Learn to Play Dungeons and Dragons!
Ages 16+
Are you interested in playing Dungeons & Dragons, but not sure where to start? Here’s your chance to learn! The Museum is offering D&D training sessions to get you up to speed. You will learn the basic rules and how to create a character, play a 3-hour game session, and learn how to find online and in-person games.
D&D is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (or TTRPG for short), originally created and designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in 1974. This year not only marks the 50th anniversary of the game, but also the release of a new update to the rule set. Whether you’re new to D&D or haven’t played in years, this is a great opportunity to learn the rules and how to find a game in 2024!
