Play Dungeons and Dragons at the library! Whether you've always wanted to learn, haven't played in years, or are an experienced player looking to join a table, try this five-part introduction to D&D for adults with Ottawa game master Allan Humphrey. The first session will include instruction on how to create a D&D character plus time to prepare for the game. Allan will run the adventure Dragons of Stormwreck Isle over the next four sessions. Registration is required, and the game is intended for players 18 and older. Note: If enough players join the waiting list, we will open a second table and run the first chapter of Waterdeep: Dragon Heist as well.
