Frequently Asked Questions
General FAQ
Yes! We would love to welcome you to this amazing game. We recommend first time players play with our Professional DMs as they can help guide you and make you feel welcome, plus they have all the tools you’ll need for a great night! Learn more about them here: https://dungeonsandcastles.com.au/meet-the-dms/
120% Absolutely!! We love to see people really get in to character and cosplay! If you are planning to do this, please leave the prop weapons (and real weapons) at home as we don’t have a facility to check these.
Games start at 6:30PM, which is the same time doors close, so please make sure you arrive on time. Sign in starts at 6:00 PM.
We do keep VERY limited spots available for walk-ins on the night though it is highly recommended to book in advance. You can find the next event here: https://dungeonsandcastles.com.au/events/
At this stage we are only opening up games to people aged 12 and older. Please watch this space as we are exploring family friendly events where everyone can have a shot, regardless of age!
There are no food and drinks available on site. You are welcome to bring any food you would like (understand that you can’t re-heat items) on to the premises as long as you make sure to discard of any wrappers, etc in the provided bins.
Kryal Castle is actually also totally comfortable with people ordering food to the Castle as well during game nights, though you will have to collect this from the Castle Gates 😉
Currently we aren’t enforcing a strict minimum, no.
3 Day Event FAQ
No worries at all. Even if you book at separate times, just make sure you pop a consistent group name in your booking so we can pair you all up together. If you forget, that’s fine, just hit us up on the Discord and we’ll do our best to make it happen!
During the 3 Day Event there will be 3 main sessions at night that continue the primary story. We will also have optional one shots during the day of Day 2 and Day 3 that you can jump in to for a bit of chaos that have nothing to do with the main story!
To ensure that all types of players are catered for we have kept accommodation separate from the ticket pricing. We highly recommend staying at Kryal Castle and they have a few different room types available to suit different budgets which you can check out here: Kryal Castle Accommodation
Remember, all 3 Day Event Bookings get 15% off accommodation, so make sure you grab your ticket first!
The 3 Day Event will have dinner catered for each night, aside from alcohol which will be available for purchase each night. (We even have D&D themed cocktails!) Guests will also be allowed to BYO alcohol as long as it is not consumed in the Abbey Inn Tavern.
You also fine to bring your own snacks and food, provided you clean up after yourself!
Professional DMs FAQ
Absolutely! All of our professional DM’s are here to make Dungeons & Dragons the best possible experience for all players. Just indicate your comfort level when booking a ticket and we’ll take care of the rest!
Both! Often times for new groups our DM’s will take players through a one-shot adventure so they can get a feel for the DM and also the other players. If everyone is keen to keep going, a party can be made!
We’ll make sure you get a chance to chat with your professional DM in the lead up to your game. Our DM’s are super accommodating and just want to make sure everyone has a great time! We also employ the use of the “X” card or similar systems to ensure that if at any point a player is uncomfortable, DM’s can move on and away from the offending content.
