Play
At Day of Dungeons, the TTRPG community comes together for one purpose: to play. The one-shot game sessions are the heart of the festival, where every roll of the dice ignites legendary tales and bonds are forged in the fires of adventure. The workshops, markets, mini-painting and other activities add to the spectacle, but playing is what it’s all about.
So, leave the ordinary world behind and step into realms of magic, mystery, and wonder. This is your adventure.
How It Works
- Pick Your Path: Explore our curated selection of one-shot games. We’ve got the classics like Dungeons & Dragons, but also Call of Chtulhu, The One Ring, Mörk Borg …
- For Every Level of Adventurer: No experience? No problem. Our expert game masters are here to guide players of all experience levels through the game. Everyone is welcome!
- One Session, One Adventure: Each participant can choose one game to play in during the festival, so pick the world that calls to you the most! There are three time slots to start in.
- No Need to Register: With your ticket, you can freely take a seat at one of the tables. Simply be on time when the game starts, pick an empty seat and join in.
- The Power of Play: The festival isn’t just about the games, it’s about the community. Join like-minded adventurers, forge new friendships, and create unforgettable stories that will live long after the dice are put away.
Levels & Themes
- Taking place in the beautiful Saint Peter's Abbey, the stories this year will center around the theme of Sanctuary.
- Dungeons & Dragons 5E will be played at level 2 for beginners, at level 8 for advanced players, and at level 14 for experts looking for a challenge. You can bring your own character (only official rules for character creation) or be provided with one. For level 2, you can choose to play with 2014 or 2024 rules; for higher levels, you play with 2014 rules.
- For other TTRPGs the stories will be played at entry level, allowing anyone to try something new. Character sheets will be provided.
- Sessions will be in English, or —depending on the GM and the players at the table— in Dutch or French.
- On average, each one-shot will last for 2,5 hours.
- You need to be at least 15 years old to join one of these tables.
- We have a few tables for children aged 8-14, for which you can register seperately when buying your ticket.
- Additionally, we have one low-stimulus session with a focus on accessibility, that is open to people with special needs. You can apply to join this session at checkout, but seats are limited.
