If you’ve ever wished to play a board game with friends and really get into it, then I have a perfect suggestion for you! At Johnson County Community College, the Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Club is the perfect place for students to come together, have fun, and create exciting adventures. Whether you’re a pro or someone who’s never played before, the club is open to all skill levels and offers a friendly, laid-back environment to enjoy the game.

The D&D Club at JCCC isn’t just about rolling dice—it’s about building friendships and creating stories. The club meets every Monday from 5:15 p.m to 7 p.m. in COM 155. It’s a space for students to meet up, play D&D, and enjoy the fun of being part of a group that shares a love for fantasy and storytelling. 

“The club is really where people are able to make new friends and be themselves,”  Sarah Moratte, one of the club members, said. “Whether you’re new or someone who’s been playing the game for years, I’d say everyone’s welcome. It’s a great way to try something new and meet people.”

If you’ve never played D&D before, don’t worry. The club hosts events where beginners can jump in and learn the game in a fun, relaxed setting. You don’t need to know all the rules to get started—just come and have a good time. But the fun doesn’t stop there. The club also runs campaigns where members dive into different worlds, build characters, and go on wild adventures. It’s a chance to get creative and share in the storytelling with others. This is really more than just a game. The D&D Club isn’t just about playing; it’s also about building skills and making lasting friendships. 

Playing D&D helps students learn how to work as a team, solve problems together, and think creatively. It’s also a great way to meet new people and connect with others who share your interests. 

“I’ve made so many friends through the club,” One D&D member said. “It’s awesome to find people who are into the same things and just have fun together.”

Joining the D&D Club at JCCC is easy. Just visit the Center for Student Involvement in GEB 117 to learn more about the club and other student organizations on campus. You can also use the Get Involved @ JCCC platform to sign up, stay updated on events, and contact club leaders.

And at the end of the day, just show up to an event on any Monday from 5:15 p.m. to 7 p.m. in COM 155. 

Sometimes the best way to learn is to throw yourself in headfirst. The club is all about enjoying the game, making new friends, and stepping into a world full of adventure. So, if you’re a JCCC student and curious about D&D, the club is the perfect place to start your journey. Come roll the dice and join the fun!
