Dungeons and Dragons
The SUUSI gaming community has collaboratively created the world of WUURTH, a typical fantasy land with one important difference. About a decade ago, the various peoples and races in WUURTH came together and crafted a charter. The Charter of WUURTH grants full and equal rights to all who have signed it. Each group that has signed it has been granted a representative on the Council of WUURTH, the ruling council of the land. Because of this charter, the realm of WUURTH is much more diverse than most others in the surrounding lands. The city of WUURTH is large and sprawling with a grand central public square. In the middle of that square is a magical fountain that sprays high into the air (sound familiar?).
Each year’s adventures in WUURTH shape the world and provide inspiration for the following year’s settings, so it’s fun to come back year after year. But it’s always a good time to join and step into our world of dragons and kobolds and gnomes and enchanted armor. If you’re interested in helping to craft or lead this programming, email games@suusi.org.

Registration Details - 3028: Easy Role-Playing GamesLimit 12
D&D is not the only tabletop RPG out there, just the most well known. By starting with a simple one-page game, learning the basics of role playing and dice rolling is much easier. There are tons of games out there that don't involve swinging swords and casting spells. We’ll play a fun game set on a starship: Lasers & Feelings, and a quick game as conniving bears: Honey Heist. Participants will get to create a persona and play in a game right away. These games require very little in the way of numbers and rules, so there's a minimun of explaining and a maximum of fun time.
Registration Details - 3029: D&D for BeginnersLimit 12
Many people have heard of Dungeons & Dragons but never had the chance to play. D&D's 5th edition is the most successful fantasy role-playing game yet. Would you like to pretend to be an elf or a wizard who fights monsters? Would you like to steal an evil artifact and destroy it (or be tempted to use its power for yourself)? Are you interested but intimidated by all the dice and statistics? It’s a complicated game, but we’ll break it down into simple pieces and play a fun adventure as we learn the basics of how it works. All you need to bring is your imagination. Participants will be introduced to the various statistics that make up a character, from attributes to skills to armor class. But the numbers are always connected to the imagination, and as we fill in the details, we'll use those numbers to make choices in our adventuring. We'll explore a cave, fight monsters, try to avoid traps, etc. We'll also learn tips on where to find a game if you get hooked and want to keep playing.
