Learning Goals
Students will get to experience all that a roleplaying game has too offer: teamwork, problem solving, social interaction, and basic statistical calculations. Through the process of playing, their characters will develop and evolve, leading to discussions with the instructor and other players about applying skills in a game setting.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Role-playing games offer a creative "sandbox" in which participants can engage in imaginative problem solving. Fantasy violence will not be directly depicted, but the possibilities of this within the game will be discussed. Students may wish to explore ideas related to their characters that involve in-game "weapons" and "spells" for the use of "in-game" violence.
Supply List
Students will need to come to the first session with a level one character. This character can be pregenerated or custom created. To keep things manageable, students are asked to limit their characters to races and classes found in the Player Handbook + One other resource. A link to pregenerated characters is included for student reference.
