6:00 PM - Dungeons and Dragons 101, Norwin Public Library*
Monday, April 19th at 6pm on Zoom Beware the smiling Dungeon Master as the dice giveth and the dice taketh away. Have you always wanted to learn how to play the role playing game of Dungeons and Dragons? Has Stranger Things got you thinking of the nostalgia for the 80's? If so, join our D&D for Beginners course. "The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game is about storytelling in worlds of sword and sorcery. It shares elements with childhood games of make-believe. Like those games, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing the towering castle beneath the stormy night sky and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents. Unlike a game of make-believe, D&D gives structure to the stories, a way of determining the consequences of the adventurers’ action. Players roll dice to resolve whether their attacks hit or miss or whether their adventurers can scale a cliff, roll away from the strike of a magical lightning bolt, or pull off some other dangerous task. Anything is possible, but the dice make some outcomes more probable than others. In the Dungeons & Dragons game, each player creates an adventurer (also called a character) and teams up with other adventurers (played by friends). Working together, the group might explore a dark dungeon, a ruined city, a haunted castle, a lost temple deep in a jungle, or a lava-filled cavern beneath a mysterious mountain. The adventurers can solve puzzles, talk with other characters, battle fantastic monsters, and discover fabulous magic items and other treasure." -https://dnd.wizards.com/ This program will be held on Zoom. You must register to join. A zoom link will be emailed over to you a few days before the program. Any questions, please email mmatthews@norwinpubliclibrary.net Adventure Awaits!
