Do you dream of spinning tales of intrigue, stumping players with clever puzzles, or running epic and imaginative combat? This class will help you discover your own unique Dungeon Master style — and give you the tools and confidence to bring it to life at the table. Designed for experienced players, this five-week program walks students through everything they need to run a great game of D&D. Each student receives one-on-one guidance, weekly skill-building prompts, and the chance to put it all into practice through regular student-run one shots. Students will explore how to set the scene, exploration, role play and combat, rules and player communication, and how to either make your own world (Homebrew) or use a D&D book (Module). By the end of the course, students will be ready to run their own games with confidence!
