According to the Dungeons & Dragons(D&D) main website, D&D is a game "about storytelling in worlds of swords and sorcery...driven by imagination" where players roll dice to determine whether their attacks hit or miss and whether their characters can scale a cliff, roll away from the strike of a magical lightning bolt, or pull off some other dangerous task. Anything is possible, but the dice make some things more probable than others." Check out the official "What Is D&D?" and "Basics of Play" pages for more info!
Playing D&D is a lot like playing an RPG online or on a console. You play as a character in the world of the game that's chosen a certain role or "class," which determines your character's skills, powers, and abilities. There are 12 different basic classes. To get ready for the program, take a look at descriptions of the D&D classes, and decide which one sounds most fun to you.
Warrior Classes (focus on direct, physical combat): Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, Paladin
Spellcasters (focus on magic): Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
