About the adventure
Creatures of every type live together in a vibrant world inspired by Dinotopia, but they don't always get along! Rather than following a strict script, this campaign puts the steering wheel directly in your young adventurer's hands. Whether they want to track down lost dinosaur eggs, befriend a clever triceratops, or solve a village mystery, the story goes wherever their curiosity leads. Along the way, children learn valuable life skills like teamwork, empathy, and creative problem-solving in a warm, encouraging environment. Perfect for kids who love animals, exploration, and making a real impact on the world around them. Children have the opportunity to play a variety of creatures, whether it be animals, people, or even be the actual dinosaurs!

About me
I am a mom who has initiated fun imaginative play for my kiddo long before my child could play roleplaying games, and I have run D&D games since 2021 for children and adults alike. I first started GMing for mixed age groups in a local game store while at home taught my youngster the basics of cooperative roleplay in a basic format, using the game to teach math throughout my child's elementary years. I believe the focus of D&D and other cooperative roleplaying games should be the aspect of fun and imagination, and always encourage creativity while keeping math and other details at the level of the player. Before GMing, I have a strong background in storytelling. I learned the art of storytelling from my father and grandfather, and focused on the art in college where I took storytelling and acting classes to hone my skills.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a webcam and mic to join Zoom, and a free account on D&D Beyond. Players should create or choose their characters prior to the game. Rules will be taught in game as needed, though reading the rules ahead of time is encouraged.
What Jessica brings to the table
I embrace the "Rule of Cool" - if something is particularly exciting or creative, we'll find a way to let it happen! I voice characters as much as possible and highly encourage role-play.
