Dungeons & Dragons with Ben
For Grades 6th-8th
Dungeons & Dragons is a “TTRPG” (Table Top Role Playing Game) in which players first create and then control their own unique, fantasy world adventures – perhaps a high elven sorceress, a dragon-born druid, a hill tribe barbarian, or any of a thousand other possibilities – each with their own individual, player-generated backstories, strengths, weaknesses, and magic abilities. The “PC” (Player Characters) strategically join forces to seek treasure, battle monsters, and fulfill quests in a collaborative, interactive storytelling environment, populated with “non-player” creatures ranging from malicious and evil to jovial and kind-hearted. Please note that Dungeons & Dragons. This club’s specific D&D world will have realistic “dark and eerie” themes, but will be tailored to both the school environment and the age/preferences of the players. The Dungeon Master (DM) is our 8th Grader Ben with support from a school staff member.
