Summer Camp Counselor - Tumblr Posts

I work at a STEM camp, and, first day, had this super shy girl in my group that was sitting alone. At the end of that first day, she noticed my dnd pin and instantly came out of her shell.

She hadn’t ever played actual DnD, cause she doesn’t have a set of dice, so her and her friend made their own game of D6s called “Stairwells and Serpents” (I’m still not over how cute and clever that is) that’s actually SUPER fleshed out. She has a little handwritten rule binder, and they have their own stats (IQ, strength, speed, etc.), classes (healer, warrior, thief, etc.), all with their own rules and characteristics. There’s fight mechanics, you get loot based on rolls. She showed me her character, told me the stories, but no one has ever played it except her and her friend.

Looked over today during lunch to see her surrounded by her own little circle of middle schoolers and dice and loose leaf paper as she laid out a scene for them. I would be a massive liar if I said I didn’t want to tear up at all.
