About RPG Adventure
RPG Adventure is an application-based opportunity open to incoming first-year students of all majors and academic interests. Roleplayers of all experience levels are welcome to apply. This learning community is designed to support creativity, connection, and self-reflection during the transition to UF and the Honors Program.
This year-long academic and experiential-based program provides incoming honors students with a creative and collaborative space to explore storytelling, writing, and improvisation. First-year students selected for this opportunity work with faculty and student leaders to participate in roleplay campaigns based on Dungeons & Dragons. As students grow during their first year of college, so will their characters grow during the campaign – and we’ll reflect on that growth during our time together in RPG Adventure.
Invited students must commit to the required Fall and Spring activities outlined below. Optional field trips, retreats, and social gatherings offer additional opportunities to build meaningful connections with each other.
