adventure led by professional Dungeon Masters, suitable for first-time players and veterans alike.
Dungeons & Drafthouse is back at The Highball on Sunday, August 16, with a one-shot called Case of the Unholy Murders. It's part of a monthly series of Dungeons & Dragons adventures led by professional Dungeon Masters, staged once a month at the venue. This particular session is presented by The Highball @Alamo Drafthouse South Lamar, and it's for ages 21 and over.
If you've never played D&D, the "one-shot" part is the key: it's a self-contained adventure that starts and ends in a single session, so you don't have to commit to a long-term campaign. The professional Dungeon Master handles the rules and the storytelling, which is why they pitch it as a good fit for first-time players—you just show up and play. That said, they describe it as working for D&D veterans too, so if you've got a character sheet and a few campaigns under your belt, you'll fit right in.
