NEW Beginner’s Guide Ages 13-16 to Dungeons and Dragons

Dungeons and Dragons is a game unlike any other – it’s driven by the imaginations of the groups that sit down to play it . However, it can be daunting to start, with a thick rule book and seemingly complex system of dice rolls and math . This course aims to give you all the knowledge you need to start playing and creating in D&D . We’ll cover the basics of play, game rules, and character creation and development . Through playing the game, concepts such as focus, cooperation, problem-solving, leadership, risk-assessment, mathematics, writing, and live storytelling can all be explored in an exciting and engaging environment . By the end of nine weeks, you will have a full character ready to play in any game of D&D, a basic grasp of the rules of play, an understanding on how to create your own adventures, and hopefully have your imaginations sparked! Mondays Jan .10-Mar .14 7:00-8:00pm (9 classes, no class Feb .21) $153/Member $180/Public 8490
