Dungeons & Dragons Club

Our Dungeons & Dragons program has moved online! Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a tabletop role-playing game where players create their own characters and go on adventures. Players communicate and work together to overcome obstacles and advance further in the game, making new friends along the way. For D&D Online, players will use free internet programs to play the game and connect with each other in real time, no downloads necessary. A computer with an internet connection is required to participate in this program.

Who can participate?
Our regular D&D club is open to children ages 9-14.  However, we also have a D&D Plus program that is open to everyone ages 15 and above.  Space is limited, so make sure you register for the program using the contact form below, or call us at (502) 255-7362.

What if I've never played D&D before?
That's perfectly fine! Many of our club members had never played D&D before joining our program.  We welcome everyone to join our club regardless of previous experience with the game.  Our staff and other club members will be happy to help you learn how to play.

How does the online club work?
We will meet online once a week.  There are two web applications we will be using: Discord and Roll20.  Discord is an online app that allows people to communicate over the Internet.  We will connect to Discord during our sessions for a group call where everyone in the group can speak and hear each other.  We will also use Discord to post announcements and updates during the week.  Roll20 is the web application we will use to play D&D online.  It allows players to roll dice, keep track of their characters, and much more.  Players will need to create accounts for both Discord and Roll20 to participate in our club.

Are these websites secure?
Yes.  On both Discord and Roll20, players will be in a closed, private group-- not viewable by other users.  Only players, staff members, and approved library volunteers will be able to join the group calls and game sessions.

How do I sign up?
Fill out the contact form below with your information and it will be sent to a library staff member.  Younger players should be sure to have their parent's or guardian's permission before signing up.  We will then contact you with details on how to create Discord and Roll20 accounts.  You will also receive an invite that will allow you to join our closed groups on Discord and Roll20.
