Follow Morgan into your very own fantasy story with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, and have your heroic deeds chronicled in the library's hall of fame! All players will be using the official D&D Beyond cloud app, so there are never any worries about forgetting your character sheet or dice, and rulebooks are supplied by us. Intended for adults 18+.
Please note: This program focuses on shorter adventures that are achievable over a reasonable number of sessions. At the conclusion of each adventure, there will be a new registration period to allow different community members to participate. Registration is always first come, first served; seats cannot be "held" based on prior or other program participation, but current players will necessarily be the first to know about upcoming registration periods.
