In a game of Dungeons & Dragons, the players form an adventuring party who explore fantasy worlds and complete epic quests. The group plays, very informally and with lots of interaction and discussion, around a table with the aid of maps, character sheets, reference handbooks and lots of dice. The game is set in a "Lord of the Rings" style world, with elves, dwarves, trolls and (possibly) dragons. You will role-play (through conversation) an individual character in that world, working with your team-mates to solve puzzles, defeat monsters and save the locals from impending doom. The game is an evolving story, driven by the actions and choices of the players through the characters they create. Led by the Dungeon Master - the game's referee and lead storyteller - this course will comprise a mini Dungeons & Dragons campaign for up to 8 new or less experienced players.
