LOCATION: In the High Five Books studio Join us for even more four-week campaigns in these D&D 5e homebrew stories, offered all fall! Players will focus on stretching their roleplay muscles through collaborative storytelling, combat, and puzzle solving as they journey together. No prior D&D experience is needed, one need only answer the call to adventure to play! INSTRUCTOR BIOS Juli (they/them) has spent over half their lifetime avidly enjoying and playing tabletop games. Since 2008, when they picked up their first set of polyhedral dice, they have rolled with countless groups both in-person and virtually! Juli has honed their story telling skills over the years with players of different roleplay styles, ages, interests, experience, and game systems. They are always ready for another adventure, whether in a high fantasy realm, a setting flung far into the future, or any alternate universe. Juli has worked as a non-profit professional for years, facilitating spaces for young minds to explore and learn about their world actively through play. Juli is pursuing a psychology degree with the aim of uniting the unique social-emotional learning opportunities roleplaying games offer with their drive to educate, inspire, and cultivate a love for storytelling and togetherness within their community. When Juli isn't busy building heaps of lore, assailing players with monsters and riddles, or studying esoteric arcane texts, they'll most likely be playing video games with their spouse and kid, napping with their cats, or curating yet another ambient adventuring music playlist for their next session! Coates (they/them) is a tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) enthusiast, educator, and lover of strange critters. They’ve taught mixed-genre creative writing, TTRPG collaborative writing, metalsmithing, digital fabrication, and art writing between Umass, Juniper Young Writers, and Launchspace and have run previous D&D sessions at High Five through Masters of Adventure. When not teaching, you can find Coates playing D&D, reading, scampering in swamps, making weird art, and hanging out with their partner and cat!
