Featured Experience: A Stranger Things–Inspired D+D One-Shot

Ever wanted to try Dungeons & Dragons (D+D) but didn’t know where to start? We’ll have a very limited number of reservations available to play in a special Hellfire Club campaign. Help finish the club’s final mission in this friendly, low-pressure one-shot designed for first-time players. No experience or character creation required. Just show up, roll some dice, take on terrifying monsters, and solve gnarly puzzles alongside a party of queer adventurers. Your DM (Dungeon Master) and skilled TTRPG facilitator will guide you through every step.

Our Commitment to Inclusivity

Tabletop Roleplaying Games (TTRPGs) like D+D are interactive and player-driven. We want every participant to feel comfortable and empowered to shape the story. Queerli is committed to fostering a safe and inclusive space where everyone feels welcome to enjoy the magic of TTRPGs, regardless of gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, mental health, neurotype, body, race, ethnicity, nationality, language, or religion. Any form of bigotry or discrimination will not be tolerated.
