D&D for Beginners: New Player Adventures (11-13) | 60min
New to D&D? Join a group that gets it. Learn while you play. Fun every week. (60-Minutes)
Hosted by 6 expert guides
New to D&D? This Club Is Built for You.
This club is for kids who are brand new to Dungeons & Dragons. You don’t need to know the rules. You don’t need to have played before. You just need to be ready for an awesome adventure — and maybe a few hilarious goblin moments.
Nervous to Try D&D? You’re Not Alone.
“What if I mess up?”
“What if I don’t get it?”
“What if everyone else already knows what to do?”
We hear this all the time. That’s why this club exists.
You’ll learn while you play — with help, laughs, and no pressure.
You won’t feel behind. You’ll feel like part of the group.
We’ll Help You Learn While You Play
Your Game Master is like your guide — they’ll help you learn the game step by step.
No boring rulebook lectures. You’ll learn while you play — with dragons, dungeons, and dice rolls.
You can ask anything. Everyone here is learning. That’s what makes it fun.
This Is D&D That’s Easy to Learn
The Game Master helps with everything — no experience needed
You’ll learn as you play — no pressure to get it all right
Everyone in your group is new too — you're not the only beginner
There’s room for mistakes, jokes, and wild moments — that’s part of the fun
How It Works (Even If You’ve Never Played)
You’ll play with other kids who are also new. Everyone’s learning together.
Use a premade character we give you — or bring your own if you’ve got one ready to go.
We’ll teach you everything you need while you explore, laugh, and roll the dice.
What You’re NOT Signing Up For
- • Lectures about rules before you can play
- • Worrying you’ll be the only one who’s new
- • A group where everyone already knows everything
What You’ll Get Instead
- • A fun group that learns together from Day 1
- • A Game Master who helps — and makes it fun along the way
- • A chance to go from “I don’t know how” to “this is the best part of my week”

For Grown-Ups: Why This Matters
If your child has struggled to connect, felt left out, or just hasn’t quite found their people — you’re not alone.
Guild of Imagination on Recess gives kids a place to feel seen, safe, and confident through guided, small-group storytelling.
Led by trained Game Masters, this weekly club is more than just a game. It’s a chance for your child to build friendships, grow socially, and be part of something that actually sticks.
Refund Policy:
Should you ever need to miss a week, just give us 48 hours notice and we'll refund 50% of the session fee after the session takes place to save the seat in class while you're away.
We ask all new players to join 10 minutes early to talk to the DM and get set up with their characters.

First Session Next Week!!!

For our first session, we'll mostly...
Sep 23 @ 9:36 PM
This week, we took a break from our game to do some character building activities! We built rivals, who will be included into our story, and worked on innovations and trends in the world that older adventurers don't approve of. Back in my day, we used our own magic.
Dec 23 @ 11:54 PM
With our combined cunning, we won the fight with the Owl by keeping our friends close and in the light, keeping everyone healed, and making decisive actions to chase off the Owl. Next week, we will head back to the Inkstone Steeple to hopefully get some kind of clues about what t...

Since it was just ***** and me this week, we talked a bit about how to motivate *****, and some more backstory stuff about how he met ******, and why they have the rivalrous relationship they do.
Oct 21 @ 10:55 PM
This week, we left *************** after *****' new condition was revealed to ***. *** was not happy and hurried the party out of town, heading towards ************ ***, where she believes that the library will have information on how to break the pact made with the ***. On the w...

This week we defeated the cultists on the bridge. Rather, ******, the monk, did, as *** the Ranger was tied up trying to free two doves from the burning bridge, and ***** tossed himself and ****** off the bridge and down the river for some distance. Next week, we will be heading ...
Dec 16 @ 11:30 PM
This week we had an intense combat, where the Hollow Wind has come, attacking the players with a storm of whirling, whispering, cutting winds, and a bitter icy cold. Right before we left for today, ******** went down in combat, succumbing to the brutal frost attack, and possibly ...
Nov 24 @ 9:38 PM
We spent this week discussing the secrets that *** has been hiding, really. This week was heavily leaning into the roleplay of interparty connections and the battle of privacy versus responsibility.
Sep 3 @ 2:58 AM
This week, we attended a town meeting in Houndsgard and discovered that many of the townsfolk are upset with the way the guards are dealing with *****'s claims of being attacked by an owl. ***** met *****, an old hedgehog who raises dogs as mounts, and who spoke of a time where t...
Oct 14 @ 10:42 PM
This week, we ventured into ***'s root cellar after he requested the party take care of his beetle problem. The beetles turned out to be agents of the Hollow Wind in disguise. The Hollow Wind used the beetles to manifest, and chose ***** to receive his "gifts".
Party leveled up!
Sep 16 @ 10:49 PM
This week we left from Houndsgard with ***, the ranger who explained that she and her friend ******** had been hunting the owl. She had seen the owl take ********, and would be traveling to Frostwing Glen. The party decided to follow her after a quick stop for dinner in town, whe...
Dec 10 @ 3:00 AM
Today, because I wasn't feeling well, we talked about some game tips and chatted. Next week, we will continue our story as planned, and see who the Hollow Wind chooses as a target.

Pirates Defeated, Queen's Privateer Saved!

This week we continued our journey to Frostwing Glen and had a chance encounter with *****' rival, ******. We did a bit of shopping but bought nothing, and will be heading to Frostwing in the morning!

This week, our party investigated the site of the owl attack at ********** ****. There, evidence was found of what happened, as well as a new face, who was also there to investigate the event. ***, a Red Tailed Hawk Ranger, claimed to be present at the time of the attack, and sai...
Oct 4 @ 9:45 PM
This week we finished out our first interaction with The Owl, and watched as it stole away with ******. Conveniently, *** reappeared after The Owl left. Some feelings were had about that, and ******, the father crow, got very upset with the heroes, demanding they leave. Before th...
