Seeker's Guild

Seeker's Guild Seeker’s Guild is actively creating and cultivating an inclusive community for the next generation of Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Seeker's Guild!

If you’ve heard about Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) you might picture a group of close friends gathered in their parents’ basement to play a game steeped in magic and mystery, but there is great depth hiding within that simple gathering. The fact that D&D has tenaciously held an audience for over forty years speaks to it being an incredible forum for engaging imaginations, encouraging creative storytel

ling, and building close friendships based on shared experiences. Players of all backgrounds and ages hone interpersonal skills, experience personal growth, and stretch their ability to problem-solve in wildly varied ways—exploring new worlds both within and outside of themselves. Dungeons & Dragons has an enormous positive impact, but remains unknown and inaccessible to many younger players who would enjoy and benefit from it enormously. For that reason, we have formed the Seeker’s Guild—a company dedicated to giving players an opportunity to engage with the Dungeons & Dragons platform in a welcoming, non-judgmental space. We provide guided opportunities to learn the game in a way that is especially supportive, meaningful, and challenging. Beginning as just a few people passionate about Dungeons & Dragons, we realized that we wanted to do more than simply experience the game for ourselves—Seeker’s Guild aims to actively create and cultivate a community for the next generation of adventurers to whom we can hand the torch. With that said, we are excited to announce that the Seeker’s Guild has officially launched its website at http://www.seekersguild.us! We are creating opportunities for players (ages 10+) in the East Bay and beyond to learn, play, and grow through Dungeons & Dragons while immersing themselves in worlds they will play an active role in building. Seeker’s Guild is offering full 12-week campaigns, one-shots for those who want to be introduced to the Dungeons & Dragons system, and focused workshops for those wanting to dig deeper into the D&D universe. Come on this journey with us—we couldn’t be happier to have you join the Seeker’s Guild.

"Immersion in a scenario where (players) need to think about impossible events might engage (their) deeper processing, precisely because they can’t treat these scenarios as they would every other scenario that they encounter in reality."

Children have a lot of learning to do. Arguably, this is the purpose of childhood: to provide children with protected time so that they can focus on learning how to communicate, how the world around them works, what values their culture finds impo...

You may not have noticed our silence lately, but we’ve been speechless for very personal reasons.

Just over three weeks ago, we lost Seeker’s Guild co-founder and dear friend Evan Kincade to a fatal car accident, and have been struggling mightily to find our voice in the shock and grief that has followed.

We are incredibly proud to have had the chance to create Seeker’s Guild alongside Evan, especially since playing Dungeons & Dragons was one of his favorite ways to connect with the friends he held so close to his heart. Our mission embodies Evan’s gift for accepting and bringing people together, especially the more introverted among us. Continuing to make a difference in each of our players’ lives is a legacy we are honored to share with him. Everyone whom we affect has been touched by Evan, and through this and so many other ways his impact on this world continues.

In honor of Evan, thank you for being a part of our dream.

This shouldn't surprise anyone who's played D&D, but it may be new to those of you who haven't! Amazing things happen at the table, and only some of them occur within the game itself.

The quintessential nerdy pastime of Dungeons & Dragons (also called D&D) can actually be the secret to life success. How? Ethan Gilsdorf shows us how this gr...
