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! Eric 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: Ella Smith (they/she) was born in Helena and grew up between Montana and Pennsylvania. After studying jazz performance and composition at the University of North Texas, Ella returned home to Montana, fell in love with community organizing, and began a decade-long career in politics and public policy. A lifelong fantasy reader, gamer, and role player, Ella has logged an abundance of hours playing DnD. Above all, they enjoy the combination of story creation and improvisational play that goes into running a game. In their free time, Ella enjoys cracking jokes, reading fantasy novels, writing songs, and wandering aimlessly with her dog, Pippen.
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!
Fri: Dungeon or Final Boss. Ella will help players either make a dungeon for their fellow adventurers to journey through or fight a boss battle.
