As a Player Guest, you may at any time reserve seats in the Campaign of your choice, subject to space. If you do not reserve a seat, we will assign you to a Campaign 2 months before the event. Seat Reservations are per person. If you have multiple registrations and only one reservation is made, the remaining guests will remain as unspecified and be assigned to a Campaign 2 months before the event.
Note: Hardcore Mode and Youth Mode is selected by Registration. If you have registered for Hardcore Mode or Youth Mode, do NOT select a seat reservation here.

Mark Meer - Agents of the Kargat
Starting Level 4
You and your colleagues are agents of The Kargat, the infamous police force of the Lich-King Azalin Rex, Lord of the Dread Domain of Darkon. Azalin has long chafed under the yoke of the Dark Powers and the chains that bind him, and has launched many bids to win his freedom over the long centuries. With the coming of a multiversal convergence, the undead ruler finally sees a chance to escape his prison. Will you help him seize it, and possibly alter the nature of the Domains of Dread forever more?Thor Knai - Draugir
Starting Level 3
As children, the small fishing village of Leirvik was your home. After it was destroyed by a plague in the form of hideous, black-boiled ""Draugir"" you lost everything and fled north. A decade later, your refuge, the town of Bjorgvin, is one of very few in the region that has withstood the onslaught of the Draugir, in no small part thanks to you. But you cannot hold out for much longer. It is time to solve the mystery of the plague, discover its origins, defend what you love, and strike at the heart of the evil behind it all.Beth the Bard - Lament of the Gods
Starting Level 0 (levels up quickly)
The party members have all recently died under tragic or mysterious circumstances, awakening in the afterlife—a dark, purgatory-like realm ruled by the forgotten gods. They learn that they are not truly dead yet, but are trapped in a limbo between life and death. Their mission is to navigate the twisted afterlife, face terrifying guardians of the dead, and reclaim their right to return to the world of the living to complete unfinished business or protect loved ones still in the mortal realm.B. Dave Walters - Titans of Doom
Starting Level: 20
Asmodeus, Tiamat, and Vecna have formed a terrifying alliance, pooling their might to imprison Bahamut, Mystra, and the Raven Queen, thereby eliminating some of the greatest forces of balance in the multiverse. The Triumvirate seeks to divide reality amongst themselves: Asmodeus taking control of Hell and all mortal souls, Tiamat expanding her dominion over the Material Plane with a dragon empire, and Vecna turning the Shadowfell and all of undeath into an infinite army under his command. The heroes, now among the few with the power to oppose these titans of evil, must uncover the means to rescue the imprisoned deities and restore order to reality before the universe is consumed by infernal tyranny, draconic wrath, and eternal death.Ed Spence - Bloodlines & Bloodlust
Starting Level: 5
Welcome to Cittàvita. Fireworks fill the night sky. Gondolas trace their elegant paths through the waterways, while masked individuals walk the cramped and cobbled streets on either side. And when the sun sets, vampires stalk the city…
In this wholly original D&D setting - and with access to brand new subclasses such as the Rogues of La Commedia Della Morte and Warlocks of the feline trickster demon Il Gatto Mammone - you and your party will take to the streets of Cittàvita to save its very soul from those that would devour it from within.Hannah Harper - To Heaven & Back Again
Starting Level: 7
In the Final Level of Celestia, there is said to be a threshold that cleanses whoever crosses it - changing their alignment to 'Lawful Good'. A curmudgeon of a tycoon fears the devil that waits for him in the 9 hells. He recruits a band of renegades to take him across the finish line and secure his place in celestia.
Perhaps you are just in it for the gold you'll inherit, perhaps you yourself wish to be cleansed in the hope of escaping a similar fate, or perhaps simply the opportunity to go to Celestia look it in the eyes and know you're meant for it is intriguing enough.
But the road will not be easy....Those not meant to walk the fields of heaven will stick out like a sore thumb in paradise; gods, angels, and more will not take lightly to intruders.
Get to Explore the Plane of Celestia, and all of its oddities, climb the ladder to heaven and live to tell the tale!Youth Table
Experience D&D in a Castle with the young person in your life, for an unparalleled bonding adventure. Players under 18 must be accompanied by a chaperone and must register as "Youth Mode" guests, along with their adult companion. This ensures that both youth and chaperone are assigned to the same Campaign, with a Dungeon Master and fellow players who are prepared to have younger players at their table. Youth are treated like adult playing guests, and D&D in a Castle expects that they are prepared to participate as such. Please email us if you have any questions at all about this gaming option contact@dndinacastle.com.
