Common Questions.
If you do not see what you are looking for, just get in touch.
Booking & Logistics
How far in advance do I need to book?
Two to three weeks is usually fine. For larger events, school workshops, or busy periods like Christmas or summer, four to six weeks is better. Get in touch as early as you can.
Do you travel outside Galway?
Yes. I'm based in Galway but will travel anywhere in the country. Travel costs may apply outside Connacht.
How much does a session cost?
Kids sessions are €40 per hour for the group (up to five players). Adult sessions are also €40 per hour for the group. Parties start from €60 per hour. Larger events and school workshops are priced on request, depending on group size, format and length. Send me the details and I will come back with a proposal.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, to confirm a booking. The details are in the proposal I send once we have talked about your event.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Give me as much notice as you can. The cancellation and rescheduling terms are in the booking agreement.
The Sessions
Do guests need any experience?
None. I explain everything and run the game, and everyone is playing from the first minute.
What do you bring? What do I need to provide?
I bring the games, dice, character cards and everything else. You provide a table, chairs and the people.
How many people can you run a session for?
D&D works best with 3 to 5 players. Social deduction games work for 8 to 30, and school workshops take up to 30 students. If your group is bigger or unusual, get in touch. Most things can be adapted.
Can sessions be run at my home or venue?
Yes. I come to you, whether that is a private home, community hall, school, pub function room or anywhere else you have booked.
What if some guests are really not into games?
That happens at most sessions. I run things so nobody feels put on the spot, and the reluctant ones are usually the most fun to watch come round.
Kids & Schools
Are the children's sessions age-appropriate?
Yes. Children's sessions use different content and formats to adult ones. They are cooperative rather than competitive, move faster, and suit the age group. Tell me your children's ages and I will tell you what I would run.
Are sessions suitable for schools and youth groups?
Yes. Kids get practice at communication, critical thinking, leadership and working together. Sessions sit well alongside TY programmes, SPHE and digital wellness work, and I am happy to talk through how one would fit your school's programme.
What age are kids' sessions suitable for?
From age 10 up. A group of 10-year-olds runs very differently to a group of 15-year-olds, so let me know the ages when you get in touch.
Is D&D suitable for autistic kids or kids with ADHD?
Yes. I run small, sensory-aware groups of four or five players with clear turns, visual handouts and breaks whenever they are needed. Players don't need a diagnosis to join.
Neurodivergent-friendly D&D →Adult Events
Can a D&D session work for a hen or stag?
Yes, it is one of the most popular options for hens and stags. A one-shot adventure is self-contained and needs no prior knowledge. I set the tone to suit the group, anywhere from light and silly to dramatic.
Can I combine formats in one event?
Yes. For longer events, a social deduction session followed by a D&D one-shot works well, or a few rounds of different games. Tell me what you are planning and I will suggest a running order.
