🏫 What is D&D Academy?
D&D Academy is an original idea conceived by DM's Quill and Piper in 2022, with humble origins in Abilene, Texas and making its international debut in the UK in Wiltshire in 2025. At its simplest, it is a 3-4 hour session designed to help both Players and Dungeon Masters expand their knowledge and improve their game. Each session will blend:
🧠A Learning Class – Key mechanics and concepts explained clearly in a simple accessible presentation.
💬A Discussion Workshop – Share insights, ask questions, and exchange ideas, regardless of experience level.
🎭Scenario-Based Play – Engage in short roleplaying scenes or explore decision-making as different character types.
🎓Each session will explore something different. Examples of Session Topics include:
🤹🏼How to Play Your Best Bard
🧝🏽Pros & Cons of Being Elven
🎒Making the Most of Your Item Inventory
…and much more!
⚔️Who is it for?
Now hosted by Quill, and inviting all TTRPG enthusiasts, from experienced players and DM's, to complete newcomers who are looking to take those first steps in the wonderful world of roleplaying in any form or function!
