DESCRIPTION
In this BEGINNER version of our popular VR club we've lowered the max number of learners and focused the time on learning the movement and skills in the class.

Our Virtual Masters will work with learners each week on the following skills in the game:
-Basic Movement
-Swimming
-Ropes
-Basic climbing

In the last 10 minutes of each class we'll introduce different mini-games that are played in our experienced club.

When your learner can complete the Gorilla Tag obstacle course they are ready to join our longer club!

VR ONLINE SAFETY
While this class is about socializing and having fun with peers it is also a chance for learners to learn how to interact with others in VR in a responsible, respectful way. Guild of Imagination Virtual Masters are there to give guidance and to show that we should all show the same kindness online and in VR that we do in real life.

Let's face it, the world of online gaming in VR and out is not always the safest for our learners. Guild of Imagination provides a safe place for your learner to meet other children their age around the world all while interacting in ways never before possible. And the best part is that this experience is in a safe place where they can have fun and not worry about the dangers of online gaming.

At the start of each class we will join a private room with a room code we generate and a gamer tag may be necessary to share with the teacher only. During class learners will be required to have their microphone on and volume down on their Zoom meeting device. They will also be required to be in front of the Zoom meeting on their computer during class.

The Zoom chat function is continuously checked by our Virtual Masters during class. So if you're learner needs something, or can't find their way around a map they should type in the chat so the Virtual Master can help them with their needs!

Because this is an ongoing club, learners will be able to drop in and out as their schedule requires.

MISSION
Guild of Imagination’s mission is to empower learners to explore their creativity, embrace diverse perspectives, and foster lifelong curiosity through immersive storytelling experiences.

OUR VALUES
1. Inclusivity: We embrace diversity and create a safe, inclusive space where learners from all backgrounds feel valued, respected, and empowered to explore their creative potential.

2. Empathy: We cultivate empathy and understanding, fostering a culture of compassion and support, where learners can freely express themselves and connect with others on meaningful storytelling journeys.

3. Creativity: We ignite and nurture the spark of creativity within each learner, cultivating an environment that encourages imaginative thinking, innovation, and the development of unique storytelling voices.

4. Community: We build a strong sense of community, where learners come together, collaborate, and form lasting friendships, creating a network of support and shared storytelling experiences.

5. Growth: We promote continuous learning and growth, providing opportunities for learners to expand their storytelling skills, build confidence, and unlock their full creative potential, laying the foundation for lifelong learning.

GUILD OF IMAGINATION BADGES
Explorer - This type of class is for learners that like to solve mysteries, explore new worlds and discover the unique advantages of virtual reality.

SERVERS AND REFUNDS
Gorilla Tag is played in a private room created each class. This ensures a safe environment for each learner enrolled in the class. While you are enrolled we will provide a 50% refund, or transfer to another section within the same week (if available), with 24 hours notice of an upcoming absence. This will save a learner's spot in the class for a week they can't attend.

Alternatively you may pause your subscription with Outschool's pause function. Please note that this will not save your learner's spot in the class.

Welcome to the Guild of Imagination!

My name is Patrick Stephens. I have a love for tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and want to bring that love to as many people as I can. The Guild of Imagination will be teaching classes on how to play Dungeons & Dragons with a focus on team storytelling, problem solving, critical thinking, social interaction and much more!

I am a father of 4 and have been playing both board games and tabletop role-playing games with my children since I can remember. We love to get together as a family, with cousins or friends and tell amazing stories! I personally love Dungeons & Dragons because of the bonds you create with the other people playing the game with you. You also get to build memories of going on fantastic adventures with friends and driving that story. I created the Guild of Imagination to help your children build those memories, too!

The Guild of Imagination offers 4 types of classes, each one is color coded on our class pictures:

**Green Guild Badge (Apprentice) - These classes are for beginners. Your child may want to play Dungeons & Dragons but maybe doesn't know how to get started. Or maybe they want to learn how to create a character for the game. Maybe they've played a little, but aren't comfortable jumping in with experienced players. For Apprentice classes look for the Green Guild Badge!

**Blue Guild Badge (Hero) - These classes are for kids that may have experience or are ready to jump in and learn with others that have played before. If your child is looking for a multi-week or ongoing campaign they can play with other kids that love the game they can find that here. For Hero classes look for the Blue Dragon Badge!

**Orange Guild Badge (Scholar) - These classes are for players or Dungeon Masters looking to up their game. These classes will provide your child with inside knowledge, hints, tricks and tips to help them create more believable worlds, run a smoother game for their friends, or maybe learn some rules they hadn't known about before. For Scholar classes look for the Orange Guild Badge!

**Purple Guild Badge (Explorer) - These classes are for the children that love mysteries and exploring new worlds. These classes don’t focus on a role-playing game like Dungeons & Dragons, instead you’ll find the guild’s Puzzle Adventures and Virtual Reality experiences. Your child will solve puzzles, crack codes and explore worlds! For Explorer classes look for the Purple Guild Badge!

Our Dungeon Masters

**Patrick Stephens** - Patrick is a father of 4 and has been playing both board games and tabletop role-playing games with his children since he can remember. He loves Dungeons & Dragons because of the bonds you create with the other people playing the game with you. You also get to build memories of going on fantastic adventures with friends!

**Dean McKinnon** - In 2020, Dean created Dragons Love Parties, a D&D events company in Toronto, Canada. He has over five years experience playing and running Dungeons and Dragons games (and various tabletop games) as well as five-years experience programming for kids ages 8-16 with Boys & Girls Clubs of Canada. After playing D&D with his own kids, he realized the incredible gift of the game — an opportunity for creativity, problem-solving and imaginative play for a team of friends. It is his greatest pride and passion to introduce and facilitate games of D&D to kids and adults all over the world.

**Gary Sousa** - Gary started his D&D career in the late 70s with the original box set and spent the better part of the 80s saving up his dollars and cents for the latest module from TSR or thumbing through the most-recent issue of Dragon Magazine at his local hobby store. Ever the DM, he learned to enjoy building and managing the sandbox in which his friends could play out their imaginations. Although “growing up” put his RPG self into temporal stasis, Gary eventually found his way back into education as a high-school teacher, where he came to realize the potential of game play as a formal learning tool. Now in his third decade of teaching history, Gary uses a number of role-playing scenarios, both in his classroom and in his leisure time, and most enjoys developing the means to meld both modes.

**Cory Gillings** - In 2020 Cory Gillings began his journey to provide a safe place for kids to learn, create, share and express themselves. He started the D20 Guild Enrichment Program where he teaches kids how to play Dungeons and Dragons as an extracurricular activity where they get practice with math, literacy, problem solving and growth mindset training. He uses Dungeons and Dragons as an amazing tool for kids to learn social emotional development. Allowing kids of all ages to express themselves with confidence and explore the endless possibilities of a life of an adventurer. He hopes to one day open an afterschool facility.

**Shayne Taylor** - Despite an almost lifelong background in roleplay, performance, gaming, and storytelling – particularly within the Fantasy genre – Shayne only really found D&D within the last few years. Once he discovered that this game (and other TTRPGs like it) could provide those passions with such structure and comradery, however, the floodgates were opened. Before ever playing in a single session, Shayne began writing adventures to share with his friends and instantly jumped behind the DM’s screen.

His love of D&D has grown exponentially since then, with his focus geared towards creating safe, accessible, and inclusive spaces for people of all backgrounds and abilities to experience the power of this game. He is so excited for the opportunity to help youth tell their stories; explore their creativity; and build the kind of lasting memories and kinships that Bards will sing of for ages to come.

**Tom Madge** - Hello! I’m Tom, an avid gamer, world builder and dungeon master! I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for over 14 years among other games, love creating my own worlds for players to explore and have recently began creating my own homebrew rules.

We can't wait to go on your next adventure with you!
