🚀 Class Description: In this whimsical D&D mini-campaign, players find themselves in the amazing world of Pokémon! Come join us for an amazingly fun time where fun and friendships are the top goals! Each teacher will have a different story, so no two campaigns are alike! Are you going to raid Team Rocket’s base? Run an errand for a professor? Go fight a gym leader? The possibilities are endless with our creative minds at work! The campaign itself will be 6 hours total across 4 sessions, each running 90 minutes. The first session will be about character creation and setting up the rest of the campaign. 🙋 Who is this class for? 🙋♀️ - Those with or without D&D experience! This mini campaign is beginner friendly to learn the basics of character creation and gameplay! - Lovers of Pokémon! -Those who want to express their imagination and creativity in a fun and friendly space 🥳 Small Class Sizes: Our smaller class sizes guarantee quality attention given to everyone! Rather than getting lost inside a giant class or being isolated inside a Zoom breakout room, our teachers play along on their screens and get to know every individual, and learners are given a chance to form true bonds of friendship. 😇 Student Expectations: Students agree adhere to our core philosophy that roleplaying games are team based, inclusive, and supportive of fellow players. Students will strive, to the best of their abilities, to help each other both in and out of the game. Students will also have the integrity to be honest about their dice rolls. 📝 Class Requirements & Supply List: -Dice or access to a random number generator -Journal or notebook to keep track of notes -Character sheets will be provided by the teachers in the first session of the campaign 🗺️Campaign layout: -Week 1: This is our “Session Zero.” We will come together to introduce ourselves, build our characters, and answer any questions that we have before we begin playing. If we get all the characters made in time, we will go ahead and embark on our journey! -Weeks 2 through 4: The next three sessions will be the campaign itself. Be prepared for a good time!
