About Us
Whether you have played D&D for years or you only know it by name,
we are here to help you get started playing Dungeons & Dragons!
"Who are you?"
We are a friendly group of locals who play a game called "Dungeons & Dragons". We play at the Crowthorne Library on Saturdays between 12:30pm and 3:30pm, and if you are an adult (or a child in year 9 or above) we would love for you to join in!
The goal of these sessions is to get as many people as possible to try out the game, with no barriers to entry and no ongoing commitment.
We also have occasional "Kids' D&D" sessions for younger players (academic years 5-6), and One-Shots (for adults and kids in year 9 and up) to add some variety.
"Who runs the games?"
The sessions were started by Liz in July 2023, and she always had the aim of others who wanted to try running the game to use the sessions to have a go. Until recently, interest in running a session was limited and hesitant, but we now have two regular DMs and "guest DM" spots.

I started playing D&D in 2020 when my husband ran a lockdown game with friends. I was instantly hooked, and have been playing D&D and other tabletop roleplaying games ever since.
I started the games in Crowthorne Library back in July 2023 in response to the company that owns D&D's disastrous attempts at removing the game from public access. Rather than getting angry at them, I decided to create more of the kind of game I wanted to see; accessible, free, and inclusive.
Few things make me happier than running a table full of players who are having fun and creating memorable moments together!

Hello, I'm your friendly neighborhood Dungeon Master, Storyteller, World Builder, and resident Game Mommy.
I've spent over 20 years playing tabletop RPGs — D&D, Pathfinder, Shadowrun, Warhammer, World of Darkness, and more — and over 15 of those running tables as a DM.
In that time I've built whole worlds: languages, cultures, histories, the works. But what I love most is the players — the intense emotional moments, the creeping dread of eldritch horror, and the memories we make together at the table.
Pull up a chair, grab your dice, and let's tell a story.
