初心者のためのダンジョンズ＆ドラゴンズ: 作成、探索、そしてプレイ!

Rumor has it that a dragon has come to the area around Icespire Peak. The locals are scared, they need help! You can be their hero!

This class is an excellent introduction to role-playing games for learners who have never tried the hobby before. More experienced learners are also welcome. Learners will need to have a level 1 character ready to play for this class. If they do not, I offer a different class "Dungeons and Dragons: Step One" for that.

Tabletop role-playing games is an amazing hobby. Dungeons and Dragons is the single biggest game and most popular one, by far. This class provides an introduction to adventuring in DnD. 

Role-playing games can be a gateway to so many amazing creative pursuits:
* Art - drawing ones characters.
* Creative writing - designing the backstory for the character.
* Math - using the rules often requires math skills
* History - learning about the history of the imaginary world often sparks an interest in real world history as well.
* Geography - players have to use maps during game-play and that can spark an interest for how geography matters in real life.
* Social studies - when we play, we create fictional societies, and understanding how a society functions is important to breathing life into fictional societies
* Mythology - a lot of the monsters and creatures of DnD are inspired by real life mythology.
* Team-work and problem-solving- Table-top roleplaying requires players to work together to create a story. Even if the characters in the game might not always get along, the players around the table always should and have to work out their differences so everyone can enjoy together.

I will introduce the learners to all these aspects of tabletop role-playing in this class.

The first week of this campaign, we make characters together. Level 1!

The second week, the learners will play heroes who arrive in the area of Icespire Peak and the small village of Phandalin. There, they will get to know the towns people and the challenges they face with this new threat, and they will get a chance to choose their first adventure!

The third week, they pursue their second quest. If they manage to finish it, the heroes will probably level up again!

The fourth week, more challenging adventures await them, and so we can continue until they have solved all the problems confronting the denizens of Phandalin. Maybe they will even see a dragon before the end?
