High School Chat and Play Orientation

Come and play Enshrouded in a group while we chat on Zoom.

The High School Chat and Play club will meet weekly on Zoom to play Enshrouded, a collaborative video game. This session is an introduction to the club and is required for anyone wishing to participate. We will explain the game and our expectations as the leaders. To join this club, you will need a Steam account, and you will add the club mentors (Lori and Michael) as friends. This helps us keep our server secure. If interested, please sign up and join us! Requires a signed parental waiver.

Michael Bender Learn more about me

Hi, my name is Michael. My pronouns are they/them, and I have always been a game enthusiast. I have a Masters in Education and School Counseling and have been a DM since 1982 when I found a D&D box at a garage sale. I have enjoyed guiding heroes through dungeons, caves, forest and over the seas ever since. I built my first computer in 1983 when we used floppy disks to boot up. The games computers and consoles have developed over the past 40 years are amazing, and I love how games help us tell stories. Like D&D, I get to play a hero (or villain) and participate in adventures. I love how games can help build community and connections between players. We experience this in the Chat and Play Clubs and in the D&D Campaigns. I look forward to our adventures together!

My first Dungeons and Dragons game lasted 22 straight hours. Don't worry, we will keep our sessions to 2 hours each 🙂
