Now that was a new one for me!

I know that D&D has been getting all sorts of wide spread acceptance but, this was a new experience for me. I teach online English classes to Chinese students in China. Mostly kids from elementary up to high school age. Today I had a new student.

She announced that she was tired because she had just come back from her "camp". It's holiday time in China right now, so, the kids are doing all sorts of camps - English, Math, horseback riding, the typical stuff. At her camp, she spent the week playing Dungeons and Dragons. In Chinese. It wasn't an English camp at all. The kids went to this camp (think summer camp) specifically to play D&D.

:wow:

The young lady's English was fantastic - she goes to an international school, so, I just assumed it was a English language camp thing. Nope. The camp was for playing D&D.

She played a half-elf sorcerer.

Just... wow.

You can tell the kids that learnt English playing DnD when they start talking about the encumbrance of their backpack.

Sounds like fun!

Back in the 80s boyscout camp was just us playing D&D any chance we got. Sure occasionally we went swimming or shot .22s but mostly D&D.
