About the adventure
Is your child showing nerdy tendencies? Are they very into magic, dungeons, and/or dragons? Showing an aptitude for storytelling? Let's teach them D&D! I'll teach you and your kid/kids how to make characters, play in the game, and generally channel your chaos and imagination into a game that allows you and your child/children to work with the rest of the party to accomplish overarching goals (fight dragons). We'll be playing the module Dragon of Icespire Peak, a Forgotten Realms adventure, but will likely venture into homebrew (made-up) story before long. Everything will be family-friendly and you (the parent) and I will have a conversation or two to make sure the game is not only safe for your child, but interesting and exciting for everyone. Feel free to message me to ask any questions, and get ready for adventure! I will need at least one parent to be present with your child, just to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. We'll spend at least one session going over the basics of making characters, and I'll walk you through every step of making a character. The first few sessions will be a gentle introduction to the rules and how to play the game before we jump feet-first into a land of magic, swordfighting, and chaos!

Additional details
How to prepare
Just bring yourself and your internet connection! I will be on camera, but that is not required. We will mostly play with voice, and a computer monitor of some sort will be needed to see the TaleSpire terrains where we'll do battle. Otherwise, just you, you child, and all the creativity you can muster!
What I provide
I bring custom maps for getting around, TaleSpire maps for combats and encounters, plenty of silly voices, and a lifetime of storytelling experience. I play heavily off of the wants and creations of my players, so the game will be molded by all of you. Character sheets will be on D&D Beyond, and everything else will be run through Discord.
Gameplay details
In session 0, we'll go over the basics of character creation, the basics of gameplay, and what we all expect out of each other at the table. We'll also talk about things we want to see and don't want to see in the game. All players are absolutely welcome to leave the table (open door) if they're feeling uncomfortable, and I will make sure to understand the discomforting elements and eliminate them from the game. We will be taking breaks throughout to make sure everyone is happy. In addition, everyone is welcome to message me at any time for any reason.

How will character creation work
We'll do character creation together! I'll spend part of Session 0 (session before the campaign begins) explaining how to make characters, and will walk each player through individually until everyone has a character they're excited to play.
