Kid-specific Dungeons and Dragons sessions are designed to be fully inclusive for all children aged 9yo - 17yo.

Bec the gamemaster from Critical Capers and teen peer gamemaster Mali will be running DnD tables one table for under 12yo and one table for over 12yo. Bec is a blue card-holding experienced child educator, dnd player and gamemaster for children within the community of Greater Springfield and specialises in running sessions for neurodiverse children.

We have a limit of 5 players per table to ensure the kids get a fun & equal experience with the game. To participate your child must have a pre-booked ticket, please do not turn up on the day wanting a space to play. Due to the limited numbers tickets are required.

Everything will be provided for the kids to use during the sessions including pencils and dice.

I will have new player kits available to purchase if the kids want their items to get started playing more DND at home and in other places. These will be available in limited quantities and cost $25.

But what is DnD and is it suitable for my child?
