Dungeons & Dragons

A fantasy tabletop role-playing game where players create characters and embark on adventures in a fictional world.

Description

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a cooperative storytelling game in which a group of players create characters and embark on adventures within a fantasy setting. One player takes on the role of the Dungeon Master (DM), who narrates the story, controls the non-player characters (NPCs), and adjudicate the rules. The other players create player characters (PCs) who interact with the world and each other, making choices that determine the course of the adventure.

How to Play

• Number of Players Required: Minimum 2 players are required to play, with one player taking on the role of the Dungeon Master (DM) and the others creating player characters (PCs).

• Gameplay

  1. Create your character by choosing a race, class, and background. Each race and class has its own unique abilities and features.
  2. Work with the DM to develop a backstory for your character and determine their motivations and goals.
  3. The DM narrates the story and describes the setting, while the players describe their characters’ actions and decisions.
  4. The DM rolls dice to determine the outcome of actions, such as attacks, skill checks, and saving throws.
  5. Players role-play their characters, interacting with each other and the world around them.
  6. The adventure continues until the players achieve their goals or meet their demise.

Winning Criteria: The winning criteria in D&D is not always clear-cut. Some adventures may have specific goals, such as defeating a particular villain or retrieving a lost artifact. In other cases, the players may simply be trying to survive and tell a compelling story.

Estimated Playtime: A typical D&D session lasts for 3-4 hours, but adventures can span multiple sessions or even entire campaigns that last for months or years.
