每週 D&D Homebrew Builder：每週創建一個新的 D&D 元素！

In this class, students will create a new monster, magical item, class or spell each week to use in their own D&D campaigns, or share with friends! This class is a great blend of creative writing, social club, and D&D fandom.
 
Students will be guided step-by-step through brainstorming stat blocks, special moves, individual characteristics, and more, and then encouraged to write a quick story about their new creation to introduce it to the world.

Students may write their creations freehand or type them out. At the end of class, students are invited (but not required) to share their story aloud with their classmates.  

This class is taught not just by published authors, but also experienced game masters. Each creation will conform to the current D&D 5E ruleset, making it playable and shareable, both on and offline.


Classes meeting the first week of February:
Task: Make a new, playable insect race based on centipedes!
Together, the class will investigate interesting real-life facts about centipedes—their lifecycle, their prey, their coloration and more, then integrate those facts with their own imaginations, to create a playable Centipede race for D&D.

Classes meeting the second week of February:
Task: Create a personal artifact based on their favorite possession!
Dungeons & Dragons gives players the chance to create a bigger, better, more exciting version of themselves. And that means sometimes, their Orc Barbarian Warrior might also love collecting locking blocks. Perhaps that mysterious Tiefling Rogue carries a patch of purple fabric that once belonged to their favorite blanket.  With this task, students will transform their favorite things into mighty artifacts that may turn the tide of battle!

Classes meeting the third week of February:
Task: Create monster disguised as a treasure hoard!
Using real-life examples of extreme camouflage in the wild as a template, students will create a sneaky creature their treasure-hungry players can’t resist! They’ll be able to model their monster after real-life animals like the Leafy Sea Dragon, the Potoo bird, Dresser Crabs, Walking Sticks and more.

 

Note: We will NOT be playing Dungeons & Dragons in this class!
