In this camp players will learn how to play and design TTRPG's (Table Top Roleplaying Games). They will create characters, work in groups to create settings for adventures, then take turns being the game master leading parties through harrowing adventures.
We'll start off in the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition and use that as our foundation for understanding role playing games before we go adventuring in other worlds and systems. We'll have guest speakers, take field trips, explore fantasy and sci-fi literature, creative writing, mathematical modeling & probability, game design, ethics, world mythologies, civics and history, all to make the ultimate role playing experiences!
After 2 weeks of playing TTRPG's we'll try our hand at inventing our own! No experience, dice, books, etc. required. Just bring your imagination and a thirst for adventure!
