- SAT, June 8 :: 1–6pm :: Introduction to Dungeons & Dragons
What is D&D? A worldwide pop culture phenomenon for thirty years, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D®) is a game played with books, paper and pencils. Players create characters that go on a journey together through a fantasy realm to discover treasure, fight monsters, and triumph over adversity. Teens love D&D because it’s exciting. Educators love D&D because it thrives on creativity, imagination, and cooperation(with a bit of math and reading thrown in). PERFECT for new and beginning players, this session will focus on character creation and the rules of combat.

Throughout the course of this 4-part workshop, teen writers will learn about generating new ideas or getting unstuck, the different kinds of plots stories may have, building believable characters, how to decide on a point of view, and many other helpful and inspiring writing tips and tricks. It is hoped that teens will participate in all four parts of the workshop, as they build upon each other to form a comprehensive and fun writing course, but drop-ins with advance notice will be welcome also.
