In this session, the student will learn how combat mechanics, saving throws, ability checks, damage, hit points, and other game rules work in a live game.  They will see examples of narration, role play, and game management by the Dungeon Master.  If the players are successful in their quest and time permits, they will receive treasure, and experience points to add to their character.  They will also have the opportunity to practice role-play skills as well.

I have been playing D&D since I was 7 years old and have been the DM for the vast majority of that time.  I have taught instructional classes and adventures for new and experienced players here on Outschool for over 3 years with hundreds of excellent reviews and thousands of students.  I have a passion and enthusiasm for the game, incredible patience and creative imagination that will make for a wonderful and enriching experience. 

The learner should have some familiarity with the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules and the overall concept of the game.

Players may benefit from referencing the Starter Set, Player's Handbook, dndbeyond.com and the handouts I will post to the class.
