Service Project Details

Description: In tabletop RPGs, one person serves as the Game Master (or "DM"), the game’s lead storyteller and referee. The GM runs the adventure for the players, who navigate its hazards and decide which paths to explore. The GM describes the locations and creatures in an adventure, and the players decide what they want their characters to do. Then the GM, using imagination and the game's rules, determines the results of their actions and narrates what they experience. Volunteer GMs must be 16 years of age or older and have permission from parent/guardian.

Hours: This event takes place on “Free RPG Day,” June 22, 2024 at ImaginOn: The Joe and Joan Martin Center. As a GM, the volunteer would need to commit to running of one RPG session, which would last from 1 p.m. until 3:20 p.m. at the latest.

Responsibilities:

Lead a D&D program for 5 attendees in one of the following age ranges: school age, preteen, or teen.
Run an engaging program that is rewarding for players and maintains library values. RPGs at the library provides a welcoming experience to all players. As the GM, the volunteer is also responsible for facilitating a session in which all players feel safe to be themselves.
Spend adequate time reading and preparing the story for the session, including characterization of non-player characters (NPCs), map making, and adventure crafting. The volunteer would be able to come to the library for preparation time before the session or may prepare on personal time.
Enact the set-up and take-down of the session, including but not limited to putting away materials, tables, chairs, etc.
Provide materials for the game including but not limited to maps, "DM" screen, and tokens. The Library will provide dice, pencils, and paper
Prepare pre-generated character sheets for players to choose from 
Communicate regularly, efficiently, and directly with library staff with regard to the program's preparation and progress each session

Qualifications: A volunteer GM requires adequate experience as determined by library staff; prior experience playing TTRPGs as a GM is required. Volunteer GMs must be 16 years of age or older and have permission from parent/guardian.
