Class Experience

Welcome to the Sword Coast! Each week, players will team up with their classmates to tackle challenges while telling an amazing story. Also, there's always room for new players to join the fun (space permitting). 🛡️

Our class is designed for both continuous enrollment and "drop-in" play, so it's super flexible. Throughout the adventure, characters will progress from levels 1-15. We even provide pre-made characters for those who need them!

What if your child has never played a roleplaying game like D&D before?

No worries! Role-playing games are all about putting your child and their character at the heart of the story. Their choices will shape the outcome—from heroic victories to thrilling challenges. These games are fantastic for building problem-solving, teamwork, and social skills. Plus, they're so much fun, your kids won't even realize they're learning until they're deep into their quest!

Note to Parents:

Some students may want to use D&D Beyond for their character sheets. Setting up an account needs to happen before the first session. The age recommendation for DNDBeyond.com is 13 years old, but parents can use their email to sign up for their kids at their discretion. For families who prefer not to use DNDBeyond.com, we provide a selection of pre-generated characters upon sign-up, so everyone can join the adventure!

Who will love this class?

1) Players who understand the basics of D&D and can create or select a character.

2) Players who have completed at least one introductory adventure—this is a great "second adventure."

3) Players eager to explore a world, discover exciting places, and make complex decisions.

4) Players who want to work with their teammates to fight powerful monsters 😊.

Our course meets once a week for 90 minutes and is subscription-based. If there's a seat available, we'd love to have your child join the fun!

Let's embark on this magical journey together! 🧙‍♂️🧚‍♀️🐉

Student Expectations 🌟
Hey there, parents! Here's what we expect from our young adventurers to keep the game fun and inclusive for everyone:

Core Values:

-Roleplaying games are all about teamwork, inclusivity, and support.

-Students should help each other both in and out of the game.

-Any negative behavior towards another player or exclusionary actions may lead to removal from the course without a refund. This is up to the DM and Adam Scott, the DnD Club head teacher.

Game Rules:

Integrity/Honesty: 🎲 Roll the dice honestly! If someone consistently declares impossible scores, the GM will roll for them publicly.

Heroic Expectations: 🦸‍♂️ Players are the "good guys"! They should protect innocents, support their teammates, and act honorably. No player-vs-player (PvP) allowed.

GM Authority: 🧙‍♂️ The GM has the final say on in-game details. While we encourage creativity, any ideas that disrupt the game balance or other players' enjoyment won't be allowed.

Late Arrivals: ⏰

Late arrivals can disrupt the session's flow. Students who are late will be admitted at a time that minimizes disruption, which may mean waiting until the next session.
Refunds for missed sessions are at the instructor's discretion. Please communicate any scheduling or tech challenges in advance.

Thanks for helping us make this adventure awesome for everyone! 🌟🧝‍♀️🗡️
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
Roleplaying 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 bring a character to each weeks session. The DM will communicate the current level so they know what to prepare and will provide support via classroom messaging. Those needing assistance in learning how to create characters from scratch are encouraged to take our D&D 102 character building workship. 

Pregenerated characters will be provided for those who wish to "sign up and play" the same day.
