Gaming Club
Tabletop Gaming Club
This club provides an outlet for students that have interests beyond sports to have a safe space to fit in. Gaming Club is primarily focused around playing Dungeons and Dragons. During each session, the Dungeon Master (Roumi) leads the group in a campaign where students are expected to use their own custom built character and imaginations to navigate through the adventures being described. This gives students a chance to use their problem solving skills, discuss strategies, and most of all - embrace their creativity and imaginations. Any students that are not involved in the campaign have the option to play other tabletop games available to them.

A week prior to the first informational session at the beginning of the school year, an announcement is made to remind students to stop into either Roumi or Honn's classroom to let them know they are interested in signing up. Then they can come to the first session that is shorter and acts as an informational session where students can find out more about TGC and ask questions. First official session is the following week (character building session).
