Main Library

Community Room

Enjoy a mini one-shot D&D adventure. For grades 6–9. Registration is required.

This event is a Dungeons & Dragons one-shot (a D&D adventure that is designed to be completed in one sitting). Created for middle school TTRPG enthusiasts, this adventure is designed for both veteran and new players; no experience is necessary! If you are brand new to D&D (or would just like a refresher on the basics), we recommend watching this short video before attending.

We will provide premade characters for everyone, but you are permitted to build and bring your own 3rd level character provided you use official 5th Edition rules (NOT the new 2024 or D&D One rules). 

As part of the registration, we ask that you share your level of experience with Dungeons and Dragons so that we can assign and build parties that are balanced between new and experienced players.

For any questions, please contact Teen Librarian Zach Reynolds at zreynolds@carmelclaylibrary.org.

If your teen needs special accommodations for this program to be successful, please let us know by calling the Teen Services Desk at 317.814.3983 or by emailing youngadult@carmelclaylibrary.org.

See you there, adventurers!
