💡 Beginners to D&D welcome! 🏰 Explore Sigil, the City of Doors which is shaped like the inside of a donut! ⚔️ Face memorable enemies from foul monsters to unhospitable shopkeepers! Official Description: ------ A multiversal glitch returns several souls to life in Sigil, the impossible city at the center of the Outer Planes. Uncertain of who they are and seeking answers, these wanderers must explore the City of Doors, contend with mighty immortals, and chronicle the farthest reaches of the Outlands. In doing so, the adventurers discover a plot to undermine the rules of reality and have a chance to recover their true identities. Infinite realms of immortals and impossibilities, the Outer Planes brim with celestials, fiends, gods, and the dead—and they’re all just a step away. Enter a portal to Sigil, the City of Doors—an incredible metropolis where portals connect to every corner of the multiverse. From there, venture to the Outlands, the hub of the Outer Planes, and discover wonders beyond imagination. The possibilities – just like the realms – are endless. ------ 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, and so much more, all while exploring memorable locales, meeting fascinating NPCs, and defeating truly frightening enemies. This course will give students a great deal of experience in the details, rules, and mechanics of Dungeons and Dragons. Students will also grow close with the other students they are adventuring with and learn to better communicate, work together, and treat one another with respect while collaborating to solve puzzles, fight enemies, and tell a great story. 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 long campaign (meaning likely 8+ months). 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. 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.
Also, we use dndbeyond.com to track characters and roles in this game. You will need a free account then will have access to all of my purchased materials once you join the campaign.
Supply List
Students will need a completed character which I will check before the first session (students who completed 102 with me have one but may create another using dndbeyond.com). Please do not hesitate to message me with questions about character concepts or rules.
