Everything parents ask before signing their kid up. If you don’t find it here, the intro call is where the rest gets answered.
Luck of the Roll is an online D&D campaign service for kids and teens ages 10–17, run by Theo — a 15-year-old Dungeon Master. Theo runs original 12-week homebrew campaigns in small groups of up to 5 players. Sessions happen weekly on Zoom. Every session is recorded. Parents can observe live at any time.
Theo started playing D&D at 10 and ran his first homebrew campaign at 12. He builds original worlds from scratch — maps, lore, story arcs — and runs campaigns that treat players as capable of handling real story complexity. He’s 15, he’s been doing this for years, and he’s genuinely good at it. More about Theo →
Luck of the Roll runs two separate tiers: Young Adventurers for ages 10–13, and Teen Guild for ages 13–17. Kids are never mixed across age groups. Content is calibrated separately for each tier — PG for Young Adventurers, PG-13 for Teen Guild.
No experience required. Theo introduces rules as they become relevant in the story — not as a lecture, not as a tutorial. Your kid will be playing naturally within the first session without feeling like they’re sitting through a class.
Classes teach D&D as a skill. Theo runs campaigns as an experience. There’s no curriculum, no structured learning objectives. There’s a world, a story, five players, and stakes that build week over week. Players learn the rules because they need them — not because they’re being taught them.
Players and Theo join a Zoom call at a scheduled time each week. Theo runs the story, describes the world, and plays all the NPCs. Players make decisions, roll dice (physical or digital), and the story unfolds together. Every session runs the same day and time each week so scheduling is predictable.
All sessions run on Zoom — a platform most families already have and trust. No new software to learn. Players click a link and they’re in. Chat is disabled inside sessions. Parent observer links are sent with every invite.
They get the recording to catch up and rejoin the following week. Campaigns are designed so no single session leaves a player permanently lost. Theo writes with the understanding that real life happens.
No. Cohorts start together and stay together for all 12 sessions. This keeps the story tight and the group dynamic strong. Join the waitlist and we’ll confirm your kid’s spot in the next cohort.
Maximum 5 players per cohort. This is a hard cap — not a guideline. Groups stay small so every character gets meaningful screen time and Theo can actually run the table well.
The campaign reaches its conclusion. Players can sign up for the next cohort (continuing as the same character in a sequel arc, or starting fresh), try the other tier, or come back next season. There’s no auto-renewal, no pressure, and no commitment beyond the current cohort.
Every session is recorded and available to parents within 24 hours. Parents can join as silent observers at any time via a separate link. Players have no way to contact each other outside of sessions. There is no Discord, no group chat, no private messaging. Full safety details →
No. There is no mechanism for players to contact each other outside of sessions. No Discord server. No group chat. No messaging. Players don’t get each other’s names, contact details, or social media. The only interaction is during the session itself, on Zoom, with Theo present.
No. All communication about scheduling, recaps, and logistics goes through parents only. Theo does not contact players directly outside of sessions.
Young Adventurers is rated PG — age-appropriate adventure, no graphic content. Teen Guild is rated PG-13 — more complex storytelling and themes, handled thoughtfully. No graphic violence, no adult content, no sexual content in either tier. See full content breakdown →
Young Adventurers: $360 per 12-week cohort ($30/session). Teen Guild: $396 per 12-week cohort ($33/session). Payment is made upfront when you join a cohort. No hidden fees. No per-session charges. No subscription. Full pricing details →
After the intro call — not before. You join the waitlist for free, we schedule a call to confirm everything, and payment is collected when your cohort spot is confirmed. You never pay for something you haven’t agreed to.
Yes. Joining the waitlist costs nothing. It tells us you’re interested and gets you in line for the next available cohort. We’ll reach out to schedule your intro call. No payment until your spot is confirmed.
We’ll share refund policy details on your intro call before any payment is made. If something unexpected happens, reach out to Theo’s mom directly — we handle things case by case, not by a rigid policy.
