About this Event

Have you been thinking about getting into Dungeons & Dragons, but aren’t sure where to start?

Maybe the books look intimidating. Maybe you’ve heard friends talk about it and wondered what actually happens at the table.

In this 3.5 hour introduction workshop, Brett from Mythic Minds will guide you through creating a character using D&D Beyond, explain the basics of the game, and walk through things like table etiquette, roleplaying, and how a session actually works.

Don’t worry — there are a lot of rules, but memorizing them is not expected. Most groups learn as they play.

Once everyone has a character ready, we’ll jump into a short adventure using a custom map so you can experience how the game flows in real time.

If you’ve been curious about D&D, this is the perfect place to start.


What to Bring

Laptop (preferred) with an internet browser with a FREE D&D Beyond account created (Phones work, but the browser version is significantly easier to use)

Pen & Journal (or access to a word processor)

Snacks (Please avoid heavily scented foods and common allergens.)

Beverages Bring your own water bottle. Canopy Studios is a licensed venue. Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase.
Government issued ID required for alcohol purchases.
18+ event.

Comfort Items Blankets, trinkets, or other personal comfort items are welcome. Participants will be encouraged to step outside their normal routines through role-play.

Curiosity and an Open Mind



Event Fee

This experience is offered at $30 per participant. Bring a friend and save for $50.

Your ticket helps cover event preparation, venue coordination, and the time required to craft and host the adventure. Each session is prepared in advance and supported with thematic music, ambient lighting, projected maps, and visual storytelling elements designed to make the table feel immersive and memorable.

The goal is to create a welcoming space where both new and experienced players can enjoy a well-run tabletop experience together.

If you particularly enjoyed the adventure, tips are never expected but always appreciated.
