The most daunting yet exciting part of D&D is building a character. It is up to the DM to describe how the world around the Players reacts to their actions and to describe what the Players see in the world around them. Whenever a player wishes for their character to do something, they declare it and the DM functions like a referee, determining what they need to roll to succeed. Every one is playing make-believe with one key difference, D&D gives players dice to determine consequences and outcomes of players actions.


This part is farely easy to oversimplify. D&D at its core is a narrative driven game where the Dungeon Master (DM) facilitates the game and works with the Players to tell an engaging story that is told through the use of dice, combat, roleplaying and the DM’s narration. Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) isn’t your typical game that you win.
