Become a hero and embark on a Dungeons & Dragons adventure in the land of Ithreach, a fantasy setting where seasons change and the story continues to grow. This game emphasizes heroism, teamwork, empathy, and storytelling skills. Continue D&D: Ithreach Adventures Each week, embark on a new adventure where personal heroics and group cooperation go hand in hand. Uncover strange plots, battle evil creatures, and bring justice and prosperity to the kingdom. Campaigns will be selected based on the group in attendance, ensuring new and exciting experiences for both novices with some D&D experience and seasoned players. Full-Day: Want to make it a full day? Simply sign up for both the morning and afternoon sessions and join Roll Models for a full day of D&D fun! In addition to playing in a D&D adventure, we are pleased to offer a full-day program for kids who want to explore other D&D activities that happen away from the game table. Every day, our full-day players will join one of the tabletop games, then spend the rest of the day trying something new: we’ll paint miniature figures, learn about Live Action Roleplay (LARP) combat with foam weapons, collaborate on world-building and storytelling, even create an entire custom D&D encounter from scratch, then play it!
