In this class, students will learn the basics of playing Dungeons and Dragons by simply jumping into the adventure. Students are placed at the focus of the lesson and will be actively working together 10 minutes into the session. Through this one-session adventure, students will learn about the basic combat mechanics, as well as teamwork, cooperation, and problem solving skills. This class is designed for new players and for players to practice combat rules with some roleplaying. 

The Impregnable Fortress of Dib is a one shot D&D adventure designed for 1st level characters. 

The adventure overview:
There’s been reports of bandits and roadside attacks, along with rumours of a strange “fortress” appearing off the road from Phandalin. You and your classmates have been asked to investigate and put a stop to this. Only then can the town feel at ease.  

This is a highly interactive class, putting learners in the middle of the learning. They will make "in-game" decisions that will help them learn the detailed mechanics of Dungeons & Dragons. More importantly, we'll focus on how working together as a team is an effective way to overcome challenges both in game and in life.

Conceptually, we will learn how the game mechanics work and then we will use those mechanics with examples that occur in an D&D encounter!  We will cover combat, saving throws, skill and ability checks. 

We will be utilising Dnd Beyond for our characters and Roll 20 to simulate the tabletop experience.

Students are welcome to prepare their own characters ahead of time if they know how. Otherwise I will have a selection of pre-made characters to choose from at the beginning of the lesson.
