Dungeons and Dragons: some see it as a game for nerds while others see it as a space for world building and creativity. For social studies teacher Matt Dorman, however, it’s a game of useful life lessons. 

“The cooperative element and the teamwork side is important,” said Dorman. “There’s no winning and losing except for as a group.”

Dorman loves to teach this hobby to students.

“I do the Dungeons and Dragons club after school. It might be fun to do that during the day, but I’m not really sure that qualifies as a class,” said Dorman. The club meets every other Monday after school from 3 to 5 in E108. There are three campaigns with different stories and members. There is something for everyone. 

“It’s just kind of a fun game for you to play with your peers or your friends,” said Dorman describing the game. “An interactive game: it’s like a video game in a lot of ways, but a lot more open ended in the decisions you could make and the things you could do.”
