Curse of Strahd
Campaign for Levels 1–10 · 18+
2 SEATS LEFT

Descend into Gothic Horror in Curse of Strahd

The mists arrive without warning. One moment you're somewhere familiar, and then you're standing on a road you don't recognise, in a valley sealed off from the world you knew. Curse of Strahd is D&D's most celebrated horror campaign — vampire lords, haunted villages, and generations of buried secrets, with no map telling you which way is safe. At the top of the valley, Castle Ravenloft waits, where the lord of this land has been watching your every move since you arrived.

Adventures in Calimshan
FULLY BOOKED
Levels 1–20 · 18+
🇬🇧 Mondays at 10am (UK time)

Calimshan is a land of hidden relics, rival genie factions, and dazzling cities unlike any other in Faerûn — Calimport's bazaars, mechanical wonders, and deserts that hide secrets no adventurer has touched. A sandbox campaign where your ambitions take centre stage: ally with genies, lead merchant dynasties, or carve your own path through the courts of Calimport.

Phandelver & Below: The Shattered Obelisk
FULLY BOOKED
Levels 1–12 · 18+
🇬🇧 Tuesdays at 10am (UK time)

What begins as a routine delivery to Phandalin spirals into a deepening mystery. Goblins strike the trade routes, townsfolk whisper of strange sightings, and the ground itself feels wrong. Beneath the town's legendary lost mine lies the Shattered Obelisk — an ancient relic tied to an unravelling of reality itself.

Learn how to play.

The Bardic Quest Adventurer's Guild is perfect for anyone who has been intrigued by Dungeons & Dragons (perhaps through Stranger Things or Critical Role) and doesn’t know where to start.

Your Dungeon Master will guide you through the rules as you engage with the story, gaining a taste of everything that D&D has to offer; from combat ⚔️ to exploration 🧭 and to interacting 💬 with the rich characters that fill the multiverse.

Online play.

Finding a group to play Dungeons & Dragons with can be a quest all by itself! Particularly if you live in a rural area or are not familiar with your local gaming stores.

Join us and a new group from wherever you are in our pay-to-play games. All you need is Discord installed on your computer, with a working mic and camera and you're good to go.

A schedule you can rely on.

We all know that scheduling issues have been the death knell of many Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. With a pay-to-play campaign such as those provided by Bardic Quest Adventurer's Guild, you can expect consistency of the schedule with regard to your games that is far higher than a casual game amongst friends.

And ultimately that means more fun, more often.

Added immersion.

With the Bardic Quest Adventurer's Guild we're bringing everything to the table that you'd expect to see in an episode of Bardic Quest all designed to further immerse you in the world of D&D (headphones recommended). Gaming sessions include:

  • Music
  • Ambient sound
  • Special audio effects
  • Animated virtual backgrounds

  • Pro story-telling.

    It's no secret that Dungeons & Dragons (a RPGs) include a lot of cross-over with acting and film-making. Purchasing a seat at the table of an Adventurer's Guild game means being DMed by a professional actor and professional producer of entertainment. There really isn't a more appropriate skill-set to whisk you off on a D&D adventure! Plus it also means fun NPCs and roleplaying scenes!

    Safe, creative space.

    Dungeons & Dragons functions as an escape for people and we know it is important that we are respectful of other’s boundaries, triggers and mental health in order to ensure that their escapism and fun is not spoiled. Our games will feature safety tools and artistic techniques to ensure maximum fun and expression of creativity.
