In this ongoing Dungeons & Dragons class 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 until they are they most powerful adventurers in the land! In game terms, we will create beginning heroes and play through several classic Dungeons & Dragons modules using the D&D 5e rules. Learners will have the opportunity to advance their character to higher levels, making choices about their character's expertise along the way. This class will be for those who want to create a character with a rich backstory. Learners will have ample time to role-play their characters in social situations as well as in tactical combat. 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. 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. Please note: we will be using the Player's Handbook to create characters. The options presented there will be the ones available for player characters. 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!
Please look over my classes here on Outschool. If you have any questions or suggestions for classes you'd like to see, please get in touch with me!
