D&D Workshops

How to be a Dungeon Master (for 14-17y.o.)

About the AV D&D Workshops

Our AV D&D Workshops are designed to offer players the opportunity to develop skills in D&D outside regular D&D sessions. Previous workshops have focused on introduction level skills for players new to D&D.

Based on player and Dungeon Master feedback and requests, we are trying out a new workshop. This workshop will be focused on helping our under 18 players to learn and develop essential skills needed as a Dungeon Master.

As this workshop requires strong existing D&D knowledge, this is only open to players aged 14 to 17 years who have already joined the AV D&D program at least once. This workshop is not suitable for beginner or inexperienced D&D players - players who have not yet joined an AV D&D program are not eligible to register for this pilot workshop.

Who can join?

• AV members aged 14 to 17 only
  

• Players who have previously joined at least one AV D&D group.

• Players with strong existing D&D knowledge

What will be covered?

• Understanding role playing and the social contract
• Basic storytelling, world building, and player styles / types
• Planning, In-game safety, rules / references / guidelines

Players will also have the opportunity to ask questions.

Cost: $40 for AV members.
