Adventurers will spend the week playing a Dungeons & Dragons adventure run by Writopia Lab's experienced Dungeon Masters. D&D is the world’s most famous tabletop role-playing game, where players each control one adventurer — a spellcaster, a brutish fighter, a wily rogue, a healer — while the Dungeon Master guides them through the fantastical world around them. The players will be presented with challenges, areas to explore, victims to rescue, and monsters to dispatch.

Our Dungeon Masters will help the players select pre-generated characters or make their own characters, describe the world and the specific setting in which the characters find themselves, and spin tall tales of adventure in which the players get to shape the storyline. The characters controlled by the players are free to do what they want — but there are consequences to every action they take, so have fun and act wisely!

Indeed, in addition to being incredibly fun, Dungeons & Dragons campaigns foster collaboration, creative engagement, and critical thinking skills.

Thursday is Willem’s favorite day of the week! He and several others from their D & D game just chatted with each other on roll20 the other day— love the way this group has bonded. I’m amazed and grateful to know that making friends virtually during a pandemic is totally a thing.
