Dungeons & Dragons
Expression of Interest for 2022

AV's Dungeons & Dragons program was one of our most popular programs in 2021, and it is continuing in 2022!

About Dungeons & Dragons at AV

Our Dungeon Masters are already planning exciting campaigns for returning and new players, and they're looking forward to having you to join them on more adventures with your teammates, while also making friends, exploring your creativity, connecting with others in our community, and having fun!

Our Term 1 2022 groups are now open for registration: to register for those, please go to our Events Page and find the group and time that suits you best.

Who can participate in AV's Dungeons & Dragons program?

• Players aged 10 and older
• Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced players
• Current AV members

It's free to add your name to this Expression of Interest form, and you don't need to be a member for this.

However, the program itself is a member benefit and is only open to AV members, so you will need to be a member to register for the program itself.
You can find out more about becoming an AV member or you can join as an AV member today to access our members-only programs and so much more! 

Do I need to add my name to the Expression of Interest if I've played D&D at AV in the past?

If you've already been a part of AV's D&D program, all you need to do is to make sure that you have ticked Dungeons & Dragons as an area of interest in your AV member profile. You can find instructions on how to do this in your most recent D&D email. If you need help with this, please email Jenni: admin@aspergersvic.org.au 

When will the details of the 2022 programs be announced, and how much will it cost?
The D&D program dates align with the school terms. The groups usually start in the second week of the school term and finish in the second last week of the school term. The details of each program are announced approximately one month before the first session. Please keep checking the AV website and social media for updates.

The Term 1 2022 D&D groups are now open for registration via our Events Page.

The cost varies from one term to the next as the school terms vary in length.  

What happens next?

By adding your name to the Expression of Interest, you are signing up to receive updates as soon as the 2022 programs are open for registration.  

When we have the program details finalised for each term, we will email everyone who has added their name to this Expression of Interest, as well as everyone who has ticked "Dungeons & Dragons" as an area of interest in their AV profile.

As the D&D groups are restricted to six players, we recommend signing up as soon as you see that registrations are open. All of our groups for the Term 4 D&D program sold out, so please get in early to make sure you don't miss out.

Who can I contact if I have other questions?

We've noticed that many of the questions we receive about our Dungeons & Dragons program are similar, so we have put together an AV D&D FAQ document to help our players and families to find answers quickly.

If you have read our FAQ document and still have questions about AV, about the event, or if you need assistance with registration, please contact Jenni
