DM's will welcome you at their tables to play the most glorious of oneshots. This is what the festival is all about!

Location tavern
The dumb barbarian entered the tavern, accompanied by the lone wolf rogue, the overly social bard and the holier-than-thou paladin. There’s nothing wrong with these stereotypes and they can be a blast to play. But what if you want to take your character concept a little further? Maybe the barbarian is a wise warrior capable of entering a battle trance? Maybe the rogue didn’t lose their parents in a tragic accident?
Nick (Elven voor Twaalven) & Rick Vechel (Vechel Fantasy) will poke your brain and tease your imagination to take your character creation-abilities to the next level. They are here to help you create a character that breaks the stereotypes and that will surely be a memorable addition to any story they are part of! Stop on by and let our experts broaden your horizons.

Once upon a midday dreary
Six heroes wandered weak and weary
Day of Dungeons would of course not be complete without a live-play event. Dungeon Master Sam (The Attic Dungeon) is hosting an adventure based on “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe. The willing souls subjected to this gothic adventure are none other than Lien Deplancke and Kenneth Baert from Stuutjes & Draken, Lara Braeken and Nick Anne from Elven from Twaalven and Thomas Goyvaerts from Nooi.
Their characters will venture into the mansion of Inno Minatam, a poor man who has recently suffered the loss of his beloved Lenore. Since her death, he has gone into seclusion. Rumours have been going around that he has started dabbling in the occult arts, hoping to retrieve his lost love.
Friends & family have tried to enter the mansion, but have been dissuaded by a raven spirit guarding the mansion. They have hired our intrepid adventurers, hoping that they can find out how Inno is doing.
A special shout-out to Tine Mertens, who is providing a most wonderful terrain crafted especially for this adventure.

Near the end of the festival, when only the most dedicated remain, Jelmer (Helden op Papier) and Mr Tarrasque will be divulging their best guarded DM secrets. This spilling of secrets will be moderated by Jolan from D&D Gent. You can be assured that the conversation will be a delightful mix of tips from Jelmer & Mr T., balanced with questions from an audience that hungers for answers to their most challenging, DM-related questions.
