Whether you are a veteran RPG player or completely new to the genre, join us for an invigorating session of Dungeons and Dragons (5th edition)! D&D is a rule-based roleplaying game in which players assume identities and embark on quests in fantasy environments. Everything from discovering long lost underwater cities to hijacking pirate ships to uncovering ancient tombs to negotiating peace treatises between sovereign nations. It's basically make-believe for adults. We'll be running two sessions during this class -- one tailored towards new players and another for more experienced players.

What is a model and science? At what points do scientific and model thinking converge and diverge? Does science truly provide explanations of the world? This class will cover these questions while focusing on describing, comparing, and analyzing the respective strengths and weaknesses of science and models. This course will introduce some philosophy of science ideas such as Scientific Underdeterminism, the meaning of scientific explanation, and how science changes. Through exposure to these topics, you will be able to see the role models have in science and be able to evaluate both science and the current system in society for scientific research.

Have you ever been interested in Dungeon & Dragons or other tabletop RPG's but not gotten the chance to try? Love tabletop RPG games and would like to learn more systems? Well come join for a session of Savage Worlds, a genre-generic tabletop RPG system. I will teach everything needed to play so no prior knowledge is required. I will send out a google poll when schedules are selected so you can have a say in the genre you want to play.
