Guild of the Phoenix welcomes newcomers and long-time Dungeons & Dragons players alike for open-table play hosted by volunteer Dungeon Masters.

Participants of any age are welcome as long as they are eager and ready to play. You will often be paired with people you have not met before. DMs work to keep gameplay family friendly, roughly at a PG-13 level, though experiences can vary based on fellow players. Please plan to be courteous and respectful throughout this immersive event.
