Overview
Dungeons & Dragons, the epic fantasy role-playing game where players craft characters to take on magical quests that can change with the roll of the dice, comes to 826NYC! Adventurers in grades 9-12 play out an entirely original tale week by week, and chronicle their fantastical deeds in character point-of-view journals, histories, and scene writing. Members of this writerly party will craft a narrative that will be published in the form of a collaborative novel in June. Join us to play your part and write your chapter!
