This class will show you how to play the other half: how to manipulate your opponents to your advantage, laying complex plans and experiencing glorious moments as a Dungeon Master, the leader of your own game. But that can only happen if there is a game to play. This class will also teach tactics for how to navigate the social and out-of-game part of leading a D&D group, including scheduling, pitching your game to players, set up, conflict resolution, and more leadership skills.This class is for D&D players who already understand how to play and want to learn to plan and lead their own games, or for players who have already been DM-ing and want to learn more about how they can take their games to the next level. This class requires at least one year of play experience, and though not required, it is recommended to have played at least one game outside of my classes.
