What we’re about
Are you eager to dive into the world of Dungeons & Dragons, especially the old-school style? We are looking for new members whether you're a newcomer wanting to learn, someone picking it back up, or an experienced player looking for a friendly group.
We play a rules light, fast, old school version of D&D called "Shadowdark" that is easy to learn (We don't play 5e). https://youtu.be/yF7lkKilVnI?t=5

See all- [D&D/Shadowdark] Barrowmaze Open Table Campaign | Session #1Caribu Coffee, Dubai
Looking for a fun, low-pressure dungeon crawl? Join us for the first session of our D&D/Shadowdark RPG: Barrowmaze Campaign, where you'll explore ancient tombs, dodge traps, and face off against creepy creatures lurking in the dark.
Don't worry if you can't make every session—this is an open table campaign, so you can drop in whenever it works for you. Each session is a new adventure so that you can jump in anytime!
What You Can Expect:
- Classic Dungeon-Crawling: Think treasure, traps, and plenty of undead to keep things interesting. You and your fellow adventurers will explore the dangerous Barrowmaze, risking it all for the chance at some sweet loot.
- Player Choice: You decide where to go and what to do. Want to play it safe, or push deeper into the maze for bigger rewards?
- New Players Welcome: Whether you're a longtime RPG veteran or new to D&D/Shadowdark, everyone's welcome. We'll help you get started, and you'll be rolling dice and adventuring in no time!
- Open Table Format: Every session is a stand-alone adventure, so you can join anytime without worrying about missing previous games. Survive this session? Bring your character back for the next! And if things don't go as planned, it's easy to roll up a new character and keep going.
What to Bring:
- Character Sheet: Use Shadowdarklings to create your character—it's quick, easy, and gets you into the game fast. Or, if you prefer, we'll have pre-generated characters ready for you to jump right in. We play with the core character options, but you can ask if you want to play more exotic.
- Dice: If you have a set of dice (d20, d12, d10, d8, d6, d4), bring them along. If not, no worries—we've got extra sets.
- Paper and Pencil: Always handy for jotting down loot, clues, and notes about the dungeon.
- A Sense of Adventure: Whether you're charging in headfirst or playing it smart, Barrowmaze is full of surprises. Come ready for action!
Character creating Details:
- We use the 4 core classes (Fighter, Thief, Wizard, Priest) + Bard and Ranger.
- Attributes are generated with 3d6 down the line and re-roll if no score is above 14.
- All other rules follow the standard Shadowdark rules
- Torch timers are 30min
- Each player gets a luck token at the start of the session
