DGB – Dragon’s Guild Bern
Heroic adventures, dangerous missions and mysterious happenings – something sorely lacking in our everyday lives … well, that is not the case at the Dragon’s Guild Bern – in short, the DGB!
Every second Friday (alternating with the games at the Zwergenschmiede) a colorful group of enthusiastic players meets up to play adventures in a magical world of monsters and heroes in the role-playing classic «Dungeons & Dragons». There’s barely any limits to your imagination!
Our group is composed of players of all levels of experience. Our engaging Dungeon Masters are happy to help you find your way into the game.
We meet at the Drachenäscht – a small but cozy game store in the arcades of the Bernese old town.
We’re looking forward to your patronage!

The Pathfinder Society is an official and worldwide played campaign of the second edition of “Pathfinder”. We play monthly on the second Wednesday in the walls of the Katakomben & Lindwürmer association. The adventures are suitable for newcomers as well as experienced roleplaying experts.
