Dungeons & Dragons is back at Brantford Public Library! Registration is required. This group is for ages 10-16. No experience required.
D&D is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game which lets players create their own character, use their imagination, interact with other characters, and make decisions to overcome challenges. An experienced Dungeon Master (DM) will guide you through the game, serve as referee and storyteller, and keep you engaged in a linked series of adventures (commonly referred to as a "campaign").
This program is currently full. Please email pdoliska@brantfordlibrary.ca to be added to the waiting list.
