1 live meeting
1 hrs 25 mins in-class hours per weekHomework
1 hour per week. Students will be expected to keep their own character sheets, know the rules as they pertain to their characters, and do all leveling up during out of class time.Class Experience
Students will learn teamwork, collaborative storytelling, improvisation and practice basic math and problem-solving skills through the lens of an exciting and engaging game of Dungeons and Dragons by taking on the roles of adventuring heroes in a homebrewed setting pitted against a proactive and cunning foe. Some basic knowledge of Dungeons and Dragons is helpful, but not required to participate in this class. Certain optional rules will be used during play and explained to the class as they occur. Homework will consist of work on character backgrounds, leveling up, and time thinking about in-game puzzles during off periods. Only the former two will be directly assigned, but doing the latter will leave more time for progressing the story of the game during class time. Evaluation, if requested, will be based on how well the students come together to face dynamic, unexpected, situations. Are they willing to make decisions for their characters? Do they know what their characters are capable of? Are they able to work with their fellow students to overcome obstacles? Are they willing to inhabit the roles of their characters and enjoy the fun of improvisation together?
Learning Goals
Students will do the following...
1. Create characters using an outside document as a guideline.
2. Learn the value of teamwork.
3. Direct their own actions with little prompting from the instructor.
4. Deal with the consequences, intended and otherwise, of their decisions.
5. Take increasing responsibility for the sandbox the game takes place in.
6. Confront a dynamic foe as dedicated to beating them as they are to beating him.
