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.

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. -
My son would like to learn how to play Minecraft but he doesn't have the video game. Is there a free version that I can get for him so he can join this meeting?

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.

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. -
