Absolutely not. Beginners are welcome. We can provide ready-to-play characters and Jamie will guide you through the rules as you go. You don't need an encyclopaedic knowledge of D&D to have a brilliant time.
One-shots and birthdays typically work best with 4–8 players. Campaigns and weddings can flex around that depending on the format. Corporate events can scale to larger groups by running multiple tables. Let us know your numbers and we'll advise.
For private sessions, we'll agree what the quote includes before you book. Our one-shots include game preparation, characters if needed, dice, maps, props and an immersive sound, lighting and terrain setup where the space allows. Venue hire, catering and extra event styling are normally quoted separately. Destination Dice is a different experience: accommodation, food, snacks and drinks are planned as part of the retreat package.
Private events can run in person across Kent — at your home, a venue you've booked or a suitable space we help you find. We can discuss travel further afield and online games on request. Our Destination Dice weekend retreats are being planned at properties across Kent, Essex and Sussex, with exact venues still to be confirmed.
One-shots typically run 3–4 hours. Campaign sessions run 4–6 hours. Wedding-tied events vary depending on the story — we'll agree a schedule with you upfront.
For one-shots and birthdays, 4–6 weeks' notice gives us time to write a session tailored to your group. Campaigns and weddings, being multi-stage, benefit from longer lead times — the earlier we can talk, the better we can plan around your dates.
For suitable private events, yes — we offer young adventurers' sessions from age 10 and tailor the game to the group. Please include the children's ages when enquiring. We will confirm the age policy for Destination Dice when bookings open.
For our adult (18+) sessions, we use Lines and Veils, a well-established tabletop safety tool. Before every session we ask the group for Lines (topics that won't appear in the story at all) and Veils (topics that can happen in the story but fade to black rather than being played out in detail). It means everyone at the table — including complete newcomers — feels comfortable from the first roll. You can read more about Lines and Veils here, or fill out your own on our Quest Prep page. For children's parties, we use our separate Young Adventurers' Party Sheet instead, which is written with under-18s in mind.
Great — tell us about them. We're happy to build a session around existing characters, homebrew worlds, or a favourite published setting rather than starting from scratch.
Dungeons & Dragons is at the heart of what we do, but Jamie also loves other tabletop roleplaying games. If your group is interested in a different system, tell us when you enquire and we'll discuss what might work.
Our new D&D weekends away are planned for March 2027. Expect over 12 hours of immersive gameplay, two nights' accommodation, food, snacks and drinks, and plenty of time to unwind and enjoy the company. More details will follow as we confirm venues.
We are looking at beautiful locations in Kent, Essex and Sussex. No individual property has been announced as a confirmed retreat venue yet.
Of course! You can register your interest without bringing an entire party. We're designing Destination Dice around small, welcoming groups, whether you know everyone already or are meeting fellow adventurers for the first time.
Not yet. Signing up just means we can email you as dates, venues and booking details are confirmed. There's no payment or commitment at this stage.
