Looking for an out-of-the-box way to expand your characters and character-building skills? Dungeons & Dragons is a collective storytelling game played amongst friends with dice telling the players what they can and can’t do. “D & D & Writing” aims to take the structure of Dungeons & Dragons and the act of playing the game itself to enable students to conduct a living, ever-deepening study of character and storytelling structures as characters encounter a collective story in real time. Each student will be responsible for producing 10-20 pages of material over the course of six weeks. Each student will be provided with supplementary videos and text to further the study of character. No prior experience necessary. All are welcome.
