And we are back with day four of this month long event.

Today I answer the big question on everyone’s mind who is taking part in this, “Where would you host a first game?”

When I ran my first D&D game as a DM, which also happened to be a taster game also, we played in the foyer of The Luxe cinema. A very public location.

Now if I was to repeat the event I’d use our current hosts for Fenland Gamer sessions Wisbech St Mary Sports and Community Centre.

As the photo above shows there is plenty of space to have a couple of tables out.

There is a bar so refreshments can be purchased at a discounted price (compared to a pub or other establishment). We can even purchase food now. Well technically we could before but it was just a couple of rolls as your only choice. And we weren’t guaranteed those being available either.

We can be as private or public as desired. I know the D&D group prefer sitting in a different part of the bar which is more open to the public.

Sometimes that choice is out of our hands because of bookings.

However for a first game I’d try and make sure we had a bit more privacy. Just so that new players felt more at ease and less self conscious.

Where would you hold a first session?
