 Gaming Club (Formerly DND Club) meets once a week on Thursdays after school and is a great place to make new friends, have fun, be creative. We will be primarily a DND club, but will eventually expand our options to all kinds of tabletop games, such as Blokus, Coup, and Wingspan! Anyone can join, up to a max of 30 students.  Members will initially learn how to create their characters and then participate in a premade adventure, leveling up their hit points and XP (experience points) each week.  Members can choose between being a player or the Dungeon Master - there will be around 6 groups of 5 people each.  No materials need to be purchased - dice and character sheets are provided.  Gaming Club typically meets on Thursdays for 1.5 hour after school, and runs from the end of Sept until April."
