How can I join a D&D Ragnarök Adventures?

Each D&D Adventure will start exactly at their scheduled start time, please arrive a few min early. These events are a “sign-up when you arrive” at the festival on a first come, first served basis. There will be a sign-up sheet in Asgard (Castle Bridge Building) for you to leave your information to join a game. Each game will consist of 7 players and if you are called, but arrive late, your spot will go to the next player waiting at the start of each game. Each player will be given a pre-con character so they can get started right away! - More information on the D&D page.
