Dungeon and Dragons Social

Badger Badger in West Norwood is hosting a Dungeons & Dragons Social on Tuesday 10 November, from 18:00 to 22:00. It's a relaxed, beginner-friendly gathering for anyone new to tabletop roleplaying, and it's just as much about meeting local players and game masters as it is about the game itself. If you've been wanting to get into D&D but haven't had a group to start with, this is a good place to find one.

The venue takes care of the gear, so you don't need to turn up with your own. They provide complete starter kits — dice, pencils and pre-made character sheets — which means you can just show up and play without worrying about the logistics. The session runs low-stress one-shot adventures, the kind of self-contained stories that wrap up in a single evening rather than committing you to a long-term campaign. They're designed to teach the rules as you play, so you'll pick up the basics while you're actually in the game, rather than spending the first hour reading through a manual.

It's a social night, so there's plenty of room to chat between turns. Along with the gaming, Badger Badger serves craft drinks and food, so you can keep a drink in hand while you're rolling. The session is held on Tuesday evenings at Badger Badger, 543 Norwood Road, West Norwood, London, SE27 9DW, and runs from 18:00 to 22:00. Entry is £8.00, with a discounted price of £5.60 available.
