So what is Dungeons and Dragons exactly? How do you get started and what do you need to play? Let's learn together as we discover why this is the most popular roleplaying game of all time! In this one time class, students will explore a streamlined Dungeons and Dragons experience. This unique session made just for Outschool learners is designed for students who want to see if D&D is something they might enjoy - before investing time and money into rulebooks and miniature figures. We will begin with a quick primer on how role playing games like D&D work. Then we will learn basic mechanics and rules as we encounter them in play. This energetic and action packed session will include plenty of opportunity for learners to utilize logic, creativity, and cooperation. We will end with a short question and answer period where we can build on what we learned together. I will provide students with helpful online resources and free reference materials to help them continue the fun.
Learning Goals
As this class is focused on ensuring that students experience what it's like to actually play Dungeons and Dragons, not every rule and mechanic will be discussed in depth. What students will walk away from this class with, however, is a clear understanding of what the game is about and whether or not it's a hobby that they'd like to spend more time with.
Other Details

Hello! I'm Joey and I'm excited to meet you. As a parent, I understand how vital early childhood education is. The fact that you are here, searching for the best instructor for your learners, means that you know how important it is too. I take this responsibility seriously, and work hard to provide individual attention and support to all of my students.
I've worked professionally as a software developer, as well as an adjunct college professor teaching introductory and advanced computer programming courses. My passions and class topics are wide ranging, from tabletop role-playing games to 3D modeling, astronomy, and art! To each of my classes I bring the same philosophy: that we truly grow when we connect what we learn to what is important to us. No matter if it's academic study or a social activity, I teach with the intention of inspiring students to make those connections and get excited about learning. I can't wait to see you in class!Reviews
