Dungeons and Dragons is a collaborative role-playing game. Players will build characters who will quest together with a “dungeon master” (Erin) to guide them along and moderate their adventure.

The Storytellers’ Workshop is for anyone who loves creating stories and characters. Unlike a traditional writing workshop, students will work together to “build” a complete story, piece by piece, designing setting, characters, and plot by brainstorming together, playing writing mini-games, and role-playing.
