Step into the story and become the hero! In this lively, welcoming session young adventurers will learn the core mechanics of tabletop roleplaying in a hands-on, imaginative way.

What we'll cover

  • Character movement: exploring maps, using terrain, and positioning for success.

  • Basic combat: turns, attacks, defenses, and teamwork-friendly tactics.

  • Spellcasting basics: simple spells, how they work, and roleplaying magical choices.

  • Decision-making & roleplay: making choices that shape the story, using imagination to solve problems, and speaking in-character.

  • Game etiquette: listening, taking turns, and supporting fellow players.

Why kids will love it

  • Play-focused learning: kids learn by doing — short, fun scenarios let them practice immediately.

  • Low-pressure environment: encouraging facilitators guide each child at their own pace.

  • Creativity-first approach: emphasis on story, teamwork, and imaginative play over rules mastery.

  • Hands-on props and simple maps to spark wonder and make mechanics clear.
