*This campaign deals with devils, demons, hell, and all sorts of terrible monsters. While our DMs always target age appropriate descriptions, parental discretion advised with the subject matter. Similar to Baldur's Gate 3. * PREREQUISITES: We strongly recommend completing one of our 103-105 courses before joining our ongoing campaigns. This ensures your child is familiar with our focus on fairness, teamwork, and cooperative learning. Adventure Overview Welcome to Baldur’s Gate! 🌟 A city of ambition and corruption, your young adventurer will start their journey here, entangled in a plot stretching from the shadows of Baldur’s Gate to the epic Blood War! Can they outwit the archdevil Zariel and navigate the treacherous Nine Hells? 🔥😈 Our subscription-based courses welcome students whenever space is available and prerequisites are met. Campaigns start at level one but will present challenges of various levels. The instructor will guide students on character requirements. Student Expectations Students must embrace our philosophy: RPGs are team-based, inclusive, and supportive. Helping each other in and out of the game is crucial. Any negative behavior could result in removal without refund, at the discretion of the DM and head teacher, Adam Scott. New to RPGs? Role-playing games put your child in the heart of the story! Their choices shape the plot, developing problem-solving, team-building, and social skills— all while having a blast! 🎉🗡️ Who Will Love This Class? 1) Kids who know the basics of D&D and can create or choose a character. 2) Those eager to explore worlds, discover new places, and make tough decisions. 3) Budding storytellers who enjoy interacting with unique characters. 4) Team players ready to solve problems and have fun together. Our adventures unfold in an ongoing world, with weekly updates from the DM. Note on Late Arrivals: Late arrivals may disrupt the session.

Please inform us of any scheduling or tech issues in advance. Ready for the adventure? Let’s roll! 🏰🎲 Note to parents/students: Some students may wish to use D&D Beyond for their character sheet. Account set up needs to happen before the session begins. The age recommendation for DNDBeyond.com is 13 years old and parents may use their email account to sign up their student for this account at their discretion. Families who do not wish to use DNDBeyond.com will be provided a selection of pregenerated characters from which to choose upon sign up and are still more than welcome to sign up for the course!
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
This adventure deals directly with the players descending into the first layer of Hell. They will fight, negotiate, and interact regularly with evil and immoral creatures. While descriptions and subject matter are age appropriate, these themes require a more mature learner.
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 the D&D 5e Players Handbook and a D&D Beyond account.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
