The World's Greatest Roleplaying Game

Thanks to a generous donation from Wizards of the Coast, DPS now has a Dungeons & Dragons Afterschool Club Kit which contains everything you need to start a D&D club at your school or library. The materials provided are meant to get a program started by beginning with  a couple of learn to play sessions. After you've finished these, you can have players come back on a regular basis to participate in play of Dragons of Stormwreck Isle.

What you'll need: ample table space, one Dungeon Master per five players, & a schedule. It is recommended running the introductory session first, which is playable in 60-90 minutes. There is also a shorter, bite-sized session which is playable in 15-30 minutes. Once you've mastered these, the complete game can span weeks.


Estimated Play Duration: Course of 4-5 weeks to 1 year
Recommended Ages:  12 years old and up / Grade 6 and up

Learning Concepts: STEAM, SEL

Available Kits: 1 

D&D Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle
