This year I have decided to open a D&D club in the library even if I have no clue what am I doing! I’m a beginner player, never DM…and still don’t get most of the rules ^^
Well despite this very unreliable experience, I just decided to pick a date and time and promoted it during the library inductions for S1, because why not! Fool of me! A COHORT of excited pupils has answered the call (thank you Stranger things!)
So I found players (too many –“) now I just had to figure out how to DM, in like a week. I was doomed…But my lucky star decided to send me on my path, some help. A member of the staff offered her help to DM!! And another one gave me 20 dice or so for FREE along with some free D&D books!
(Yes I have a pretty amazing lucky star and no I will not exchange her for anything. Lucky stars are individual and meant to be cherished.)
I was finally ready to launch the first D&D club in St Mungo’s!
And because lucky star magic is never too much, she sent me a pupil who wanted to DM!! I have now two D&D groups in the library: one DM by a pupil and another one conducted by a member of the staff and myself for beginners.
Every Friday at lunch, I close the library for epic and fun adventures created by pupils.
In the meantime, I try to learn on my own and take every piece of advice from librarian colleagues and players:
Last Friday, I participated to "Starting D&D in your library" webinar by @lucasjmaxwell just to pretend I know what am I doing 😅#dnd #library #club pic.twitter.com/T0dL31g1j2
