Intermediate Level
*Saturday section: room for 1 more player. Level 9, our club is going into last third of the Saltmarsh D&D Campaign. *Other sections: fresh start at level one!

In this Dungeons & Dragons club/campaign, players will solve a number of problems in and around the Fishing Village of Saltmarsh, enjoying a wide-ranging experience that draws from nearly 50 years of Dungeons...
This class is taught in English.
Learners will learn the mechanics of Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition and experience the fifth edition adventures based in Saltmarsh. Dungeons and Dragons features lots of practice with arithmetic, tons of reading and imaginative play, making it a tremendous game for improving reading, writing, and 'rithmetic. We will also cover some ancillary topics like social skills and etiquette at the table, teamwork, and collaboration. The nature of D&D is a social game that forces players to work together in order to achieve their in-game goals. Ultimately, learners will gain enough familiarity and experience with the rules and gameplay of D&D to be able to participate elsewhere on Outschool, at school, at clubs, at the local gamestore, with friends, at conventions, or wherever they might find a game.
Homework Offered
Learners will need to work with the Dungeons and Dragons rules to update their character (level-up) between sessions. This can be done in 20-30 minutes and will happen intermittently throughout the campaign.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

As a neurodivergent person myself, I am inclusive when it comes to ADHD, ASD and other learning challenges. D&D provides an unparalleled learning environment that encourages reading, mathematics, and social interaction.
It is helpful to have played in a D&D campaign previously.
Copies of presentations, session summaries, etc. will be provided in order to answer questions or address issues. Useful but not required:
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Monsters and men working for evil exist as counterpoints to the heroes of the game. Violence is always an option in tabletop roleplaying games, but violence will not be graphically or disturbingly described. (E.g. 'your arrow strikes home' rather than some other more graphic description of carnage). Safety tools will be provided and used so that we avoid sensitive or upsetting topics for your learner.
All sources are helpful but none are required. * D&D Player's Handbook (5th edition) or D&D Basic Rules (free at dnd.wizards.com) provide the backbone to the game. * Ghosts of Saltmarsh is the primary source of the adventure. * D&D Adventure 'Ghosts of Saltmarsh' - curriculum source (hardback and roll20 conversion) * Music by BattleBards, Incompetech, Tabletop Audio and Lyre RPG music. I may refer to other books in the D&D line as well (e.g. Dungeon Master's Guide, Monster Manual, etc.)
