The Rise of Tiamat - D&D Teaching Campaign (Advanced)

Hi! This class is going to be structured in the same away that a Dungeons and Dragons campaign is ran; our first session together will be setting the scene of the story and quests they need to take care, learning how they want to play the game, and get the students familiar with each other and their game characters they are playing. From that point forward, the students will work together to decide on what to do next; will they go chase down a group of people trying to steal a magical crystal, destroy a beacon necessary for the ritual, or go and try to negotiate peace terms with a group that can be potential. With teaching the game, comes many opportunities for your student to ask questions; how does this spell work? Will the ability be helpful in this scene? Can we talk to each other before doing the activity? Not only are they encouraged to ask questions in my class, they are also encouraged to communicate with each other to come up with plans on how to handle the various situations that come up in a multi-week campaign. They also get to stretch their imaginations but also thinking and acting in character as well; what does your character say? What do they think? How would they act if this creature came running toward them? With these kinds of questions, the students then have to look at the character they made, the items they have, and the abilities they have to know what the character can and cannot do. Please see the general schedule of how each week will look like for your child and an overview of the story as well. Your child will need a level 16 character to participate as there is much more in depth threats and elements to this campaign.
