Students will learn how to play Dungeons & Dragons, a popular tabletop role playing game.
The three pillars of the game will be exploration, social interaction, and combat. Students will learn the rules of the game, create characters, and role play through each session. Students have an opportunity to learn teamwork, creative writing and character development, and improvisational choices. Above all, role playing games are theater of the mind, and cultivate a high degree of imagination.
We are in need of more parent volunteers that know and understand the game.

Magic is fun to play because you use your imagination, and it's basically a cross between the adult version of pokemon and dungeons and dragons.

Each game represents a battle between wizards known as “planeswalkers”, who employ spells, artifacts, and creatures depicted on individual Magic cards to defeat their opponents.
