Flexibility: Our D&D campaigns are adaptable to different participant needs, allowing for personalised pacing and adjustments to accommodate mentees’ individual support requirements.
What happens if I miss a session?: If a participant misses a session, we work with them to help them rejoin the campaign and catch up as needed.
How to join in three easy steps
Check the timetable: New dates drop regularly; book the sessions that suit your schedule.
Complete enrolment: One quick form covers consent, device details and (if relevant) NDIS plan-manager info.
Log on & roll for adventure: Start with a brief welcome and campaign introduction, including group goals and shared agreements to keep the space safe and respectful. Then the quest begins, with everyone stepping into the story together. All participants receive a pre-session email with the Zoom link, any materials needed for the campaign, a quick-start guide, and mentor bios so they feel prepared and ready to play.
