Eight members of the Heroes’ Hall Role-playing Game Club at Great Brook School presented a panel at Granite State ComicCon Sept. 19 at the DoubleTree and SNHU Arena in Manchester.
The 45-minute presentation, titled “TTRPGS for Kids, From Teen DMs Who Know!”, featured strategies on running tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons for youth. The panelists – 7th- and 8th-grade peer leaders who run weekly games for fellow students from October through May – discussed topics including game management, player recruitment, character creation, and leadership skills.
Heroes’ Hall is notable for its student participation, typically drawing roughly 20% of the school’s total student body. After the presentation, attendees joined a question-and-answer session covering club diversity, game mechanics, and group coordination.
Granite State ComicCon is the state’s largest pop culture convention, attracting approximately 8,000 attendees annually.
