Publisher's Synopsis
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.
Dungeons & Dragons is a fantasy role-playing game originally designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, and first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. D&D departs from traditional war gaming and assigns each player a specific character to play instead of a military formation. These characters embark upon imaginary adventures within a fantasy setting. A Dungeon Master serves as the game's referee and storyteller, while also maintaining the setting in which the adventures occur. The characters form a party that interacts with the setting's inhabitants and each other. Together they solve dilemmas, engage in battles and gather treasure and knowledge. This book overviews the basics of Dungeons & Dragons including the game's rule books, campaign settings, alignment, and magic items.
