This month, our friends at Lyons Township High School in La Grange are hosting Lyon Con, an annual convention "featuring vendors, artists,  tabletop role-playing games, board games, card games, cosplay and a costume contest, photo ops, and more." We have partnered with them to host two Youth Dungeons and Dragons events on Saturday, February 24.

Participants who preregister for a seat at the table will not need to buy a badge for Lyon Con separately.

We will be hosting two separate events:

• YDND Parent/Child Game, 11 AM to 1 PM. Each entry will accommodate one player ages 8-17 and an accompanying parent.  Previous D&D experience and involvement in our Youth Dungeons & Dragons program is not needed, nor is any knowledge of D&D or other tabletop role-playing games. Our team of professional Dungeon Masters will provide and teach you everything you need to know about Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition.

• Mortifying Mansion Epic Adventure, 4 to 6 PM. Young adventurers are invited to join us in the evening for an adventure like no other! Participants ages 8-17 will work together to explore a vast and dangerous mansion. But this challenge is too perilous for one adventuring party to accomplish by themselves – all tables will need to work together to survive the mortifying mansion. New and experienced players are invited to join us for this event. Tables will be run by high school students and managed by Fair Game staff.

Participants are welcome to register for both events (while parents won't be able to join in the later game,  they are invited to enjoy other convention activities!)

Preregistration is very important! These events traditionally sell out, so please reserve your spot if you would like to participate.

Additional Information

1. Please review our Code of Conduct.
2. We will provide dice, character sheets, and all other materials needed for the game. All you need to bring is a sense of boundless creativity and a sense of adventure.
3. Kids must be ages 8-17 to participate. If you would like to bring more than one child or more than one parent for the earlier table, please register for your seat and email [email protected] with more information. We will let you know if the table can accommodate another player.
4. We will have pregenerated character options available for players. If you would like to choose your character in advance, you will find them here. If you would like to build your own character for the event, you are welcome to create your own following the guidelines found here. If your young player is involved in our YDND program already, they are welcome to use the same character that they do in their regular game.
