GAMES you’ve never played,
but really should Dungeons and Dragons Tabletop Game, D&D Beyond, Roll20 First published in 1974, Dungeons and Dragons has grown in popularity ever since. Chances are you’ve heard about the game in passing, but did you know it originated many of the staple RPG (Role-Play Games) elements present in games today? To play Dungeons and Dragons all you need is a paper, pencil, and your own imagination. To go on adventures, you begin by choosing a race such as Elf, Dwarf, or Human, and a class like Ranger, Barbarian, or Wizard that determine your character’s abilities. You have HP (Health Points) and stats just like any video game you’re familiar with but your success or failure is all determined by rolling various dice. A DM (Dungeon Master) serves as the narrator of the story, a referee or guide of sorts. There are websites like D&D Beyond and Roll20 that make the game more accessible to new players, so if you were on the fence about D&D before, now’s a great time to jump right in.
