As some of you ma already know, ipoly has a strategic gaming elective. There, people learn to play and conquer the classic role playing game of dungeons and dragons. It may seem like a nerdy elective, but as it turned out, it seemed to be like a lot of fun. I wanted to learn a little bit more about this mysterious elective, so I decided to go to Mr.Pang, the teacher of the elective, to find out why this game was so popular. Here is an interview with a girl named Krystyn, a sophomore who has enough experience with the game.
