Welcome to Dungeons & Dragons as you've never seen it before.

Inspired by Britain’s mythic, folkloric past, where people are cautious of the shadows between the trees; where settlements co-exist with ruins of civilisations built long ago and by ancient, unknowable beings. Old and New Gods jostle for power, and monsters are terrifying and strange to civilised and respectable folk - all run with small group tables, in an 18th century Sussex Manor House.

Battle-hungry warriors, druids of the Old Gods, clerics of the New Gods, and scholars blessed or cursed with minds wild enough to wield magic, join forces with other characters, in this mossy, mysterious and magical world.

Set in a fabled past, reimagined for modern D&D players – veterans and novices alike, come with us to hunt an ancient evil, haunting forgotten ruins and lightless forests, where only the bravest, cleverest, and most skilled will survive … and the enemy is always closer than you think.

Specially written and presented by professional GMs, this adventure will be run for tables of no more than five, to keep action and interaction to a maximum. The event happens over two days, with the adventure split into chapters, with each section run by a different GM so that all can experience a range of different styles.

Refreshments soft and alcoholic drinks will be available throughout the days, as will lunch on day 1, and breakfast and lunch on day 2.

Age suitability: 16+ adults (each under 18 attendee must be accompanied by an attendee aged 18+)

What players have said about previous Rogue20 game events:

“Really loved it. Thanks! Can’t wait for the next ones! And it was fun to mix up the GMs. It gave each section a fresh start which was useful for such a long day playing.”
“The whole day was a nice fun atmosphere. All the GMs were lovely and individual, the story was fun as were the players.”

For those with dyslexia and additional neurodivergent needs, specifically designed character sheets are available, and all our GMs have experience in running games for diverse groups.

Novices and veterans are all welcome and you will be brought into the groups that most suit your playing level.
