Event Details

Inspired by tabletop roleplaying games, and informed by First Nations lore and cultural ideology, this immersive, free adventure at the UTS Data Arena utilises 360 visuals and 3D sound to drop you right in the middle of the Game Master’s world.

Created by Wonnarua writer-directors and sisters, Maddison and George Coles, deep community consultation, and led by an all First Nations team, Dungeons & Damper: Inside the D20 places groups of 10 to face the power of a Creation Spirit.

With the impact of mining on Country and a lack of environmental care, the Spirits of Country have decided to teach a lesson. Showcasing the importance of traditional stories in the modern landscape, this journey recognises Indigenous culture as a continuous culture that weaves teachings through past, present, and future.

Unmissable for lovers of tabletop role-playing games and fantasy nerds alike, this one-weekend-only event runs in sessions, with bookings free but essential.
