Dwarven Forge D&D Game

The game that changed games: Dungeons and Dragons was created around 1972 and from humble beginnings, it took the world by storm! Experience points, levels, characters(avatars) group dynamics, storytelling, imaginations gone wild...many of the multi-million dollar video games so popular today owe their origins to that game which started as a few hundred box sets packaged together in the basement of a shoe cobbler and insurance underwriter named Gary Gygax. Although D&D is now in its 5th edition (or version) I shall guide you through its original incarnation, the FIRST edition as you will.

May good fortune follow your dice rolls, and may you have the insight and cleverness to survive. Bring your imagination and let’s have some fun!

Dungeon Master

Max Lerner is an environmental scientist by trade but additionally a major Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast in his off hours. Through his nearly 2 decades of primary work developing greenspaces, he's had ample experience creating ecosystems, public speaking and teaching groups of all ages and backgrounds. He also began his hobbyist experience playing D&D over 20 years ago and now contributes to and leads countless games with multiple groups of all backgrounds and experience levels. It's his pleasure to help coordinate D&D fundraisers and has spoken in several conferences on the benefits of socializing through gaming.

In his current capacity as the Executive Director of PLAN (Peer Learning Adventure Network) Gaming, he coordinates creative projects to help demonstrate the impact and enjoyability of such modern therapeutic approaches and warmly welcomes anyone interested in joining this experience. In a modern context, despite the abundance of new social tools, it can be hard frequently to escape the stress of socialization to connect with people on a personable and meaningful level. Max looks forward to any opportunity to share his practice with any communities interested in working together to explore the art and healing of collaborative storytelling.
