Description

Join Art and Play Instructor Ella for a Dungeons and Dragons session in which participants craft characters to form an adventuring party alongside each other and take off into a fantasy world! Ella will serve as guide, narrator, and companion to adventurers as they play along with a spoken story. Props, a map, and mini-figures will help set the scene in this theater of imagination where player choices have consequences and whether your group saves a NPC villager (Non-Playable Character) from a bandit attack or steals from a friendly NPC shopkeeper may affect a quest later on down the line.

The Story: to be announced…

About the GM:As a big fan of swords, the outdoors and crafts, Ella is quite psyched about being a part of Adventures in Cardboard this summer! She hails from the shores of the great lake Michigan, but has lived half of her life at the foot of Mount Helena. Through the fall, winter and spring she lives in the South-Eastern corner of Washington, where there are tumbleweeds and well-fed squirrels, and where she is currently studying. At school she helps plan and put on the Whitman College Renaissance Faire as a part of the Ren Faire Planning Committee, which also puts on a tournament, a ball, and a murder mystery! She has many hobbies, including reading, writing, tree-climbing, sewing, hiking, scampering around, theater, chopping wood and looking at rocks. Ella is best known for starting the Church of the Great Pumpkin and is probably the biggest fan of Halloween and the band Lord Huron you will ever meet. She cannot wait to go on some epic adventures with all of you this summer.

Preparation: Participants will have the choice of either using a premade character sheet provided at the first session, or are welcome to make their own if they know how to*. More information will be provided in the registration email.

*If making your own, finished character sheets must be brought to the first session! Note on characters – as this campaign takes place in the Realm of AiC, participants are suggested to create characters that are aligned with one of the major clans of Middangeard. This is not a requirement, but clan affiliation may affect certain encounters in the game!

  • Mon: Introduction to fellow adventurers and basic DnD guideline. Our story begins…
  • Tue: …the story continues
  • Wed: Mini “mini” workshop. Players will get to paint the figurines of their adventurers for use in the story.
