Dungeons & Dragons - Is the original role-playing game, the game that created a new category of entertainment! Set in a medieval fantasy world of magic and monsters, the game allows you to experience stories and adventures full of endless possibilities and amazing surprises. To play Dungeons & Dragons, you need a Dungeon Master (DM) to present challenges, adjudicate the rules, and narrate the adventure. You also need players to run heroic characters, and adventure (premade or self-created), and special dice. A character is a player’s interface with the world of D&D. Like the hero of a novel or the star of a movie, the player characters (PCs) are at the centre of the action. However there’s no script to follow, the course of every adventure is determined through the actions the players take, you could be a axe wielding barbarian, to a caring rogue who steals from the rich to give to the poor, there are many types of characters available to play, and in any given situation, all of these characters will act differently. Unlike many other mediums, D&D gets everyone involved, you could have to plan an extensive extraction of a prisoner, to a diplomatic conversation with a powerful foe, and thus every role-playing experience is different to each other. Dungeon & Dragons adventures can have fixed objectives, such as kill the dragon, find the treasure, or solve a mystery, or can continue for weeks on end forming a campaign, which your characters play, on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. Dungeons & Dragons is about coming together as a group and letting your imagination run free, for the possibilities are endless.
