Curious about playing Dungeons & Dragons but don’t know where to begin? Let Bristol’s experienced Dungeon Masters guide you through an epic adventure, whether it's your first time or you're an experienced player. Bring your friends or come and make a fellowship as you play!
Dungeons & Dragons is about storytelling in worlds of swords and sorcery. Like games of make-believe, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing a crumbling castle in a darkening forest and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents.
Unlike a game of make-believe, D&D gives structure to the stories—a way of determining the consequences of the adventurers’ actions. Players roll the dice to determine whether their attacks hit or miss. Whether their characters can scale a cliff, roll away from the strike of a magical lightning bolt, or pull off a dangerous task. In this fantasy world, the possibilities are limitless - it's all part of the charm.
Rule of Play's Dungeon Masters will create your world, explain the rules of play, and guide you through a fully immersive and individual experience. It’s like being in your own action-adventure movie.
Rules of Play were running D&D nights at Playground for a year, with an intimate atmosphere and excellent range of great coffee, beer and cocktails.
They'll be running a series of 4-hour one-shot episodes that are suitable for people of any range of experience. Your hosts will have characters ready for you to play and you’ll get a guide to your unique character’s personality, skills, weaknesses, and traits. You're welcome to bring your own level one character if you have one.
The world of D&D is summoning you - what are you waiting for!

We had a lovely time with Matt, awesome experience!
I had an amazing time at the Dungeons and Dragons game night hosted by a wonderful individual. The atmosphere was welcoming and the host was incredibly engaging. From the moment I arrived, I felt like I was part of the action. The game itself was challenging, but so much fun, and I loved the creativity that went into it. Overall, I would highly recommend attending this game night to anyone who loves Dungeons and Dragons or just wants to have a great time with friends. Five stars all around!
Jaz was a fantastic DM that explained how to play in terms that I understood and guided us into our first D&D adventure. The atmosphere (and venue) held a warm and welcoming vibe that contributed to our wondrous evening.
Had a great time.
I'd definitely recommend I went with my partner and we had an amazing time. We are new to the game and we were paired with 4 others also new the story was fun and when we didn't stick 100% to the story the DM just rolled with it 10/10.
Very fun one-shot, totally beginner friendly and we all had a wonderful time.
An excellent one-shot session of D&D that featured exemplary story-telling, pacing and action.
A great first experience of playing with an excellent DM!
Great time again. Dungeon Master was friendly and generally excellent.
It was a lovely venue, with a really nice group, who took me through it as a beginner.
The Dungeon Masters were really great and were the perfect guides to our first D&D experience. They explained clearly and gave us tips on running our own campaign. I am confident trying D&D again whether it’s another yuup or trying it on my own! The location was really good too, laidback and cozy.
Really enjoyed it
Always a really fun evening, very accessible for people who have never played before as all the DMs are so welcoming and encouraging!!
Really enjoyable evening, great host and great location!
Really good fun - a complex game made really accessible for a novice like me.
A fun evening. People were so patient
Really fab experience for anyone who wants to try out DnD. The team were super enthusiastic and it was a really fun experience.
I've never played before but the group I joined and especially the DM were very welcoming and supportive. I really enjoyed the evening, met some great people and will definitely come again. Recommended to anyone with an active imagination and a sense of fun.
Fantastic experience! Was our first DND experience, the host was brilliant - everyone had the best time. Lovely venue with great drinks too, and some atmospheric music. Highly recommend.
Excellent night. As a first timer I felt like Matt was a patient and attentive DM and I think all players at our table had a thoroughly good evening.
