The Temple of Blue Stones was built centuries ago by followers of the goddess of magic, Mystra. Long ago, the Lady of Magic was forcibly removed from her position in the pantheon, and the Temple eventually fell to ruin as her followers disbanded. Mystra has recently been resurrected, and her worship has soared along with her rebirth. The new High Priest of the nearby city of Arabel would like the Temple of Blue Stones cleared out of unwanted inhabitants so it can be reestablished as a proper place of worship to Mystra. What else will you find in the long abandoned temple? Dungeons and Dragons is a collaborative role playing game in which players must work together, solve puzzles, and think critically. D&D requires some basic math skills, social interaction, and lots of imagination! As this adventure is for both beginner and experienced players, I will be providing some pre-made 1st level character options for the players to choose between. We will start the session with introductions, a brief overview of D&D as a whole, choosing characters, and then we'll dive right into the game! The game will take place over the course of 2 hours and 45 minutes, with a 15-minute break roughly halfway through. Important note: As this is a cooperative experience, there will be no PvP (player vs player) content, and no evil characters. This course requires a small amount of knowledge on how to play Dungeons and Dragons, but not much else. We will play on a platform called Roll20, which is a "virtual table top" website, used for playing D&D online. No account is required, as I will be sharing the screen. The adventure "Mystra's Secret" was created by J.A. Valeur of Eventyr Games, and has received high acclaim in the D&D community. Some aspects have been altered slightly to assist in ensuring the adventure can be completed within the given time.
Learning Goals
Students will hone in on social skills like teamwork and collective problem solving.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Dungeons and Dragons games vary widely on content, and can go from zero mature content to vastly mature. While running any games on Outschool, I will be staying far from all mature stuff. It does involve violence, as D&D is known for combat as well as role-playing, but I won't be using any grotesque, visceral descriptions of things.
Supply List
While I will be supplying pre-made characters, it would be a good idea for each student (or household in the case of multiple participants) to have a copy of the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Player's Handbook. This is an incredible, all but essential resource for anyone looking to play and understand how to play D&D. It is also not required to have a set of D&D dice, as I am a proper dice goblin myself and can roll for players. However, it's never too early or late to start collecting the pretty math rocks!
