The Story
Deep in the woods, stories don’t stay still.
This year’s East retreat invites you into a quiet, lantern-lit corner of the world where knowledge is alive, history has a way of shifting, and not every truth wants to be found all at once. Something old has stirred—subtle at first, then unmistakable—and its influence is being felt across the forest paths, the tavern tables, and the tales people tell.
Over four immersive days, you’ll take on quests shaped by mystery, curiosity, and the strange tension between what’s written down and what’s remembered. You won’t be handed answers. You’ll uncover them—together—through exploration, clever choices, and the stories you help shape along the way.
Come ready to question what you know, trust your instincts, and follow the light… wherever it leads.

Meet the Team
Hilary
Quest Master
Every great tale needs a story weaver—and at Dungeons & Dames, that’s Hilary. As co-owner and Quest Master, she weaves the threads of lore, laughter, and legendary adventure into an immersive retreat unlike any other. From designing the storylines to shaping the magical details that make each moment unforgettable, she is the keeper of the world our adventurers step into.
But Hilary’s role goes beyond crafting quests—she’s also the heart of the retreat. Her vision, creativity, and passion bring together players, DMs, and dreamers to build a fellowship bound by story and sisterhood.
When the dice hit the table and the adventure begins, Hilary ensures every adventurer feels the call of destiny.
Julie
Ledger Maiden
Every great adventuring party needs someone who can balance the books and keep the treasure chest in order—and for Dungeons & Dames, that’s Julie. As co-owner and our official Ledger Maiden, she ensures the retreat runs smoothly behind the scenes so the magic can shine on the surface.
But that’s not all—Julie also brings healing hands to our adventurers as a massage therapist. Whether it’s soothing weary shoulders after a long one-shot or helping restore balance between mind and body, she brings comfort and care into the heart of our retreat.
We couldn’t imagine this journey without her steady wisdom, organizational mastery, and restorative touch.
