Program Description

Event Details

Curious about Dungeons & Dragons but not sure where to start? Join DM Hannah for a fun, beginner-friendly introduction to the world's most popular tabletop role-playing game! You'll learn the basics of character creation, dice rolling, storytelling, and teamwork as you play through a short adventure together.

This program is perfect for total beginners–no experience or materials needed. We'll cover topics like:

  • The basics of how to create your own hero and choose a class and race
  • Understanding ability checks, saving throws, and combat
  • How roleplaying and teamwork shape the story
  • Tips for creative problem-solving and improvisation
  • What exactly is a DM and what do they even mean when they ask you to roll a D20? 

Come ready to imagine, laugh, and roll some dice–no dragons required (at least, not yet)!

Space is limited & registration is required. Registration is open to teens ages 12-17.
