Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures on the High Seas

Have you wondered what Dungeons and Dragons is like? Are you interested in Role Playing Games? Have you played before, but didn’t think there was anyone in Hartlepool to play with? Between April and June we’ll be running a series of day-long, ‘one shot’ D&D sessions. Turn up in the morning, we’ll provide some lunch too, and engage in a high-seas adventure over 5-6 hours!
We’ll provide everything you need, including notepads, pencils, and dice (although, if you already have your own favourite dice, you’re welcome to bring them along!).
Dungeons and Dragons is a collaborative story telling game. Your professional GM will guide you through the rules, as your party encounters a series of obstacles, monsters, and puzzles (maybe pirates), as you fight/cheat/steal your way to victory. Maybe.
No experience necessary – this is an ideal way to get into D&D.
We have dates throughout May and June 2023.

Armada - Miniature Sea Battles

We’ll provide everything you need to get started for your first battles. Join our ‘paint and play’ sessions, and we’ll provide you with your own fleet of ships to paint and battle with. After an exhibition in June, these will be yours to keep!
Armada is the game of fantasy naval warfare for two or more players. Choose your side and then command a fleet of miniatures to represent powerful navies such as the stoic and pious Basileans, or plot carnage and destruction with the rampaging orcs.
Everyone will receive a fleet starter set and we can teach you how to play. We also have paints, brushes, and expertise to share! A fantastic introduction to a new hobby.
Which faction will you choose? Check out your options here.
