I have to justify the existence of our D&D club to my district's board of education. What should I tell them?

Ditto

What if I reuse the bag clip but then toss it in the freezer since I'm not sure I'll use it all before it goes bad?

You have to remember that this is a high school club, I don't have the time or the patience to teach anything more complex

Add in some bullshit about creative thinking as well. Opening minds and such

It's a storytelling / improv-acting activity. Like board games, it encourages trust and teamwork, but there's a particular emphasis on creative problem solving and on expressing yourself.

*well, except that one screen.

Tell them that the kids can't spend money on drugs if they've already spent it all on minis and rulebooks.

Whoops, I forgot the part where it doesn't use wifi, controllers, or screens*.

Honestly this. Couldn't have put it better myself.

>Underaged on Veeky Forums
Unless you're a teacher, regardless I hope you can convince them.

I'm in my senior year, hope to leave this club behind before I leave

don't bother, just put a tear-away on a bulletin board with E-mail addresses on it

Freezing the bread AT ALL is neutral evil.

Buying more bread than you can eat before it goes bad is chaotic neutral or chaotic evil depending on the context of the purchase.

It emphasizes critical thinking in order to succeed, and this is multifaceted:
>the application of mathematics with consideration to numerous factors
>discovering and working around your team's strength and weaknesses
>effective group communication when dealing with challenges
>general problem solving

I honestly don't see why you needed to come to Veeky Forums for this, maybe my above points are wrong and D&D doesn't actually teach anyone anything.

>Justify

What the actual fuck? My highschool has a fucking anime club where those faggots watched naruto and played grab ass. If my highschool let that shit happen, then a “DnD” club should sail smoothly. Honestly, the only requirement for a club was a chaperone last I checked, and you’re already there. What country/state are you even in?

"Well, if you don't like this we can go with our gun club idea."

This is in NY, I also want to get funding so I don't have to pay out the ass for a club set of books

You have to go on an atonement thaw to get your powers back.

I just wanted to know if there was anything I hadn't thought of

The store only sells one bread I'm allowed to eat and they're sold out of it half the time. So I buy it when I see it.

>Also it keeps them off of drugs
Yes definitely pitch this, even though I've known more druggie roleplayers than any other flavor of nerd. Must be something about expanding the imagination and/or seeking new experiences...

Not all systems are as complex as the clusterfuck that is D&D

Tell them it's for special needs

You’ve must have surely played dnd before to have even liked the game enough to start a club. So I’m guessing you have the phb and or dmg.The books cost between 40-50, and if that is beyond your means (high schooler) than you can always get the PDFs at /5eg/.

Are clubs required to be vetted so they can exist, or is vetting only for getting funds?

I have neither of the books when playing I normally just use the PDF's. While that isn't beyond my means, I'd rather not pay out of pocket if the school can give me the money. Ideally I'd want to have multiples of all the books so that multiple players could make characters or dispute rules at the same time, there are other costs as well such as sets of dice, screens, and maps.

The club has been running unofficially until now, so this is to validate it's existence as well as determine how much money should go into our club fund

I getcha. There's definitely a lot I didn't think of when I made that post, such as managing money/supplies with your sporadic income, since you're a murderous vagabond doing odd jobs as you travel.

The important thing is to have an example or two ready to go for each of your bullet points which can be understood by normies if they ask for clarification.

I live alone, so my choices are
>eat a whole fucking loaf of bread by myself before it spoils
or
>maintain a healthy diet while minimizing food waste by freezing what I can't reasonably eat in time
or
>never purchase bread again

I see. Well my school that had the weebs didn’t have any rpg club. So for that I wish you luck user. Other anons gave you good advice already, so the only thing left to say is give us an update when the smoke blows over.

What alignment is tying a slip-knot?

>it teaches math
That's a stretch.

The meeting is on Monday, so I'll see if the thread is still up by then

This is a link to all of the things I plan on saying
docs.google.com/document/d/1tLvxOZCC6HGajYlDVGLYOJxcupOHaigREluivHjNkOY/edit?usp=sharing

Just buy a single loaf at a time and purchase more as needed. Bread doesn't exactly last that long and freezing it ruins it.

What's wrong with freezing bread?
I don't eat bread every day, but I like to have some available

>That's a stretch.
Doesn't matter if it's a stretch as long as it's plausible to a bunch of people who probably have only a vague idea about the game. And it certainly could be used for at least probability, addition, and subtraction.

all but TN and NE get moldy
CE goes stale

gg

ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

group planning and plan execution. teaches cooperation and critical thinking.

It's a math club but you pretend to be wizards and knights while you do math.

It can mess with the taste of the bread compared to fresh baked or left aired, but it's not that bad.

Depends a lot on the bread. I wouldn't freeze a freshly baked baguette of course.

"we acting and mathing"

>just how Descartes proved that something can't exist without thinking it does
THAT'S NOT WHAT HE SAID AT ALL
Most disgusting part of the whole story

bread makes you fat anyway,

If I'm making a cheese toastie, perfect tasting bread does not matter

I'm sure if you have access to Jstor or just using Google Scholar you could find enough academic articles to make a case and impress the board.

>tfw NE
I knew it wasnt the other degenerate shit I was doing was the root cause, thanks user!

>bagging bread
Real sourdough never molds. If you dry it out real good in the oven (you'll lather butter so w/e) it will never go stale either.

Buy more expensive bread that comes in smaller loaves/boules.

>my district
if you don't know how to do this already i doubt you're actually working in education

tell them you worship satan

RPG's can be very helpful to individuals on the autistic spectrum, particularly those that are HFA/Asperger's, as they provide a structured social interaction where they can learn and practice social skills in a manner similar to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, but without the added stress of it being "therapy sessions".

t. aspie that learnt to fake being human by playing them in RPG's!

It builds communication skills, creative thinking ability and logical reasoning ability.

Social skills, acting, reading comprehension, potential debates, creative thinking, community-building/sense of community, etc.

Throw in trannies for good measure if it's somewhere that sucks up to trannies but ignores spergs.

Social interaction for autists

How do they justify their meddling in it tho?

I mean, there are numerous articles dedicated to how D&D is beneficial to youth and aids in all sorts of things, and there are even charities that actively engage in D&D in order to benefit troubled youths

So, 5 seconds in google?

Use Scandinavian/German black bread, this stuff remain fresh longer than Lembas and will not turn you into a homoerotic hobbit

>more complex
You can teach them about 50% of !D&D systems all at once and have it be less complex than D&D.
But on topic, bullshit about math, language skills, confidence, team work, etc.

>black bread
Black bread, a strong cheese, and some good salami or cured meat is the food of champions

According to this chart I'm lawful evil, but, like, is it that hard opening the knot?

It’s cheap plastic packaged by a company trying to cut costs most of the time. Unless you tie the knot loose enough to be undone simply, (which defeats the purpose of tying it) or you tie it pass the point where you’re better off ripping the plastic like a savage to get your bread. Honestly user, there is no winning, and you should invest in a bread jar.

Good to finally confirm that my flatmate is chaotic evil.

Unless they're funding you, why would you? And why the fuck would they need to fund a D&D club?

Aww shit, son. Where are you, down in the city, out in the west, up near Canada?

That you're a satanist who likes harems and wishes to explore gunpowder and firearms.
There, that'll shut them up for a bit.

Schools not only exist for education but to also acclimate people to society. DnD and roleplaying in general is very social, and teaches cooperation and bonding to people who might typically be antisocial. It inspires creative storytelling, critical thinking, draws upon basic math skills, and more.

Keeps dorky losers from becoming socially isolated and shooting up the school

Probably your definition of 'druggie' is Quentin-tier

Socialisation, give kinds with social dysfunction or shyness a chance to interact with other human beings. Pitch some BS about keeping kinds social instead of playing video games.

Math, problem solving, creative writing/thinking.

Team building exercise is another good pitch.

Also why is the Board looking to shut you down? What faggotry is this?

Don't hate on Keto, it turned me and my gaming group from skinnyfat central into fi/tg/guys and gals.

Because they have to pay the teacher a stipend for running the club so they wanna make sure it's worth it

Money isn't cheap youguys.

Near Canada, always cold as shit

What are you spending it on?

we don't get the money, it's just added to her check. She probably spends it on food and utilities

Also practicing narrative and argumentative writing in a verbal setting, with an emphasis on the differences of the medium.
