NOTE: THIS IS A PLAN ONLY AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE
DAY ONE
Introduces the foundations of D&D through guided play.
Participants will learn by doing—creating their characters and stepping straight into a mini adventure designed to gradually introduce mechanics like ability checks, turn order, and teamwork.
DAY TWO
Builds on that momentum with a second adventure that includes combat, puzzles, exploration, and deeper roleplay opportunities.
Throughout the course, we’ll also focus on how to make play sessions memorable: from bold character choices to creative problem-solving and moments of unexpected fun.
Participants will walk away not only with the skills to play, but with the confidence to contribute to exciting, collaborative stories they’ll remember long after the dice stop rolling.
