Thread: D&D

As nerdy as some people may consider it, i've been interested in possibly getting into Dungeons & Dragons lately. I've never done it before, and I don't know how the game works in a lot of detail, but I do like the RP side of it. Does anyone here play? If so, what's a good way to get started? Especially seen none of my friends play and I don't live close to any stores that run nights of D&D or whatever.

You enter a small bar.

You find a potion: +1 stamina.

You find a rusty door.

You used "Rusty Key"

The door is locked

You selected "Quit Game". Are you sure you want to quit?

You selected "Yes".

If you are interested in it for the RP side of things, I suggest you find a better table-top RPG. D&D isn't exactly known for being great for RP'ing. More so it's known for being hack and slash rules heavy. Find a Storytelling system, like World of Darkness, if you want something for the RP side of things.

D&D is coming out with 4th edition here soon, or so I've heard. A good way to get started is to just order the core rule book. If none of your friends play, get them interested in playing or check out a local college. A lot of those have Gaming groups.

If you've never done it before, the best way to start is to get a couple friends together who've never done it either, get the core book and give it a go. A lot of new players can get easily turned off from table top rpg's by the hardcore gamers who will argue about stupid bullshit and can't just have fun with it. Its something that can be really entertaining or utterly unenjoyable depending on how laid back the people you play with are. Also, I wouldn't recommend finding a pre-existing club; a lot of D+D dorks don't really have much else in their lives to feel special about and so they develop an elitist attitude in the fantasy land of rpg's which isn't very good for new comers to be exposed to.
