Now that you’ve forged your hero in our Learn D&D:Session 0 workshop, it’s time to bring them to life! This session is the next step in your journey — a hands-on Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) gameplay workshop using the brand-new 2024 system.

In this drop-in/drop-out style campaign adventure, you’ll step into your character’s boots and experience the thrill of collaborative storytelling, dice-rolling drama, and party-based problem solving in our ever-expanding world of Aetheria. Guided by experienced Dungeon Masters Alexzavier and Shada, you’ll learn how the updated D&D 2024 rules come alive in play — from bold combat encounters to clever roleplay and everything in between.
