School Clubs

DnD Club–

Who: Any MME kiddo grades 2nd-6th (or adult volunteer)

What you need to join: Nothing! You can bring your own dice if you want: one each of a 20 sided, 12 sided, 10 sided, 8 sided, 6 sided, and 4 sided dice for a complete set. A character sheet is provided, and there is spare dice for those who need them. Upon joining, one of the adult facilitators will help the participant create their character.

When & Where: Fridays after school – starting at approximately 3:15pm – until about 4:00pm in Maestro Brickman’s room, F2, unless there is a school holiday. Don’t worry about missing a session, all stories and encounters are made with flexibility in mind.

How: Attendees are divided into groups of 3-6 players, who will proceed through smaller encounters with influence on a wider ranging environment, led by adult volunteers. Some groups can be led by volunteer 5th or 6th graders depending on their experience and interest in leading the story for a group. There is no set story, it is developed over time based on the actions and outcomes determined by the players.

Why: We encourage imagination and deep thinking into the how and why of the participants characters actions… importantly, without a screen! We aim to have the participants learning about how they can work together utilizing their different character skills to succeed – or fail – at the tasks put in front of them. Even in failure, the story continues!
