Dungeons and Dragons!
Perhaps you’ve heard of Dungeons and Dragons through shows like Stranger Things or maybe you watch Critical Role or Dimension 20? Despite the flood of podcasts, videos, streamers, and overall content revolving around Dungeons and Dragons, starting up with your own characters and campaign can be a challenge. The Falmouth Public Library is here to help buff your knowledge and make the challenge rating of Dungeons and Dragons easier to take on!
Join us in the first steps of your Dungeons and Dragons journey! If you’ve ever been curious about trying out this popular tabletop role-playing game or if you want to connect with players and learn more, our upcoming programs for teens and young adults should be right for you.
Note: September 26th and October 17th are early release days for Falmouth Public Schools.
Intro to Dungeons and Dragons
Tuesday, September 26th, 12pm-1pm
YA Room
On September 26th we’ll be going over the basics for understanding Dungeons and Dragons. We’ll cover everything from basic rules, what a session zero is, how to approach character creation, and more. Starting and maintaining a campaign can be daunting, but we’re here to help smooth the bumps in the road and make this monster of a game a bit more approachable. Pizza and refreshments will be provided! CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
Character Creation
Tuesday, October 17th, 12pm-1:30pm

Follow up with us on October 17th for a program dedicated to creating your very own Dungeons and Dragons character. Whether it’s your first character or you have any questions about making a character and bringing them to life, we’ll cover the basic topics and dive into anything you might want to know more about. There are many ways to make and play your character so come by with a blank slate or with character ideas in mind and we’ll help you craft your character sheet! Snacks and refreshments will be provided! CLICK HERE TO REGISTER.
My youngest brother who passed away in 2004 was a big aficionado of D&D. It as a board game he played in the early 1980s as a teen. Can geezers play? I am his oldest sister and am quite old but wanted to learn to honor him.
This program is aimed at Teens and Young Adults but you are not the first older person to express interest! We’ve noticed and are discussing future events aimed at those older than the Young Adult demographic. Stay tuned!
Hi Meaghan! In January 2024, we will have two Dungeons and Dragons programs for adults. The first is a combined Introduction and Character Creation class on Tuesday, January 16th from 6:30pm-8pm. That program will directly led into our next one which is a six week long campaign for adult beginners wanting to try playing Dungeons and Dragons. The adult D&D campaign begins on Tuesday, January 23rd and runs through Tuesday, February 27th. The group will meet once a week on Tuesdays from 6pm-8pm. If you are interested in trying your hand at D&D with us, you can register using our library event calendar or by calling us at 508-457-2555 x7. Thank you for you interest!
Isn’t the time during school for teenagers?
Great question! We have timed it for ‘Early Release Day’ that month, for the Falmouth Schools.
I would definitely be interested in an Adult Dungeon and Dragons event at the Library. How can I receive notification to stay updated on events that the library would be planning to hold? Also have you looked into D&D Beyond app to help with managing campaigns and Characters creation process. It through Wizards of the Coast which makes it legit and it’s also free.

Hi Calvin! We are currently looking for another Dungeon Master before we start our second campaign. If you have any interest in leading the group, certainly let me know! It will be running on the same schedule of Tuesday 6:00 – 8:00. Thank you so much interest and passion! I’d love to explore the possibly of using digital materials given how expensive the physical books are.
