Welcome to Dawnstar Gaming CIC

We are a non-profit organisation that organises and runs Dungeons & Dragons and other gaming sessions for the benefit of the Halton community. Our gaming resource library provides books, dice and other gaming resources for the community to use.

Our Values

At Dawnstar Gaming, we believe in community spirit, creative expression, inclusivity, and shared learning. We strive to foster a welcoming environment where everyone feels encouraged to express themselves and explore their imaginations. We believe that everyone has something to contribute, and we work hard to provide opportunities for people to learn from one another and build lasting friendships.

Creative Expression

We value the idea that everyone has a unique perspective to offer, and that creativity and self-expression are important components of personal growth and development. Our roleplay sessions provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to explore their creative skills and abilities, while also engaging in collaborative storytelling with other players.

Community Spirit

This represents the sense of connectedness and collective responsibility that we hold for the local community. Our sessions are designed to create a space where individuals can come together, learn and connect with one another, and collaborate on a shared goal. This community spirit is fostered through regular events, meetups, and outreach programs that encourage engagement and participation.

Inclusivity

At its core, inclusivity means that everyone is welcome and valued, regardless of their background or identity. Dawnstar Gaming ensures inclusivity in all our sessions by considering accessibility, representation, and accommodations for various needs. This includes ensuring that sessions are wheelchair accessible, providing resources in multiple languages, and creating a safe space for players of all genders, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds.

Shared Learning

We focus on creating an environment of knowledge sharing and learning. Dungeon Masters are experienced and knowledgeable, and are committed to helping players learn and grow through gameplay. We also provide workshops and training sessions to help players build skills in game design, world-building, and storytelling.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to create meaningful and enjoyable opportunities for social interaction and personal growth through gaming. We believe that Dungeons & Dragons and similar roleplaying sessions can be an effective tool for achieving these goals. Our comprehensive gaming curriculum goes beyond merely teaching game mechanics and delves into the wide range of social skills and personal development that can be gained through character building and problem-solving strategies.

Our sessions are designed to enhance communication and collaboration skills, promote creativity and imagination, build self-confidence, and foster a sense of community amongst our players. Each session revolves around a compelling storyline that encourages players to think critically, make moral decisions, and develop empathy towards their fellow players.

We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where players of all ages, backgrounds, and skill levels can come together to engage in this enriching and rewarding experience. Join us in our quest to harness the power of gaming to help our community grow and flourish.
