Our Dungeon Masters are way ahead of the standard hobbyist in terms of game knowledge and storytelling ability. Each touts considerable experience in childcare and the Dungeons & Dragons role playing game. Not only are our staff experts on how to create an epic adventure; they are just as passionate about creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for their students. For maximum security, all of our staff have been cleared via a background check.

I have two kids who have done NYSOP Dungeons and Dragons (and sometimes Minecraft during camp days). This is an amazing group! They are fantastic dungeon masters, and great with the kids. My son can't wait for his Thu evening DnD session. It is completely the highlight of his week.

My 9 year old daughter loves playing D&D in this group. She's excited to tell me about monsters they're defeating and the treasures her party is acquiring. Last game she was overjoyed to find a wand of polymorph. This is a great activity she looks forward to each week.

We use Minecraft Java edition. Our servers are not compatible with Bedrock editions of Minecraft. If you do not own Minecraft Java edition, we can lend an account to use during the workshop at no extra charge. -
I tried to enroll my son in this class but the plaftotm did not allow it due to his age (he is 6.5 years old). Is it possible to open registrations to children from 6 years of age? This way he could participate. (Nationwide Minecraft HEROES) -

Minecraft Heroes requires some reading, typing, and spelling proficiency that can be frustrating for many younger players. Please reach out to us at info@nyplays.org if you believe your child has the necessary skillset to participate. -

Students who sign up for our classes gain access to one of NYSoP's Minecraft accounts for the duration of the class. However, a computer that is able to install and run Minecraft is required.

Can kids bring there own D&D characters or are they allowed to play the pre-rolled characters? (Dungeons & Dragons)
asked on Aug 17, 2021
Sep 10, 2021 - Ellen Cooper
Students create a new character when they join NYSoP, which is entered into our character database and updated in real-time via google docs. In the interest of fairness and balance, students are not allowed to play characters they have created on their own or from other programs. -
