Dungeons and Dragons: Rolling To Victory

Welcome to a land of wonder and fantasy, to go where no one else dares to go. With ghouls, demons, and all sorts of dangerous creatures along the way, you can enter the realm of dungeons and dragons after school.

Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game using a fantasy tabletop to bring people together. At Saint Francis School’s media center, we sit and listen to the Dungeon Master, who guides thy quest through yonder to choose if you fail or succeed. We have players that join up and do quests of what thy storyteller gives. This game has been going on for 43 years and through those times it has been growing and it’s getting better.

So how does dungeons and dragons work? Well first off you get a Dungeon Master, person who is like our storyteller. They tell us what the goals are, and guide us through the quest and sometimes there would be decisions that you need to makewhich will have the dungeon master decide your fate. You can if you are the dungeon master and you like to add monsters in it there are abundance of monster you can put in. There’s a board  in the middle which is like our world to view what’s there like buildings, trees,people, or even monsters. Anything that the DM (dungeon masters) tells what there is it would be on the board. The DM is an important role because without him/her you wouldn’t know what to do.

You need 7 different types of die to play because there are different things you do. Sometimes, you need the right type a dice to use. The die that you need to require are a  D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, and D20, but standard 7-dice sets also include a second D10. When playing your friends, you can decide what to do in your own way like if there’s guards up ahead what will you and one person decides to stealth when the other can fight them. It as a life or death situation just for the fun of it. The limit of people you can have depends on the adventure DM they would have. If you don’t know how to play and it’s your first time playing that’s ok because anyone who has any experience with D&D they would help you out.

I played D&D before in my freshmen year I would recommend people to try it out it’s really fun. When I first started off playing D&D, I thought it was going to be complicated game. As I got into it, I began having a great time because you can join up with your friends. It brings a lot of acting and humor out of you. You can loot stuff while traveling, and you get to create the name of your character. There many different categories you can pick for your character, such as, an barbarian elf, a dwarf, or a human. This game is amazing for how long it’s been going.

D&D is fun? The reason I think from my point of it brings the inner nerd out of you to express who you are and what your character is. It’s like a bonding between friends and maybe even new friends. D&D is a fun experience, even though it involves math. It’s not that hard if you keep playing it, you’ll get used to it. It can also be a way of making friends. There’s humor sometimes if you make it funny. When I played the game I was in a hallway with my partner trying to figure out where to go. We were in this one spooky room and the doors shut. Then, the doors became monsters a rug grabed my leg and I  screamed,”I DON’T WANNA DIE BY A DOOR!” Instead I damaged and it got me then I was unconscious, having my partner save me from a door.

Whenever I get the chance to play D&D, I get excited to play with my friends. This fun it’s a way to be courageous and to express yourself in your way. The best thing about it is bringing people together to go on adventures, to fight whatever’s out theret. D&D is gonna have you rolling with. I recommend people to play this game because it’s super fun. You will enjoy it as I did.
