“Their characters are going on an adventure,” Hickman said, “and I’m kind of running it for them.”
Junior Louis Fratzke adds “It’s like an episode…an episode of a TV series, a long running TV series.”
Sophomore Axel Pearson explains the game: “You roll dice to determine what happens in the game. There are modifiers for those days, so basically everything is determined by random chance, with a little bit of an edge in a direction [that’s] based on your character’s proficiencies and like what they’re good at.”
Pearsons character’s name is Luci, he explains the game: “You play as a character that you create on an app or paper. […] it’s mostly fantasy characters, [for example] an elf or a dorf. [As you advance] you can be a bard or wizard or something cool like that. You just get to grow your personality and level up,” Pearson said.
“We’ve got an hour and a half usually,” Hickman said. “our club period — we call them sessions –we play D and D, usually.”
Dungeons and Dragons club allows members to connect with friends after school to tell a story through a game. The tabletop role play club plays D and D every Tuesday after school for an hour and a half in the science elective room.
