Embark on a thrilling Dungeons & Dragons adventure. Join us for a two-day D&D class during early release days, where you'll learn the basics of character creation, storytelling, and dice rolling. Over these classes, you'll collaborate with fellow adventurers to craft a unique character, explore fantastical realms, and overcome exciting challenges. No prior experience is necessary – just bring your imagination and a sense of adventure!
