Find Your Voice: Shared Storytelling Through TRPGs

Come spin a tale with us—and discover your voice along the way.

This interactive event uses tabletop role-playing games (TRPGs) to help you think on your feet, build confidence, and expand your vocabulary through fun, collaborative storytelling. 

We’ll be playing Dread, a suspenseful TRPG where the tension rises with every move. 

The rules? As simple as pulling a block from a Jenga tower.

No experience needed. Whether you’re new to roleplaying or just curious, you’re welcome to jump in.

Open to all members of the Douglas College community.
No registration required—just show up and play.
