Class Experience

Do you just want to bring powerful heroes against terrifying creatures without all of the travel, puzzle-solving, roleplaying, and in-between time? This is the place! Your team must be tactical, creative, and together to stand a chance!

Dungeons and Dragons is is collaborative storytelling game. It is a game of vast possibilities where you learn to think carefully, to plan, to strategize, to persuade, to resolve conflict, to collaborate, to express yourself more clearly, and so much more, all while exploring memorable locales, meeting fascinating characters in the story, and defeating powerful enemies.

In this course, we will play through an adventure which focuses on difficult and unique battles, battles you will not find in a typical adventure until the adventure's end. And we will have a lot of them. As such, each week will be a different battle, directed by the learners' input as to what they want to face. Harder battles may take two sessions. Because of this simplified schedule, it will be easy to come and go from the class as you need to.

This course will give students a great deal of experience in the details, rules, and mechanics of Dungeons and Dragons. In the course students will also grow close with the other students they are adventuring with and learn to communicate clearly, work together, and treat one another with respect. Please note that this is an ongoing course as it is impossible to give a specific number of meetings because that depends how the story develops in the hands of the students. Compared to other campaigns, though, this is considered a medium-length campaign (meaning likely six months). This is a pretty easy adventure to leave, though. If you must leave at some point, please don't worry about your fellow classmates. We will exit your character and bring in another student in a way that progresses the story.

Note: You must have your video on for these sessions and be unmuted as often as you can. D&D is a game of community and collaboration, of experiencing, struggling, and laughing together. If you cannot actively participate, please do not enroll. Reach out to me if you have questions about this.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Though there is combat in this game, it is described in words, not images. I will also ask and require students to be conscious of their descriptions, avoiding anything grotesque or inhumane.
