Class Experience

In this class students will learn how to plan an adventure in Dungeons & Dragons.  Each week we will talk about different ways to run a successful Dungeons & Dragons adventure.  We go over how to plan an adventure. We'll talk about the different types of adventures. Students can share adventures they have played. 

I can also schedule a in person version of this class if you have 2 or more students interested in taking the class together.

 Students will learn how to choose treasures for the players to win. We will also learn how to pick out monsters that are the right level.  We will learn how to create our own stories for the players to follow.  Students will be able to discuss ideas for future adventures with the teacher trough messages in the classroom.  Students will also be able to share adventures that they have created with the teacher. 


Why a self paced class? 
* Flexible schedule classes are wonderful for families who have busy schedules or are sometimes unable to commit to a certain day or time. 
* Learners from all time zones may participate 
* Videos may be paused or re-watched at any time. 
* If any questions arise, the instructor is just an email away.

The class offers a series of pre recorded videos that you will have access to, as well as individualized assessments of your work. Students will be given an assignment every week.  

Each week the students will receive a video and assignment.  

Each Monday I will post a video with the assignment  of the week. Students who would like feedback should have their projects submitted by Friday Night. Teacher will give feedback on Saturday or Sunday.
