Dungeons and Dragons at the Malt Cross Nottingham

Grab a pint and clear a rogue wizard's tower! A beginner-friendly, self-contained D&D one-shot adventure at Nottingham's Malt Cross.
About this Event

A powerful local wizard has vanished, leaving behind back-taxes, an empty tower, and a highly paranoid, completely unhinged automated defense system. The town council needs a specialized "cleanup crew" to step inside, disable the security, and prep the estate for auction.

Welcome to The Arcane Estate , a self-contained, high-energy D&D one-shot adventure packed with classic monsters, magical mishaps, and plenty of loot!

Whether you are a total beginner wanting to try Dungeons & Dragons for the very first time, or a seasoned player looking for a fun, casual game, this standalone session is designed for you. You'll show up, grab a pre-made character (or come a little earlier where we can run you through some quick character creation to play with something a little unique), defeat the tower's rogue defenses, and clock out before closing time. Just watch out for the furniture... some of it has teeth.

What to Expect From the Adventure:

• Classic D&D Threats: Test your wits against a glitched suit of animated armor, a ravenous mimic disguised as a luxury jewelry box, and a highly eccentric, four-eyed floating beholder-kin guarding the subterranean vault.
• Total Beginner Friendly: Never rolled a d20 before? Don't sweat it. We provide the character sheets, the dice, and a patient Dungeon Master to teach you the rules as we play.
• Action & Laughs: A perfect blend of combat tutorials, puzzle-solving, and lighthearted fantasy chaos that wraps up entirely in a single evening.

What to Bring

• Just yourself! We provide pre-generated characters, pencils, and dice.
• (Optional) If you have your own lucky set of dice or a Level 1 character you've been dying to play, feel free to bring them along!

Spaces at the tavern table are strictly limited to ensure everyone gets plenty of spotlight time. Secure your spot and book your ticket today!

What is Dungeon Clearers?

Ever wanted to try Dungeons & Dragons but can’t commit to a massive, years-long campaign? Welcome to Dungeon Clearers a one-shot campaign, the ultimate drop-in, drop-out D&D experience designed for busy adults, complete beginners, and seasoned adventurers alike!

Set in a casual, episodic style, every event session across all venues is a self-contained adventure. You show up, get your guild contract, defeat the dungeon, bag the loot, and clock out.

Our premier launch session brings us to "The Arcane Estate".

If you are wanting to play in the Dungeon Clearers campaign then come along 30 minutes before any of our sessions with a character idea for a FREE character creation and we will create a character for you to start rolling with that same day.

Why Play Dungeon Clearers?

• Total Beginner Friendly: Never rolled a d20 before? No problem. We provide the character sheets, the dice, and a patient Dungeon Master to teach you as we play.
• Casual Drop-In/Drop-Out: Play this week, skip the next two, and jump back in whenever you have a free evening. Your character levels the more sessions you but don't worry about being the lowest level in the party.
• Dynamic Scaling: Our unique guild "contract scaling" ensures your character gets a temporary power boost so you can fight alongside veterans without getting vaporized. These "Guild Levels" will effectively level your skills, defences, and spells without unlocking newer abilites you and your character are not familiar with.
