School Principal Tries To Break Up Dungeons And Dragons Club, It Backfires In The Most Wholesome Way

It’s not uncommon to hear someone dismiss things they’re unfamiliar with as pointless and stupid, implying that those who enjoy it are pretending. That’s exactly what happened in the case of this Redditor who started a Dungeons and Dragons club.

At an international school, a staff member runs a Dungeons And Dragons Club for kids aged 8-12, which has been super helpful for those who are quiet or on the spectrum. But there’s this one deputy head (DH) who thinks sports are the only thing that matters, and during one session, he tries to get the non-players to join him in a game, but it backfires in the most wholesome way.

Here’s how it all went down:

A school employee runs a DnD club for 8-12-year-old students in an international school, as a means to help some of the quiet and autistic students.

The club is well-supported by the school except for one deputy head (DH), who believes sport is the answer to everything and that the club is a waste of time.

During one session, the DH visits the building and tries to convince the non-players to join him in playing sports, while the students continue playing DnD.

As the session progresses, three kids who were watching decide to join in and the DH continues to question the point of the game.

But is met with insightful and humorous responses from one of the players.

The club has proven to be beneficial for students on the spectrum.

One student who is normally quiet is now speaking to the group, albeit only as their character.

The DH eventually leaves in disbelief, but later returns to take a photo of the group and puts it in the school paper.

The children on the spectrum have become well-versed in all the rules of the game, with the staff member having to clarify that their game world differs from the player’s handbook.
