What is Dungeons and Dragons?
D&D is a game of unlimited possibilities! A dungeon master at the table prepares and narrates an immersive fantasy story for you and the other players to interact in, solving puzzles, persuading nobles, fighting baddies, and much more! Every time a player tries something risky, they must roll a die to see if they succeed or not, adding some chance to the mix. Each player role plays, acting out their own created character, each with their own quirks and strengths that can influence the rolls on the dice. That is why D&D is often called a role playing game. Easy rules to learn, memories hard to forget, come try it out at Across the Board!
