Dungeons and Dragons is a tabletop role-playing game, where you, together with friends, create characters to form a fantasy adventuring party. The Dungeon Master, who will narrate the setting and the situations, will help you and your friends be immersed into epic tales of courage, comradery, vulnerability and growth.
How do I make a character?
Making a D&D character can be daunting. The game has several layers of complexity, which might is seem hard to get into. There is a lot of helpful material online, however, which makes the process of learning easy and fun. Our DM’s and players are very willing to help out new players and guide them through their first D&D experience!
The Arcana Homebase always has template characters available on site for people who do not want to build their own custom character yet.
Players of The Arcana Homebase will get access to extra content (more classes and race/origins) through D&D Beyond, an online character building tool. Simply make an account with D&D Beyond, start making a character in the character creator and add your character to one of the Queer Arcana Homebase rooms through the links below. Then finish making your character through the builder.

Notes when making a character:
– In the first step, only toggle on: “Homebrew”, “Dice rolling”, “Feats”, “Multiclass requirements”, “Show level scaled spells” and “Ignore coin weight”. Toggle off all partnered content.
– Choose Manual rolled HP if you want to roll for HP when leveling up, choose fixed if you want to have a fixed increase of HP.
– In the step “Abilities”, use for the generation method “Standard Array” or “Point Buy”.
