Before Your First Game

• Player Conduct. Please review the Player Conduct. It is available in this public drive.
• Additional Materials. Having a copy of the Player's Handbook (available at Fair Game) or the D&D Basic Rules (which are available for free) will be helpful, though far from necessary.
• Character Creation. New players are encouraged to choose a pregenerated character during their first session. Experienced players can create their own character following our program rules. Players who have participated in our program are invited to bring back their character from previous seasons. You can access our library of pregenerated characters, blank character sheets, and the character creation rules in this public drive.

In-Person Games

• Pencils, miniatures, terrain, rulebooks, and other peripherals will be provided by the store for each game. Players will not need to provide these materials.
• If your participant has never been involved with the YDND program before, they will receive a character sheet and dice during the first session. These are theirs to keep, though they must bring back these materials for subsequent sessions.
• Players are invited to bring other things, like miniatures and rulebooks, with them to the session, though these are not required.
• The store sells snacks, soda, and water bottles. Participants are also invited to bring snacks and drinks from home (though messy foods should be avoided).
• Participants are encouraged to bring other passive activities to use during the session, like fidget toys and sketch pads. However, distracting items like smartphones, handheld video games systems, and laptops should be left at home or packed away in a backpack. If you are uncertain if an item will be too distracting, please reach out to us.
