Dungeons & Dorm Rooms
I’m a longtime fan of tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) like Dungeons and Dragons. For this project, I created a set of materials that allow college applicants to create “characters” based on themselves and level up their characters by achieving real-world goals.
Audience: College applicants
Tools used: Adobe Illustrator & Acrobat, Microsoft Word
Fair use: Free to use for non-commercial purposes. Try it out!
Elements
Character Sheet
The character sheet is the core of Dungeons & Dorm Rooms. By printing and filling out this sheet, a player catalogs everything they have to offer to colleges, from concrete achievements like test scores to abstract qualities like empathy.
I designed this sheet on paper and in Microsoft Word before developing it in Illustrator.
Player’s Guide
The Player’s Guide is a 10-page document that explains how to use the Character Sheet and Quest Sheet. I designed and developed this documenet in Microsoft Word.
Quest Sheet
Completing quests is an optional part of Dungeons & Dorm Rooms. Players can use this sheet to log and reflect on their goals and receive “experience points” toward a new player level by completing them.
