Learners taking the Mythic League Campaign class will learn advanced aspects and mechanics of Dungeons and Dragons, as well as getting experience in roleplaying with a group. Students will learn how to play D&D over an internet format (which opens a world of possibilities for playing RPGS from home) and how to operate in the role of Dungeon Master if they want to pursue running their own games!

D&D encourages critical thinking, problem solving, cooperation, improvisation, math skills, geography skills, science concepts, and social studies concepts. As a former teacher, I approach a game of D&D with all of these subjects in mind. 

In one of my recent Beginner Campaigns, my learners decided to act as negotiators for a conflict involving an intersection of global economy, colonization and prejudice. For context, the adventure hook was, quite simply: "You've been hired to clear a mine of monsters." Through their choices, the players evolved the story and decided how they wanted to approach the adventure. 

As a public school teacher, I ran an LGBTQ+ support club at my school. I want to use this space to note that this class is an inclusive class, and a safe space for students to express themselves. I am a proud LGBTQ+ ally, and I believe D&D to be a wonderful place to let young people learn to feel comfortable with themselves. 

Players will be encouraged to work on their characters out of class, in regards to levelling up and reviewing choices for their new abilities and character options. This is not required, and questions during the sessions are always welcome!

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
