Description

Fantasy roleplaying

Roleplay can be a very difficult hobby, especially for young folks. It requires many challenging skills, such as improv, storytelling, reading and writing, teamwork, and game theory. That's why I wrote Widdershins--a game system that cuts back on the burden for kids and lets their creativity shine. A standard class will see groups of kids listening and talking with a guide to collaboratively tell a story about heroes, shadow monsters, and faeries. CHEC has offered classes for D&D many times in the past, and Widdershins is a great stepping stone for kids who want to play D&D or any other roleplaying system. Roleplaying is one of the most rewarding hobbies out there, and I hope you're as excited about it as I am.

Basic reading and writing skills helpful.

 

Instructor: Merlin King

Instructor: Teela James

I love learning about new things and finding connections between diverse topics. This tendency has lead to a rather wandering career path that has included programming, technical training, writing short stories, designing parks, teaching, and guiding wilderness camping trips. I am currently able to share my enthusiasm for these topics with my two custom educated children. I feel that my role as an instructor involves engaging students by presenting fun material and then supporting them in delving into the parts they find fascinating. Students with learning differences are welcome in my classes and I enjoy working with them to find effective accommodations. I have a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Saskatchewan and a MLA from the University of Georgia.
