Explore D&D&History: The Serum Sleds (Section A)

$90.00

Embark on an epic journey with this campaign, which weaves together history and adventure.

The howling winds and endless snow are more than just a challenge—they're a weapon in the hands of a sinister power that commands the arctic elements. But the true enemy is a silent one, already at Nome's gates: diphtheria, a disease that blocks the throat and makes it impossible to breathe. Without the antitoxin on your sleds, the town's children will be the first to fall, and the epidemic will spread, claiming a generation and leaving a ghost town in its wake. Every minute of this journey is a life hanging in the balance, and this precious cargo, contained in a few small vials, is the only hope of a cure.

Are you ready to face the bitter cold and the creatures it births? In The Serum Sleds, your courage and resolve will be tested at every turn. Gather your warmest clothes, and get ready to set out on the most dangerous journey of your lives. The clock is ticking, and the people of Nome are depending on you. Will you become a legend of the North, or will the blizzard claim you and your team forever?

Academic Fine-Print for Grownups:Students in this class will make imaginary characters. They will interact as their characters to travel 674 miles as mushers in the Great Race of Mercy in 1925’s Alaska. They are tasked with delivering the diphtheria antitoxin from the train station in Nenana to Nome.

Students will be immersed in real-world history via a fictional, fantastical narrative. Optional homework about the early 20th century and life in rural Alaska will be assigned, and they can gain credit in the game for completing it. Students will gain insight into these topics, as well as teamwork, improvisation, and math skills.
