### ## \*EDIT: still some spots remaining for Sunday, 23 August at 10:00 AM Hey all! I’ve got a space rented out to host some D&D games, and I’ll be running some free sessions this weekend & next week(end) in the 3rd district. Consider this your official invitation! ![IMG_20260813_143441290_HDR](https://www.rpgvienna.com/uploads/default/original/2X/8/83558cc025d9cafe7780c56cd7d388e5ef0e1668.jpeg) I’m planning to gear it towards beginners, although experienced people are also welcome — this makes it the perfect opportunity to bring along a newbie friend, so they can finally become addicted to D&D like the rest of us! 😈 The specific times & adventure depends on who signs up (what their experience level is) and people’s availability. But here are tentative upcoming dates you can choose from: - _[EDIT: fully booked, but waitlist is open]_ this Friday (Aug. 21st) at 5pm - _[EDIT: fully booked, but waitlist is open]_ this Saturday (Aug. 22nd) at 1pm - **this Sunday (Aug. 23rd) at 10am** If we have at least 3 players, the game will take place. The games will be “plug & play” style, meaning you can show up with zero knowledge or prep, and you’ll get to choose a character right there. They’ll be short one-shot adventures: 3ish hours, possibly 4 if we count in breaks & chatter before/after the game. I’m planning to use the starter adventure/setting of _Heroes of the Borderlands_. Let me know if you’re interested in joining, or want to hear about other upcoming games! ![IMG_20260715_194424325_HDR](https://www.rpgvienna.com/uploads/default/original/2X/a/a6cd38e1636ac4f3e4018866ff385f074386a66b.jpeg) ---

Hello Hannah! A friend and I would be interested in joining on Friday or Sunday. However, both of us have never played but are eager to learn. Please let me know if there are enough players for the game to take place 🙂 ---

Amazing! The session I have planned will be perfect for absolute beginners, so that’s no problem! For Sunday, do you have a preferred start time (10am or 1pm), or would either time work the same for you two? Thanks! 🫶 ---

No problem! Totally understandable. Yes, Friday still works. 🙂 Shall I put you both down for the 5pm Friday game? (And I’ll send you more details tomorrow once we’re all confirmed) ---

Hey Hannah, I am new to Vienna so wouldnt mind trying out a game or too with some other like minded people 🙂 I am experianced with 5e (been playing approx 5 years weekly online with friends) but always happy for any sort of game. I could play Friday or Saturday, Friday would suit better but I am flexible. All the best, Stuart ---

Hey Stuart! Would love for your to join us – and welcome to Vienna! 🙂 Friday is looking a little full at this point (it seems to be the most popular time by far, which I didn’t expect necessarily!), so if you’re at all able to make the session on Saturday at 13:00, that would be amazing!! Otherwise I can put you on the waitlist for Friday’s game, since there’s always a chance someone needs to cancel last-minute etc. Let me know either way and I’ll add you to the list. 🙂 ---

Perfect, sounds great! I’ve added you to the Saturday session and on the waitlist of the Friday session. I’ll send more info about the game etc either later today or tomorrow. (And of course I’ll let you know if someone drops from Friday’s sesh) Thanks, looking forward to it! ---

Hey Hannah! I would be interested in joining with +1 on Sunday. I have some experience playing various systems and have also DMed before, the other person would be completely new. Let me know if you still have spots! ---

Hello Hannah, I know I’m a bit late but if there is still space on either saturday or sunday I would love to join you. I have tried dm’ing for a while and really want to try out having my own player character for a change. ---

Good morning — sorry to hear that! But of course it happens, and I appreciate you letting me know!! I’ll host more free sessions next week and in mid-late September, so you two are always welcome to join in the future. 🙂 I hope your +1 can get plenty of rest and feels better soon!
