Dungeons and Dragons

Ages 12-18

Ever wanted to try your hand at being a brave adventurer fighting to survive in a world beset by evil and magic? Perhaps you’d like to be a nimble rogue, stealing gold and disarming the deadliest of traps, or a noble Paladin fighting for a worthy cause. Or a powerful sorceress blessed with magic by the hint of dragon blood in her veins, a wise cleric of gods benevolent or malign, or any of countless other heroes. The only limit is your imagination! Held on the second Wednesday of each month.
