Learn the basics of Dungeons and Dragons with some hands-on experience!
Class Experience
PLEASE NOTE: This class is for students who do NOT know how to play D&D. Students who already know how to play will be bored! Are you interested in D&D, but overwhelmed by all the rules and options? Whether you've never played, or only played a few times, this five week class will explain all the different choices and rules when it comes to Dungeons and Dragons! Each class will consist of roughly 40 minutes of discussion about one aspect of D&D, followed by a short, easy play session...
I've introduced more people to D&D than I can count, and almost all of them continue to play to this day! I've taught many D&D classes here on Outschool, and one thing that I notice in a lot of students is a general sort of confusion over the rules - things that a good Dungeon Master can easily help with and explain during class - but that might make a child nervous to play in a group of peers, where the DM might be less experienced. I'm a big believer that the best way to learn D&D is to actually play D&D, but I'm also adept at giving clear, simple explanations of the rules.
