NYCC adds beginner D&D sessions and a shared Waterdeep adventure

Hasbro’s October 7 programme details drop-in D&D demos, two-hour beginner sessions and a multi-table Waterdeep adventure, with charity incentives supporting The Trevor Project.

New York Comic Con’s Dungeons & Dragons programme offers short demos, beginner sessions and a larger shared adventure during the October 8–11 convention. Hasbro’s October 7 announcement places D&D activity at the back of Hall 1E at the Javits Center. The drop-in demos run for 20–30 minutes and require neither previous

experience nor advance signup. Two-hour Learn to Play sessions guide newcomers through characters, dice, combat and roleplaying; visitors sign up in person with the area’s Event HQ, with a waitlist available when a session fills. A separate four-hour Adventurers League Epic has multiple parties adventuring across

Waterdeep at the same time. Hasbro says individual tables’ decisions, discoveries and victories contribute to the room’s shared story, and invites interested cosplayers to ask Event HQ about participating as wandering characters. Charity incentives during the games support The Trevor Project. Attendees should consult

Event HQ for current session availability and the organiser’s programme for access requirements. Read the official source. Image: Wizards of the Coast / D&D Beyond — official How to Play blue-dragon promotional artwork; illustrative D&D art, not a NYCC event photograph.
