Dungeons & Dragons is a tabletop roleplaying game where you can fully immerse yourself as a character of your own making and explore an endless expanse of creative possibilities! Us creative-folk are exceptionally adept at D&D and they donât even know it yet!
I believe that D&D exists at the apex of creativity, collaboration, storytelling, and being social. Itâs a collaborative game where you can tell amazing stories, have unforgettable moments, and solve problems in ways you never thought possible. Everyone has a role, everyone has a job to do, and all are working together toward a common goal. The deeper I went into D&D, the more similarities I found between playing this game and the creative world, not to mention many avenues to express myself creatively in. Years later, with epic D&D-deeds under my belt, I realized that I wanted to share this feeling (the âhigh,â really) with as many people as possible.
And so Iâd love to teach you what itâs all about and how to play so that you can experience it for yourself! I will be focusing on 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons (the latest edition). All levels of experience are welcome whether youâve never rolled a dice before or if you were a Warlock in a past life in need of a refresher.
There will be a fun, illustrated handout to finish up the FieldTrip.

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.
Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.
Wear your beginnerâs hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going!Â
Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings communityâjust like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgroundsâa lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.
Weâre all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things. Try âYes! AndâŠâ in conversation.
Itâs 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
