What is Dungeons & Dragons?

Watch Deborah Ann Wohl (Daredevil, True Blood) introduce Jon Bernthal (Walking Dead, Punisher) to Dungeons & Dragons (Video credit: REAL ONES with Jon Bernthal).

Dungeons & Dragons is a collective storytelling game. The Dungeon Master is a kind of narrator/referee who guides the players through adventures. The players are not in competition with each other; they work together towards mutual goals. Each player controls one character who has unique abilities and attributes. The Dungeon Master controls all the other characters and creatures encountered by the players (friends and foes alike).

The adventures can be self-contained, single-session games (called “one-shots”) or played as part of an ongoing episodic series to form a continuing story (or “campaign”). A typical session will last 2-4 hours.

The Basic Rules are available to download free in PDF form. They contain everything you need to play, except some dice. If you don’t own D&D dice, there are numerous free digital dice rollers available online (here’s one).

If you are just getting started, we’re kinda jealous. There’s something very special about your first Dungeons & Dragons campaign. You’ve never played anything quite like this before. We hope you pass your death saves.
