Library to host D&D

by | Feb 11, 2021 | Latest

Sachse Library patrons will soon be able to enter the virtual world of Dungeons and Dragons.

Library Manager Daniel Laney announced his plans to start virtual Dungeons and Dragons for library patrons af­ter reading an article in Amer­ican Libraries, a trade journal.

The library manager said the article stated that the game is easy to learn and play online, and several libraries nationwide are hosting virtual sessions. He sees the game, known as D&D or DnD, as a replacement for the board night the library host­ed before the COVID-19 pan­demic.

After speaking with multiple libraries, both in the area and nationwide currently offering virtual gaming, Laney decided it would be best to host the ses­sion on Zoom. He says he will also utilize tools and resources from the website dndbeyond. com, which can help new play­ers with character creation and help him manage the games. He also contacted Wizards of the Coast, the publisher for Dun­geons and Dragons, who said they are proud to support li­brary and school D&D groups. The publisher donated digital copies of all published Dun­geons and Dragons 5th Edition sourcebook.
