School TTRPG Clubs and Finding Your Table

We get to try out new podcasting tech as we have a special guest today calling in remotely. Coel Scheel joins us to talk about his experience with gaming clubs in school. For him, it was a good opportunity to meet more of his fellow gamers and bond over some of the geekier parts of life. He talks about how these high school clubs give kids the opportunity to be a part of the gaming community and access to D&D Beyond, including all of the sourcebooks, minis, character sheets, dice, and more. With 50 kids, this was a big undertaking for those teachers who shared their time. Coel shares that this gave folks the chance to play without the pressure to buy all the stuff. When we return from break, we're joined by Chase Krise to share a lot of the same sentiments that Coel shared. He had a good time playing in his school club and also met fellow gamers. His club was a bit smaller than Coel’s, and unfortunately, Chase played with kids who didn’t seem to get the spirit of the game. He got to play with peers but did not find his table during at that club. Fortunately, he did not let this drive him away from the hobby and he was able to find his table later on. Both of them share the same sentiment that this was good for building their community. Also, we figure out that Tori needs to stop eating gummy bears on mic; she apologizes.
