Come play Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition with me, as we adventure through different D&D 5e game modules.  Learners will make their own characters, and play through different challenges every week.  Even though the story will progress, the encounters we will create each week are self-contained, so players may join or leave the campaign at any point without impacting the game or their gaming experience.  My goal is to help make our campaign so exciting that players will look forward to our games every week in anticipation of what comes next!

We will start by playing through the Dragon of Icespire Peak Adventure!  The class will continue in one module until it is completed, at which point we will begin a new campaign in a different adventure.  There is a long list of exciting adventures to choose from, like Curse of Strahd, Hoard of the Dragon Queen, Storm King’s Thunder, Cloud Giant’s Bargain, Waterdeep:  Dragon Heist, Waterdeep:  Dungeon of the Mad Mage, The Lost Mine of Phandelver, Ghosts of Saltmarsh, and many more!  Here is a quick look into the agenda for the first few weeks:

Week of 1/17/22:  Our heroes assemble for the first time!  We will make sure everyone has a Player Character ready to go, and then begin our game!  Our adventurers meet a mysterious stranger that offers them the chance of a lifetime, with fame, fortune, and glory for the taking.  The players find themselves in a new land, with a new mission:  protect the local people from a terrible white dragon!

Week of 1/24/22:  The party must choose from three different starting quests.  Will we choose the Gnomengarde Quest, the Dwarven Excavation Quest, or a rescue mission at Umbrage Hill?

Week of 1/31/22:  Our epic story continues!  After completing two of the three initial quests, all Player Characters will level up!  We go through this process in class, so we can review the mechanics and strategy involved with those decisions.

Week of 2/7/22:  There are new paths to explore!  The Townmaster's brother runs a logging camp deep in the Neverwinter Woods.  The party must deliver a payload of much-needed supplies to the loggers.  What dangers and mysteries lurk in the woods?

Of course, as all good Dungeon Masters should, I reserve the creative right to home-brew and modify the campaigns as needed to make them engaging.  However, those who don’t wish to spoil the story too much should still avoid reading through the game guide on their own.  Classes are learner led, and will evolve only as the learners play the game.  Players may come and go, but the story will keep moving forward.  This means that every session will be unique and approachable to everyone, regardless of when they join the campaign.

Players of all experience levels are welcome, though I strongly recommend having some knowledge of D&D before joining. Learners will need to make a Player Character, and I believe players have an easier time relaxing if they are familiar with the rules.  If you’re just getting started, please consider taking my Outschool class, “Come Learn How to Play D&D With Me!”:

I work hard to create a safe, positive learning environment in my classes and at my game table.  I encourage learners to practice respectful communication, and we appreciate the ideas and contributions each learner has to offer.  I am so excited about this class.  Playing D&D with friends and family is my favorite way to have fun.  I can’t wait to see what amazing memories and stories we create together!
