Old Old School

PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Wii...All of these current-gen systems all support a wide variety of games. But none of them support the good old-fashioned fun of sitting around the table and rolling some dice with your friends. Brace your swords and hold ye shit together...it's time for a Dungeons and Dragons blog post!

Dungeons and Dragons is a game you primarily play with your friends in the realm of your mind. It relies on role-playing and an interesting story to keep the players engaged and entertained. Typically you have 4-6 players at one table with a single Dungeon Master (DM). The DM is the glue that holds everyone together, he is the "pope" of organized religion or that CEO that calls all of the shots. The DM is the one that creates the Adventure, runs the Adventure, and plays the mobs that want to kill you. If you do anything that might upset him/her, he/she might just roll a 20 crit on a flying flaming magical arrow from across a continent that hits you in the eyeball.

The player characters (PC) are the adventurers in the DM's story. These people perform amazing feats and slowly build up their characters to become incredibly powerful. Well, usually. Death is mostly permanent and if you just so manage to roll a 1 on certain rolls you might just find yourself in hell OR WORSE. All the PC's actions depend on your dice rolls. A set of 7 dice usually includes a 20 sided dice, a 12 sided dice, a 10 sided dice, a 10 sided percentile dice, a 8 sided dice, a 6 sided dice, and a 4 sided dice. All of your rolls depend on these and if you don't roll high, you're usually fucked. 

Dungeons and Dragons is a semi-complicated games, but once you get friends and a decent DM, it's incredibly enjoyable and rewarding.
