Heroes Academy®: Dungeons & Dragons

ACE Kids K-12 / Fantasy & Games -

Winter 2023

Role playing games give players experience with a variety of skills including improvisation, critical thinking, math, and public speaking. We will use Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition rules to create characters and then test their might through an interactive story. Everyone will be taught—at a comfortable skill level—how to make characters and even run their own games as dungeon masters.

Please note: We discourage students from creating characters before the first day of class. Instructors and students will collaborate to determine what kind of story they will create and in the past, students who arrived with a character in hand have been disappointed if their character doesn't fit the group decision.

Larp Adventure Programs

LARP Adventure Program is an interactive and improvisational theater program in which participants create a storyline featuring a heroic character. Through acting out the plot of the story, characters evolve and grow. LARP Adventure Program members and staff emphasize community, communication, and creativity. We foster a safe space for exploring life skills through role play. Enjoyable aspects include working with friends to create of a story, the opportunity to overcome challenges, the pursuit of a character’s objectives, and game-like aspects such as intellectual puzzles and athletic play.
