Become an adventurer in a fantasy world filled with magical beasts! Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is an interactive storytelling game where you create a character and test its might in an original tale. Practice a variety of skills including improvisation, critical thinking, math, and public speaking. We will use physical tools like books, battle maps, and figures as well as digital ones such as an online library of D&D books and a character creation app to keep the story flowing smoothly. We discourage students from creating characters before the first day of class. Instructors and students will collaborate to determine what kind of story that they will create. In the past, students who arrived with a character in hand have been disappointed if their character doesn't fit the group decision.
