Day of Dungeons starts at 9:00 a.m., with the first play sessions beginning at 10 a.m..
The final play sessions end around 7 p.m., but be sure to stick around for our evening show until about 10 p.m.!
Address: Sint-Pietersplein 9, 9000 Ghent
Getting there is a walk in the park. Literally: the abbey is just around the corner from the Citadelpark.
By public transport, you can take the train to Gent-Sint-Pieters Station. From there, it’s a 20 minute walk, or you can take the bus to get to the stop Heuvelpoort or Sint-Pietersplein.
By car, there’s the 24/7 underground parking Sint-Pietersplein right in front of the abbey.
Yes, there will be a variety of meals and drinks available at the festival. Food trucks in the garden will be replenishing your energy levels. To quench your thirst and satisfy small cravings, the tavern is the place to be.

Dungeons & Dragons is still the biggest and most popular TTRPG, and most tables at the festival will host D&D games. However, we love including other systems, with Game Masters giving introductions to Call of Chtulhu, The One Ring, Avatar Legends and others.
In 2024, Wizards of the Coast published a new version of their D&D 5th edition ruleset. For the games played at the festival, this means that at level 2, most sessions will use the 2024 version. For higher levels, the 2014 rules will generally be used, unless specifically stated otherwise.

Your entrance ticket allows you to play 1 game session at 1 table during 1 of the 3 time slots. You can browse the games beforehand here, but seats are first-come, first-served based on availability—so be sure to arrive on time. If you’re open to surprises, you can also find an open spot on the day itself. We recommend choosing a game that suits your skill level for the best experience!
For most TTRPGs, the GM will provide pre-generated entry-level characters. If you’re familiar with the game, you can bring your own character, but it must be approved by the GM at the start of the session.
For D&D, we will also provide pre-generated characters. Alternatively, you can create your character using official rules*, starting at level 2, 8, or 14—just ensure it fits the level. Only official content is allowed, with optional rules (like Tasha’s) being acceptable. Use the standard array or point buy for your stats, and both multiclassing and feats are permitted. At level 2, use starting gear; at higher levels, you can equip any non-magical armor and weapons.

You can choose with which ruleset you create your character. For higher levels, you can only create a character according to 2014 rules.
The festival is aimed at a mature audience as some games have a horror or adult theme. We do not recommend joining under the age of 15.
However, we have a few introductory TTRPG sessions for children aged 8-14. Seats for these are limited, but you can apply for registration by sending us an email at dm@dayofdungeons.be. Please include the age of the child you are registering.
We do not offer activities for children younger than 8 years old.
Absolutely, we will guide you! There will be beginner tables, where the game will be explained and where you’ll be able to learn by playing. For D&D sessions, you need to play at level 2. For other TTRPGs, all sessions will focus on learning the game.
