Class experience
After a long and dangerous journey, three heroes stand at the edge of a mountain of fire. Their final task, to destroy a mysterious amulet with the power to summon the vengeful Dragon God Tiamat, is at last about to be accomplished! But suddenly, the mountain starts to rumble! From the lava below an enormous Fire Titan emerges and swings a molten arm at the adventurers! Will their quest end here? Or will our heroes triumph once more save the world for certain destruction!? Well that's for...
Learn the basics of how to be a Dungeon Master and run your own game of Dungeons and Dragons! Learn how to craft your own story, create interesting characters and NPCs, build your very own combat and skill encounters, and of course, make some awesome maps too!
I've been a Dungeon Master, formally, for the past five years and a player of D&D for much longer. In addition to that I've been running D&D session on Outschool from over a year and have 4 current groups playing! (ask me if you're interested in joining as a player!). I've designed hundreds of characters and NPCs, several dozen maps, and outlined multiyear campaigns for the games I've run.
Homework Offered
Nothing very formal here, but definitely encourage students to continue building their adventures between class sessions! They may not be able to finish everything during our in class time so I encourage them to finish of those weekly projects at least!0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

I demonstrate a few free online tools to help students learn: Hero Forge (heroforge.com) and Inkarnate (inkarnate.com), both of which you can make a free account with access to a wide variety of content and tools for free.
Journal, art book, notepad, paper, pencil, d20 dice, something to write or type with so they can plan their adventure!
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Dungeons and Dragons, by its nature, often involves battling, well Dragons! And other creatures that might be considered frightening or scary like trolls, wicked witches, and spiders! In my Outschool D&D sessions and demonstrations I seek to keep everything very PG ( think Brave, Raya and the Last Dragon, classic Star Wars, Harry Potter Books 1-3). That said there is fantasy violence and magic to some degree and some of the monsters can and should be fearsome. I try and guide learners towards the idea that fighting isn't always the solution, but it is a game about tactical combat as well.
I demonstrate a few free online tools to help students learn: Hero Forge (heroforge.com) and Inkarnate (inkarnate.com), both of which you can make a free account with access to a wide variety of content and tools for free. Neither of these is required! A learner may use a journal, map paper, art book, or some other digital tools that they prefer as well.
