Dungeons and Dragons

Contact the Convenor Martin Benton

We now have two separate games being played in the group.

The original game reached the conclusion of its first “arc”, after over a year of play, with an epic battle against a White Dragon on the roof of Icespire Hold.

The group were rewarded well for their efforts but it came with a catch. They have been charged with investigating a mysterious group called the Cult of the Dragon. That’s what happens when you get the reputation of dragon slayers! Our “heroes” find themselves in a town beseiged by the aforementioned Cult and a rather large Blue Dragon. They are trying to get as many townsfolk as possible to the safety of the town’s castle.

Our new game came out of the offer to introduce newcomers to D&D with a one-off session. Everyone enjoyed themselves so much, it immediately became an established game. It’s early days and the team are just making a reputation for themselves. They are currently planning how to break into a temple to “retrieve” a special crest held in its vault.

We continue the offer of running a one-shot for anyone interested in playing. You would also be very welcome to come along to one of our games to see how it’s played. I think our members have comprehensively disproved the fallacy that D&D is only for adolescent males hidden away in their bedrooms! Come along and find out what it’s all about.

Sadly, we have “run out” of players who would like to lead another game (Dungeon or Game Masters). Consequently, we could not guarantee that a one-off would turn into a new game. With that in mind, if you’ve been a Dungeon Master in the past and would like to get back into it, please let me know.

Latest news from the group

Come and Play Dungeons & Dragons

Published 11th April 2024

You may have read Peter Grehan’s piece in this year’s magazine. Peter is co-convenor of the Wordsmiths group and also plays D&D with us. He brought the two together by chronicling an episode of the story we are creating in our current campaign (Clearing of the Keep). People tend not to know about this aspect of the game.

The D&D group is just over a year old. In that time, we have had some enquiries and a couple of people have come along to watch us play. Unfortunately, our game has a full complement of players and we couldn’t invite anyone to join us. However, we now find ourselves in the position of potentially starting a second game.

To that end, we would like to run a single session “one shot”, a short scenario to be finished in 2 or 3 hours. D&D is very newcomer friendly. No experience is required. We’ll provide all you need to play. Just bring along your imagination!

Drop me a mail (dungeons.dragons@cardiffu3a.org.uk) , if you’d like to give it a try. If we get enough interest we’ll organise a mutually agreeable date for a game.
