All skill levels and experience are welcome at this D&D Club designed for and run by middle school students. Registration is recommended.

Join us for a new program designed specifically for middle school students. All skill and experience levels are welcome at these events if you bring the excitement and energy.

There will be two meetings every month. One session a month will be playing the game with peers and one session will be a learning and information session to learn more about the game and to become better players and DMs (Dungeon Masters).

Registration is not required but is strongly recommended so that we can anticipate an accurate number of attendees and plan accordingly.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: The format of this club will NOT be long-form storytelling and adventures. This is more of an introduction to Dungeons and Dragons, both for players and student DMs, and will feature one-shot-style, mini-adventure encounters that fit the 90-minute timeframe. If you meet other like-minded adventurers during this club, you may want to gather on your own for more in-depth adventures outside of these specific club times.

FOR EXPERIENCED D&D PLAYERS: We will be using third-level characters. You may build and bring your own character provided it is using the rules found in any of the official 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons books. (We will not be using the 2024 rules for this program.)

If your teen needs special accommodations for this program to be successful, please let us know by calling Teen Librarian, Zach Reynolds, at 317.814.3961 or by emailing zreynolds@carmelclaylibrary.org.
