With the recent rise in interest in Tabletop Roleplaying Games, especially Dungeons & Dragons, grown-ups all over find themselves longing for the days when they could play round the clock for days, with no distractions, no demands, and no one called away mid-battle to go relieve the babysitter. Others are discovering this amazing game for the first time mid-adulting, and have never had that opportunity. Many players have only ever been able to play a weekly game for a couple of hours at a time, often missing someone from the table, a different person each week whose grown-up life has gotten in the way of their fun.
At D&D in a Castle, we create the unparalleled experience for our guests of non-stop play. You get to play D&D for three days straight without ever having to stop, the magic of gaming without interruptions or responsibilities. We’ve set things up so you play a three-day campaign with your table and DM (dungeon master) for eight hours each day, with other GMs (game masters) available around the clock for custom-made one-shot campaigns if you want to keep playing all night.
For those of you who dream of returning to those immersive gaming experiences of childhood, with no responsibilities attached, or those of you who long for the freedom of simply playing for three days and nights uninterrupted, the one-shot GMs provide that extra curated option which makes all our guests want to come back for more, GMs like Jason Carl, Bonnie Gordon, Jamison Stone and Elisa Teague among others.

Have you ever wished that NPCs (non-player characters in the world of the campaign, often played by the DM) were a bit more lifelike? We’ve arranged for world-class professional voice actors to play NPCs, floating between campaigns. This unique experience ensures high-calibre play at your table, as the NPCs bring to life dynamic interactions in-game.
In previous years we’ve had talent like Curtis Armstrong and Sam DeLeve join us at the Castle to play real-life NPCs, and for Spring 2022 we have Bonnie Gordon, Anthony Rapp and Kelen Coleman lined up to create a powerful, vibrant gaming experience for you.
And as always, your DMs for the custom-made three day campaigns are some of the best in the world, including well-known streamers, hosts or stars of D&D-related shows, industry experts and professional game designers. Satine Phoenix, Jason Carl, Mark Meer (the voice of Commander Shepard), Elisa Teague, Aabria Iyengar (recent host on Critical Roll) and many more incredible accomplished talent will create a memorable, transformative experience for you that you would be hard-pressed to recreate at home.
