Seasoned players; Dungeon Masters; and newbies can join this honorific quest for knowledge. Adventurers in this course will read not-so-ancient scrolls on topics related to the literary roots of Dungeons & Dragons; the societal impact of the game; the “backlash” from parent and religious groups; racism; sexism; the role of magic in society; role-playing and identity; morality; and why no one really likes kobolds. Join weekly quiz-quests for experience points (i.e.; grades); play a bit; and create a character sheet based on your analysis of a well-known persona for the final.
