D&D, not as strange as you may think

Dungeons and Dragons, a game that brings up images of tapped glasses and pocket protectors. I say, these images are totally wrong, imagine burning towns, a desperate hand to hand fight, a forest covered in early morning fog so thick anything could hide withing and my favorite brave warriors of your own total creation. You almost have to be taught by a relative or a friend who plays to understand the many different rules, that is probably why it is so misunderstood. It is a social game, you can't play alone. Usually you have a group of 3-7 (not counting a DM [dungeon master]) Most of my family either plays or has played, that is how I learned but it had been a while. If you are even remotely interested ask, remember there is no such thing as a dumb question.

I've played one game and I kinda like D&D

wouldn't mind trying it, was a whole lot too complicated when I first played it.

Yeah I know what you mean I have been working on the first rule book for months.

Spoiler:

I'm gonna start playing again soon. I'm a dwarf in D&D

What class?

A fighter....

Awesome but I'm ranger all the way.

I always wonder why its been stereotyped as a "nerds" game. I bet you if popular kids would've been the ones playing it it'd be cool. I've never played, and I'm probably to blonde to figure it out , but it sounds like fun.

You just need a good DM.

Still think it is a very wierd game............................................ there are like 100 rule books.....

There are three rule books, two of them you don't have to read unless your a DM. All the other ones are optional.

So then why do people even read them and why do they all still sell???

What do you mean? All the books have a purpose. The DM has to read 2 and use 1 as a reference, a player only has to read one.

I still don't see why they need so many books.. I think it is a scam to make money. They could make them all one or subsidize them.

The game is extremely complicated, so many books are needed. One is the rule book, and the others are basically the admin tutorials.

Until I started playing I thought the exact same thing, but it's really not.

I just dont feel like spending all the money on peices and books..... (Im broke rofl!!!)
