The Rules

We keep tables safe, welcoming, and fun. Review the key rules below; each expands for details.

Table rating & safety tools

Games are PG‑13. We use safety tools (e.g., Lines & Veils, X‑Card) and a Session Zero to set expectations. Check in with your table if content becomes uncomfortable.

Respect the table

Let everyone play. No harassment, hate speech, or disruptive behavior. Be on time, be prepared, and give others the spotlight.

Rules references

We use the current D&D 5e ruleset (2024 update friendly). The DM has final say at the table; rules debates happen after the session.

Character guidelines

No PvP, theft from party members, or disruptive edgelord antics unless the whole table opts in. Homebrew is allowed with DM approval.

Attendance & cancellations

If you can't make it, ping your DM as early as possible so we can fill the seat or adjust the session plan.

Creating a Character

Three quick paths to hit the table. Ask a DM if you're unsure which is best.

Quick‑Start

Level 1 in 10 minutes

  • Choose a class and background.
  • Use standard array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8).
  • Pick a simple weapon & armor; note AC and HP.
  • Write a 1‑sentence goal: “I must …”.
Builder

Custom build with options

Use any official source books with your DM’s approval. Feats on or off per table. Tasha’s optional class features are allowed unless noted.

Pre‑Gen

Grab & play

Borrow a pre‑generated sheet and focus on the story. Great for first‑timers or jumping into a one‑shot.

Being a Dungeon Master

We love our DMs. We support prep, safety, and logistics so you can focus on the fun parts.

Run what you love

One‑shots, short arcs, or campaigns. Publish a blurb, level range, content notes, and seats. We'll help match players.

Support & resources

Maps, tokens, pre‑gens, safety tools, and encounter help are available. New DMs can shadow or co‑DM their first session.

Table etiquette

Keep pacing brisk, share spotlight, and rule with kindness. If in doubt, rule now—research later.
