Frequently Asked Questions

Who are the Dungeon Masters?

The majority of our Dungeon masters are university and college students and part of the local community. They run each D&D groups and develop the story adventure that the participants are characters in. We carefully select all DMs and require a recent Vulnerable Sector and Police Check. At Goblets & Goblins we have the highest standards for DMs and each is tested by our own experts to ensure they not only know the game well, but that they also are skilled at working with kids.
Who is eligible to attend?

DnD Club is a positive and inclusive environment for children aged 10-13 for tweens and 14-17 for teens. For further questions on accommodations please email us at info@dndclub.ca
My child is on the autism spectrum. Is there funding available for your programming?

Goblets & Goblins Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Clubs are eligible for SSAH (Special Services at Home) funding because they provide a structured, interactive environment where children with autism can develop critical social and team-building skills, while also providing respite for parents or primary caregivers. The SSAH program, administered by the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services, offers funding for services that enhance a child's development and social inclusion. Goblets & Goblins meets these criteria by facilitating role-playing activities in D&D, a game that encourages communication, collaboration, and problem-solving. These activities support children on the autism spectrum in learning how to engage with peers, understand social cues, and work as part of a team—all essential for their social development. Parents can request detailed receipts to submit for expense reimbursement.
My child is a picky eater and often doesn't like provided dinners. Are there other options? (Newmarket Specific)

Yes, there are a variety of options to chose from. Please also let us know of any allergies or dietary restrictions. Within reason we can sometimes accommodate these restrictions. (Provided meals currently only available at our Newmarket location)
What is the staff to club member ratio?

There is 1 staff per a maximum of 6 kids ratio to ensure a dedicated and personal experience.
I have a sibling who is outside the age range, but wants to be with their brother/sister, what options do I have?

We frequently are asked about a younger sibling who has a shared love of D&D and wants to join their older sibling in the club. Provided they are 9 and capable of handling themselves, we are often able to accommodate these requests.
