    120 minutes

    Curious about Dungeons and Dragons (a.k.a. 'that game from Stranger Things')? Give it a try with this one-session-long adventure for beginners!  

    D&D is a popular fantasy role-playing game in which you and other players take on the role of different characters to explore, solve puzzles, and fight or outwit monsters. Learn the basic rules of this popular game as you undertake an adventure with fellow players!   

    This adventure uses pre-generated characters, so you must register by Thursday October 31st to receive a list of characters to choose from and receive your character info-sheet before game-day. Late registrants and those who do not reply to the character-choosing email will be assigned a random character. 

    Ages: 12-17

    Note: this session is a repeat/rerun of the game played on October 18th. If you attended that session, please do not register for this one, since it is less fun knowing the enemies/puzzles ahead of time and prevents a new player from joining and learning the game.
