Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
In this Dungeons & Dragons game, the game is run by the teacher or Game Master (GM) who guides the story, while the learners are players controlling characters they've designed themselves.  Players will roleplay, work their way through puzzles, problem solve, and use critical thinking skills while being immersed in the world.  The teacher (GM/gamemaster) will describe the world and make the players feel like they are truly living in the world, assisted with maps, music, and visuals on Roll20, a virtual D&D tabletop. This campaign is directed toward more experienced and advanced players who have at least basic grasp of rules.

Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia.  Curse of Strahd is a level 1-14 campaign for Dungeons and Dragons, based in the realm of Ravenloft.  A mysterious vampire leader, Count Strahd, must be stopped from wrecking havoc on the village of Barovia.

This gothic horror adventure is also full of homebrew side quests and missions, so this version of Curse of Strahd will be unlike any other

This is a long-term campaign, the adventures each week will be student-driven and led.  I will have a brief guideline of what I want the players to accomplish each week but learners will ultimately be leading most of the narrative.  With that being said, you can jump into the story at anytime.  Learners do not need to attend the previous week in order to join the story, as characters may come and go throughout the large universe that is being created by the players. If you need to take a break, we will ensure that your character leaves the party and will be able to come back via the storyline anytime you are ready.  I foresee this campaign lasting more than 6 months.  

MONDAY: LEVEL 6, PARTY FULL

First 5 minutes: chat and intros, wait for late arrivals 
Roleplay the adventure for around 40 minutes 
5 minute break for snacks, stretching, and bathroom
Finish the Roleplaying session 40 minutes 

During this class, learners may use their own characters or use pre-generated character statistics for and they may mold their history and personality from there. Please message me for pre-generated characters that I can send to you if your learner does not already have a character and does not want to make their own.  I will assist all learners in preparing the correct level character upon joining a section. 

Learners will be expected to follow basic player etiquette and we will review at the start of each class.  Such as taking turns, not talking over one another, and listening closely.  All learners will be expected to roleplay their characters in class, speaking as their character in dialogue and describing what they want their character to do.  Costumes are not required but completely welcomed.  

YOU WILL NEED A STABLE INTERNET CONNECTION AND AN ACTUAL COMPUTER OR LAPTOP TO PLAY USING ROLL20.  Please ensure that your wifi connection is strong enough to join both Zoom and Roll20 before accessing the game. 
(You MUST have a computer or laptop to play!  This is not compatible with iphone, tablet, or safari browser.)

Learning Goals

Students will work together in cooperative puzzles and adventures to improve their story-telling, character building, social and critical thinking skills.  During dice rolls, we will also be using very basic addition and subtraction.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Please be aware: table-top RPGs are full of surprises and improvisation. They may be rated PG due to fantasy violence, magic, scary themes. I will be keeping the game as family friendly as possible but there will be fantastic battles and possible character injuries. This campaign is directed toward more experienced and advanced players who have at least basic grasp of rules. If your learner needs help creating a character, I will be directing them to D&D Beyond, which is a free and safe resource for D&D players. You will need to assist your learner in creating a D&D Beyond free account to create the character. I have a PDF that is accessible after enrollment for your learner to reference. In order to play the game, we will be using Roll20 virtual table top. It is a free and safe website popular for D&D. You will need to assist your learner in setting this account up as well. I will add them to the game before our session. It will be an external link we will use each class session so players may interact with the pieces on their own. (You MUST have a computer or laptop to play! This is not compatible with iphone, tablet, or safari browser.) Neither DND Beyond or Roll20 use gamer tags so you will not need to worry about sharing that information. YOU WILL NEED A STABLE INTERNET CONNECTION AND AN ACTUAL COMPUTER OR LAPTOP TO PLAY USING ROLL20. Please ensure that your wifi connection is strong enough to join both Zoom and Roll20 before accessing the game.
