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.

The world of Lord of the Rings is best described thematically as "PG-13". It is intense. There are people and creatures which have long histories of animosity, dark magic pervades the land, and a dark forest hides unknown power. The world is dangerous and character death in this system, while not "regular", is very realistic. "Corruption", which means using magic for possibly negative ends, is a game mechanic that players can choose to use (with consequences, sort of like the Dark Side of the Force in Star Wars).

As with all our classes, depictions of violence and language will be kept to an age appropriate standard. Gore, profanity, and explicit violence are not depicted. 

This game is not appropriate for players under 13 years of age. No exceptions.
