For this activity, we will share our stories for the summer teen writer's contest AND take a funny cartoon, reimagine it as a horror scene, romance, sci-fi adventure, or an epic fantasy. It's a genre flip!

Bring your handwork, knitting, crocheting, cross-stitch, or whatever it is you do for an informal evening of crafting and adult comradery.

In this classic role-playing game, you create your character, choose how they interact with the story, and use dice to decide the outcomes of your actions.

This event is open to all teens (ages 12 to 18). Both beginners and experienced players are welcome. Bi-monthly sessions will occur; check calendar for scheduled dates.

The game will consist of one, 1 to 2 hour session for first level characters (opportunities to level up are provided between sessions). Experienced players may use their own character if they wish, but pre-made characters will also be available. All characters should be made using only the resources available in the core 5th Edition player’s handbook.
