This course is an introduction to the art of writing game modules for tabletop roleplaying games, primarily focusing on the 5th edition of Dungeons & Dragons. Over the course of six weeks, we will read a number of pre-written adventure modules, learn to think critically about the design of adventures, and learn the principles of storytelling that make for fun gameplay. The course will culminate in each student writing their own adventure, which we'll discuss in class as well. *N.B. This class involves a time commitment of about 2 hours a week outside of class time, as students are expected to complete assigned reading in the first four weeks and write their own adventure at the end of the course.
