Dungeons & Dragons
Forge your hero. Shape the world. Roll for what happens next.
We're building a custom gaming setup where every player has their own mini screen at their seat, and what they do on it plays out on the big screen the whole table is watching.
Whether you're a first-time adventurer or a seasoned dice goblin, it's a space to build characters, explore new worlds, solve problems together and connect with others through a shared adventure.
You bring the imagination. We'll take care of the magic.
One rate
Everything included: the table, your 3D-printed mini, the painting station and a trained facilitator running the game.
NDIS or self-funded, the rate is the same.
The experience
Everything below is part of the session.
No upgrades, no tiers, no add-ons you have to weigh up. Every player gets the full setup.
A mini screen at every seat
Each player gets their own screen, and what happens on it feeds the big screen the whole table is watching. Line of sight, positioning and combat become something you can see rather than something you have to picture.
A 3D-printed hero mini
Every player gets their own character printed. It's the piece you place on the table each session, and it's yours to keep.
HeroForge character modelling
Build your hero visually before you commit: face, armour, weapon, pose. You see the character take shape, then it comes back as a physical mini.
Painting station
Brushes, paints, stands and magnifiers, set up and ready. Paint your mini between scenes or make a whole session of it. No experience needed.
Some of our players are helping build it
The mini screen setup is being built in-house, and participants who are interested are working on it with us: the hardware, the software and how it should feel to play on.
It's the same idea as the rest of High Voltage: the thing they already care about becomes a real project with a real outcome. In this case, the table they'll be sitting at.
Participant work
Characters that don't stay on the page.
A character starts as a few decisions on a sheet. For a lot of our participants it does not stop there - it gets drawn, modelled, printed, painted, and occasionally ends up standing on a desk or walking around inside a game.
Drawn, then printed
A character designed digitally, then produced as a physical figure and painted by hand.
Built, then playable
Another character built in a miniature editor, then imported into a game engine as something you can actually control.
Drawn by hand
Campaign art made between sessions - characters, monsters and the places they turn up in.
Painted at the table
Miniature painting runs alongside the campaigns. It is slow, fiddly, and one of the most reliably absorbing things we do.
A session in progress. Two sets of hands, a lot of paint pots.
Attend your way
In person, or from home on a tougher day.
Every group runs as a hybrid table. Players can come in and sit at the table, or join the same session from home, and they can switch week to week without asking permission or explaining themselves.
This matters more than it sounds. A hard week no longer means dropping out. The seat is still there, the party is still mid-story, and coming back doesn't require starting over or catching up.
Come in and sit at the table
The full setup: your own screen at your seat, your mini in your hand, the group around you and the painting station open.
Join the same session from home
Same group, same campaign, same facilitator. No separate online program and no second-tier version of the game.
Change your mind on the day
Getting out the door isn't always possible. Switching to remote is a normal option, not a failure or a missed session.
For families with a young person who has disengaged from most things, this is often the part that makes saying yes possible. Attendance stops being all-or-nothing, so one bad week doesn't end the whole thing.
Weekly sessions
Find the table that fits.
Every group is capped at four players, so nobody gets lost at the table and the facilitator can stay across what each person needs. Groups are split by age so the tone of the table matches the players at it.
Friday
6:00–9:00pm
Saturday
10:00am–1:00pm
Sunday
1:00–4:00pm
Campaigns run with the school terms
A campaign runs for one 10-week term, opening with Session 0 and finishing before the school holidays. That gives every group a clear beginning, middle and end, and a natural break before the next story starts.
Dates follow the Queensland state school calendar. Other states sit within a week or two of these, so interstate players joining from home can still run with a Brisbane group.
None of these times work? Tell us anyway.
We open new groups when enough players want a time that works for them. Leave a name and age and we'll add you to the waitlist. Once there's a group's worth of people for a slot, we'll run it.
New players
Beginners are absolutely welcome.
Many first-timers worry about:
- What if I don't know the rules?
- What if I slow the group down?
- What if I don't know how to roleplay?
- What if I've never painted a mini before?
"Through our guided adventures, we turn real life challenges into low pressure quests, letting players grow new mindsets and develop their personal skills through their characters."
You're in good hands.
To support new players we make sure everything is explained step-by-step, and the facilitator tailors the session as you go so you never miss out.
No gatekeeping. No pressure. Just pure fun.
1:1 sessions
You can start one-on-one instead.
Joining a group isn't the only way in. Some players want to understand the game properly before there's anyone else at the table, so we run 1:1 sessions with a mentor to get there at their own pace.
And it works in the other direction too. For mentees who want to run the game themselves one day, we help them build their own campaigns and learn what the role of DM actually involves.
Learn the game first, join a table when you're ready
- Work out how the game actually works, without an audience
- Build a character from scratch with someone walking you through it
- Get familiar with dice, rolls and what your character can do
- Practise a scene or two so the first group session isn't the first time
- Move into a group when it feels right, or keep going 1:1 if that suits better
Build your own campaign and try being the DM
- Understand what the role of DM involves and what the job really is
- Design your own world, its people and what's at stake in it
- Write encounters and work out how to keep a group moving
- Learn to improvise when players do something you didn't plan for
- Run it with support from a facilitator who has done it many times
1:1 sessions are priced differently. Get in touch and we'll confirm the rate.
Session 0
Every term starts before the adventure does.
Our 10-week terms always begin with a dedicated session, Session 0, designed to help participants settle in comfortably before the campaign begins. It helps everyone feel safe, understand the session flow so things stay predictable, and build confidence with our new party members.
We also co-design parts of the game world together and do a first draft of our heroes for the term. Everything from the style of the setting to the kinds of creatures, cultures and themes can be customised, so every participant feels heard, respected, and excited about the world they're stepping into.
Orientation & setup
- Explore the physical space and get comfortable with the environment
- Meet the facilitator and the group in a low-pressure setting
- Learn how sessions run, including breaks, sensory supports and expectations
- Facilitators pre-plan around each participant's goals, preferences and access needs, so sessions support both group and individual skill development
Building the adventure
- Design aspects of the world we want to be immersed in, taking input from everyone in the group
- Create each person's hero with guided step-by-step support
- Model our characters in HeroForge for visual feedback, then they are 3D printed ready for Session 1
- Play through the first scene of our adventure
- Learn D&D-style turn-taking, teamwork and collaborative problem-solving
- Get familiar with the dice, materials and core D&D concepts
If there's time, we may begin the opening scene of the first adventure as a low-pressure test run to make sure everyone feels happy and ready.
Who runs the table
More than just DMs.
Our facilitators are support work professionals with significant experience, most with lived experience of neurodiversity. All undergo regular training to ensure we foster and support the growth of life skills in every participant.
Trained facilitators
Neuro-affirming group facilitation, plus creative and technical skill-building.
Lived experience
Most of our facilitators are neurodivergent themselves, so they get it without needing it explained.
Skills through play
Turn-taking, negotiation, planning and co-regulation, practised inside a story rather than taught at a whiteboard.
Your hero is one conversation away.
Tell us a bit about the player and we'll find them a seat at the right table.
