I’ve always been a fairly geeky
person, so when I started playing Dungeons and Dragons (also known as D&D)
it was no surprise that I immediately fell in love with it. For those who don’t
know, D&D is a tabletop roleplaying game that uses polyhedral dice to
determine the outcome of in-game events in a fantasy world controlled by the
Dungeon Master (DM). Each player creates a unique character and acts out the
role of that character throughout the course of the game.
I love D&D so much because,
unlike with traditional forms of storytelling, I get to directly participate
and help create the story with a group of friends for several hours every week.
My particular group of adventurers consists of my human wizard, a half-elf
ranger, an elven cleric, and a few others. We’ve spent countless evenings
together in taverns, hatched and raised a baby dragon, slain powerful evil
entities, and even brought a fallen comrade back to life.
While it’s fun to pick up something
like The Lord of the Rings and read
about a group of heroes going on a grand quest, it’s even more fun to
experience such an adventure firsthand.
