Suggested tip for the sessions varies between $10 and $30 dollars depending on length. Check the Meetup event page on a per-session basis for more details.

“Established back in 2017, this Meetup was first launched to introduce both newcomers and veteran players to the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons.

Types of Sessions Currently Being Held

  • Character Creation: Starting from scratch. Making characters from the books OR from DnD Byond.
  • Character Building: Take characters you’ve already made or started at Character Building Sessions, completing character creation, leveling them up, making changes, etc
  • Newbie Focuses: Think the tutorial level on a video game. The focus is on learning with the adventure as a backdrop rather than focusing on the adventure. We pause to go over rules, ask questions, etc.
  • Newbie Friendly: similar to Newbie Focused, but we flip it to putting the adventure first with being able to pause to answer questions. It means you as the player have to proactively seek help, clarification, etc.
  • Mini Campaigns: Always newbie friendly, but the story stretches over 4-6 sessions.
  • Campaigns: Always newbie friendly, but the story stretches over a year. Maybe more.

We have made the switch to the 2024 ruleset. All campaigns and adventures posted in this meetup will use the new/updated rules. Anyone wanting to let others know about games, campaigns, or adventures being help around Portland, please feel free to post in the discussion board. With the following caveats:

  • The campaign / adventure will be held in a public place
  • It will welcome and respect all players
  • It will not include any sexual violence, violence against children, or violence against a person’s identity.

In a game that’s always evolving with new adventures and source books every year, we embrace the ‘newbie’ mindset. We celebrate the excitement of discovery, the thrill of the unexpected, and the joy of learning at every turn.

Each DM manages their own games, adventures, and sessions.”
