Come visit a worlds of swords and sorcery. D&D is driven by imagination. It is about picturing the towering castle beneath the stormy night sky and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents.
D&D gives structure to the stories, a way of determining the consequences of the adventurers’ actions and anything is possible.
Each player creates their own adventurer (character) and teams up with other adventures (played by other teens). Each week, the group has a new story and a new mission, they might explore a dark dungeon, a ruined city, haunted castle, a lost temple deep in a jungle, or a lava-filled cavern beneath a mysterious mountain. The adventurers can solve puzzle, talk with other characters, battle fantastis monsters and discover fabolous magic items and other treasurers.
The group will focus on social skills, problem-solving, perspective-taking and imaginative play. Adventurers will find like-minded individuals, who are creative and social and want to form a tribe of friends like themselves!
