Welcome, adventurers!
The Middle School Adventurer's League is a place for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to get together and play "the world's greatest roleplaying game," Dungeons & Dragons.
WHAT IS DUNGEONS & DRAGONS?
In Dungeons & Dragons, the players form an adventuring party who explore fantasy worlds together, embark on epic quests, and level up. The Dungeon Master (also known as the DM) is the game's referee and lead storyteller.
The collective creativity in your D&D game builds stories that you’ll tell again and again—ranging from the stuff of legend to absurd incidents that’ll make you laugh.
HOW DO YOU PLAY DUNGEONS & DRAGONS?
At its heart, D&D is a storytelling game. Everything is your decision, from what you look like, to what you say, to how you act. The dice just help you along.
In D&D, each player creates a heroic character to represent them in the game. They might be a skilled fighter, a devout cleric, a deadly rogue, a spellcasting wizard, or something else entirely!
Together, the Dungeon Master and players create an exciting story where their bold adventurers confront deadly perils. Both the DM and players use dice throughout the game to determine the outcome of certain actions.
The first step is deciding what kind of character you want to play. First you'll need to choose a Species (or Race, as it was called in earlier editions of the game) and a Class. Below, you will find links to descriptions/guides for each of the Species and Classes available to play.

Once you have chosen your species and class, you can go to dndbeyond.com and create a free account using your Parker email address (and get permission from your parents, too, of course). At that point, you can come to one of our Friday afterschool meetings and we'll help you get all the details of your character set up!
Once you have your character, you can learn all the rules while you play. Just in case, though, here is a handy Cheat Sheet for the basic rules you'll need to know.
