Heard of Dungeons & Dragons, but not sure how to play? Join the Idea Studio at the Fond du Lac Public Library on Monday, April 25 at 6 p.m. for “Let’s Talk D&D” with Andy Mueller.

Mueller will introduce guests to the concept of tabletop role-playing games, why you might be interested in playing one, how to play, and where you can get involved in playing one. He will walk guests through the specifics of playing D&D, ranging group dynamics to game mechanics and more. The presenter for this program, Mueller, is an avid gamer (both PC and tabletop) with extensive experience on stage and years of experience playing Dungeons and Dragons.
