Land of Ithreach: Dungeons & Dragons

Roll Models uses storytelling and roleplay to create a shared imaginative space where children overcome challenges, share in successes, and work together to solve problems in a safe and fun environment. Within this space, we help children learn to take the perspectives of others, improve their frustration tolerance, develop their creative problem-solving skills, take risks safely, and cultivate communication and collaboration skills. Roll Models is a partnership between two longtime friends who believe that the imagination and teamwork of Dungeons & Dragons can help kids develop during critical times throughout their lives.

Founding partner and creative director of Roll Models, Christopher Walters is a former middle school teacher who started playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends and classmates when he was 10 years old. His interest in creating stories and characters shaped his life with a degree in English literature and as a published author for White Wolf Game Studio. Chris has worked with children for over 25 years in classrooms, after school programs and summer camps.
