Worlds & Heroes: Storytelling with Dungeons & Dragons(Ages 13-18)
Over the course of four sessions, students will use the structure of the game Dungeons & Dragons to learn how to create worlds, characters, and unique plot lines.
April 19 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm PDT
Do you dream of fighting dragons, casting powerful spells, and trawling through dungeons full of traps and intrigue? If you’re a fan of Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, or fantasy books in general, then this might be the workshop for you.
Using the lens and structure of the popular tabletop role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons, students will explore how to write for a fantasy setting, and implement their writings into a real game. They will practice creating complex, relatable, and compelling characters, building a fantasy world of their own imagination, and learn how to create an interesting plot. At the end of the workshop, students will have a draft of at least one main character, an outline for a fantasy world, and a general understanding of how to play Dungeons & Dragons.
Developed and taught by instructor and writer Miranda Bumstead, this workshop will occur on four consecutive Sundays (April 19th, April 26th, May 3rd, and May 10th) 10am-12pm.
