I don’t know anything about Dungeons and Dragons / Roleplaying games. Can I still come?

Absolutely! You don’t need to have ever played before or know anything in advance. Head over to Get Involved to find out how to join in!

How do I join a game?

Join the Weekly Game Signups chat. There you will see Game Masters (GM) posting advertisements for upcoming games, as well as a pinned message linking to a D17 - Weekly Game Chart google sheet which will show all the available games for that week. Once you find a suitable game, reach out in Weekly Game Signups chat to the specific GM (or just generally to the chat) and they will add you to the sheet and will let you know anything you need to know.

There are no open games, what should I do?

If you would like to play and there are no open games, we recommend reaching out in Weekly Game Signups to register your interest. Often Game Masters will step up once they know there’s interest so make sure to let people know!

Do I need to bring anything?

It depends! Most games you play will require a set of dice and some character sheets, but most DMs will provide that. We also have a shared set of dice that you can borrow on the night. If you are unsure, reach out to your GM or to one of the chats and we can help.

Are there any membership requirements?

No! Everyone is welcome, and there are no requirements as long as you abide by the Code of Conduct. For voting and making nominations in the committee elections there are minimum attendance requirements.

Are there any club resources available?

Yes! There is a shared box of resources that includes dice, board games and a plastic sheet for doing arts and crafts.

Can I play board games?

Absolutely! There are some shared board games at the venue, but you are more than welcome to bring your own. If you do want to do that, we ask that you create an entry in the Weekly Game Signups google sheet so that we can make sure there is a table setup for you to use on the day.

Is there food and drink available at the Venue?

Yes! There is a great range of Beers, Ciders, other alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available. Signature Brew also serves great food that can change over time. If you want to see an up-to-date menu you can find it on their website.

I have a physical or other disability. Is the venue accessible?

The venue is Wheelchair accessible and there are no steps to or from the main gaming space at Signature Brew, nor the toilets. There is, however, one step into the bar, but there is a ramp available on request; the bar staff do make regular rounds to get drink/food orders from members, so you do not need to go to the bar to order unless you choose to.

Most seating at the venue is benches, but a small number of high back chairs are available on request.

Please reach out in the Introduce Yourself chat or via membership@dice17.co.uk if you require any specific accommodations or if you have any questions. 

I am neurodivergent. Is the club ND friendly?

How old do I need to be?

Everyone must be over the age of 18 to come to the D17 meetings.

What kinds of games are there to join?

There are a range of Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs), such as Dungeons and Dragons, Blades in the Dark, Pathfinder, Daggerheart, Mork Borg and many many more!

Do I need to pay anything to join?

No! D17 is a completely free club, and there are no costs to come along or participate in any games though we encourage you to buy food and drink from the venue which accommodates our sessions.

Can I host my own games?

Yes! If you wish to host your own game, please read and agree to the D17 GM Code of Conduct and reach out in the GM Group chat and we can guide you through the process of adding your game to the Weekly Game Signups google sheet.

Is it okay if I bring a friend?

Yes! Everyone is welcome. Please share the D17 Code of Conduct with them and if they agree to the club rules, then they are more than welcome to join.

Is it okay if I bring my children?

Unfortunately, the club is only for people of age 18 or older. 

I can’t commit to coming every week. Is that okay?

Yes! You can come as often or as little as you would like to. Many games hosted just for a single week and many are ongoing games that a GM may ask you to commit to a schedule. 

I signed up for a game and now I realise I can’t come anymore. What should I do? 

If you are unable to make a game you have already signed up for, please let the game GM know as soon as possible so that your spot can be opened up to another participant. 

I will be driving to the venue. Is there any parking available?

There is no parking directly at the venue, but there is local residential parking available with certain restrictions as well as a pay and display parking nearby.

If you are driving and have specific accessibility needs, please reach out and we can talk to the venue to see what is possible.

Is it okay to play games with adult themes?

Yes, not all games with have adults themes but some may. When signing up for a game the GM should give you any content warnings to expect before playing, and if unsure or if you have specific requests please ask.

I have had a negative experience at D17, with the club or with a specific member. What should I do?

That's very sad to hear. Please reach out to one of the club committee members or to the email address complaints@dice17.co.uk and we will do whatever we can to make sure you feel comfortable and help you to resolve the situation.
