In this class, LGBTQ+ Dungeons and Dragons players will play the game over live video chat.

The instructor is assisted by a teen from our DQD Teen Edition, who will serve as Dungeon Master (providing the backstory, props, and "hosting" the game play) and the instructor will assist with game flow and interpersonal interactions. Stories will at times be specifically LGBTQ-focused and at all times game play and interaction will be very much centered on affirming LGBTQ youth.

Themes may include violence, romance, grief, loss, criminal activity, and so forth. This is the tween edition, so these topics will not be graphic and will be kept basically G-rated. The instructor does intend to keep the space a safe space for all marginalized individuals and will ensure that oppression is not glorified. Players who find game interactions upsetting will be given space to discuss this. 

Players are welcome to bring characters they have created, or not. Every new campaign will have space for creating characters if players do not have a character ready to go (players do need to be basically familiar with the game and able to create a character in 10-15 minutes with guidance). We will post in the classroom ahead of time what the parameters are for characters so players can create or modify a character ahead of time if they wish.
