Upcoming Young League of Writers in October

Would you like to share your writing with other teens your age or just make new friends?

Join the Young League of Writers for ages 12-17. We will meet for an hour to share what we’ve all been working on and talk about what makes writing great.

This month we will perfect our plots with Brandon Sanderson! View his SECOND Youtube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrIogch5DBU. Then join us for a game and to share what you have been writing.

Get a Zoom invitation here.

Teen Dungeons and Dragons

Teen Dungeons and Dragons on Wednesday, Sept 23 at 4pm!

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 17). Both beginners and experienced players are welcome. Monthly sessions will occur on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

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.

Sign up below or, if you already have, RSVP with William for this coming session.
