In this ongoing Dungeons & Dragons class for ages 7 to 10 learners will create new, fledgling adventurers and guide them into becoming mighty heroes of the realm! Learners will be able to interact with others as their character as well as participate in some good, old fashioned dungeon crawling! This class will give learners of all experience levels the full D&D experience. Your hero will undertake perilous adventures and face horrible monsters. By overcoming these challenges, your character will gain in experience, skills, and renown! In game terms, we will create beginning heroes and play through several Dungeons & Dragons modules using a simplified version of the D&D 5e rules. Previous experience is NOT a requirement! We welcome all learners regardless of experience or skill level. Rules will be taught as needed. New learners are welcome as long as there is space available. To ensure a fun and collaborative experience for everyone, please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the following learner expectations: -Embrace the Heroic Journey: Our campaign focuses on the epic tales of heroes striving for greatness. As such, evil characters are not permitted. No Player versus Player Combat: In the spirit of camaraderie and teamwork, player versus player (PvP) combat is not allowed. Our goal is to work together to overcome challenges, not engage in conflict within the party. This includes no senseless violence against helpful or good NPCs. Honor System for Dice Rolls: We trust in the honor system for dice rolls. Please be honest and transparent about your rolls, ensuring a fair and enjoyable gaming experience for all. Remember, the unpredictability of the dice adds to the excitement of our shared adventure! By adhering to these expectations, we can create a welcoming and inclusive space where every learner can fully enjoy the magic of Dungeons & Dragons. Let's embark on this journey together and create unforgettable stories! Role playing games are excellent vehicles to work on academic skills like reading, math, and social studies. They are also outstanding ways to practice team work, leadership, negotiation, creative problem solving, and imagination! Our first class will consist of character creation. We will go beyond the numbers to create fully fleshed out personalities. These personal details will inform the learner's decisions about how their character will react in different scenarios. Adventure awaits...!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Ed!
I'm so happy to be teaching on Outschool!
I'm a professional puppeteer, a gamer, and a home school dad!
During my career as a puppeteer I've performed with the Muppets, the Jim Henson Company, and Sesame Street among others. I've been a puppeteer on feature films, tv shows, and videos throughout my 30+ year career. I have toured internationally with Walking with Dinosaurs-the Arena Spectacular for the past 11 years. Currently I own a company that tours throughout the Southeast.
As a home school dad I helped teach my son his entire school career.
I'm a huge fan of games, especially role-playing games! Playing a role playing game can improve skills like math, reading, comprehension, team work, and creative problem solving.
Students learn better when they are in an environment where they want to learn. Using puppetry and games, I've been able to educate students of all ages on a variety of topics. In fact, puppetry and games can be used to teach any subject under the sun!
