Description: Identity exploration can be exciting and an overwhelming journey for some.

Dungeons & Dragons allows you to be whatever and whoever, you can be a Bisexual Half-Elf, a Lesbian Orc, or a Queer Capybara! Join our judgment-free and community-focused workshop to learn more about making your own character, the benefits of playing DnD, and how it can help you with your own identity adventure!
