Dungeons & Dragons is heading to one of London's biggest venues this summer. The O2 Arena will host the first D&D Fan Expo on 21-22 August, with a live actual play headlined by the cast of Baldur's Gate 3.
Run game nights? Backseat Gamer handles RSVPs, waitlists, date polling, and game voting so you can focus on playing.
Start organising for freeThe Saturday show features Neil Newbon (Astarion), Devora Wilde (Lae'zel), Samantha Béart (Karlach), and Theo Solomon (Wyll) rolling dice on stage alongside Anjali Bhimani and Jasper Cartwright. Jasmine Bhullar runs the game as Dungeon Master. Newbon and Wilde also star in Dungeon Masters, Wizards of the Coast's first official actual play show launching on 22 April, so the BG3-to-live-D&D pipeline is in full swing.
Opening night on Friday 21 August belongs to the UK's own High Rollers, performing a live one-shot at Indigo at The O2 as part of their 10th anniversary. Mark Hulmes and the crew have been playing D&D live since 2016 and built one of the UK's largest tabletop streaming communities along the way.
Stop juggling Meetup, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. One platform for your gaming group's events, RSVPs, and member management.

If you are heading to the show with friends, organise a group meetup so you can actually find each other in a 20,000-capacity arena.
