     A Little About The Game

Dungeons and Dragons, a personal favorite of mine. This game is all about your imagination and just really getting immersed in you character. You are playing a role, thus the reason it's called a role-playing game. When you play this game you are not just playing, you are making another person. The game it's self is very diverse but, in a normal game you start by gathering some players and creating or using a campaign. You can also just free play if you want. Everyone usually has a character in mind, and then they roll their stats using 6 sided dice. You then distribute your rolled stats among 6 categories, Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and  finally Charisma. Each stat is good to focus for different fighting styles and classes. Some basic classes you can play are Fighter, Mage, Cleric, Paladin, Bard, Rogue, and Ranger. There are more but, these are the most common ones. After making the basics of your character you start going into personalization. He/She can be tall, short, old, young, long haired, no haired and everything in between. You can also pick your race. Many people tend to play elves or dwarves. There are of course stranger races such as minotaurs, or teiflings. There are all sorts of options to choose from. The game itself is all about losing yourself in the fantasy and really connecting with the character. You fight monsters and go on quests. You meet people and create tales of yourself. So you make the fun by just doing what you want to do (Within limits of course.).

What Makes It Special?

 

When you play D&D you are not just making a character. You are making an extension of yourself if you will. In some way they are a part of you imagination. You choose their lives and personality. Even if this person is nothing like you, you can always do what you want to do. basically if I can quote something it would  be "Our futures up to you, so whatcha gonna do?!". You make the future of you character. You made them and you can unmake em. You can make them great heroes, or evil overlords. The reason why I personally think that this game is so good for characters is the whole thing about being able to do anything with them. If you want to create a doctor who steals the souls of his patients go ahead. If you want to make a hunter with a fear of blood you can. You can even make a hero looking to avenge his murdered family who was killed by a band of marauding thieves. It's as close to a sandbox as you can get without it being one. You can make some of the coolest and most interesting characters ever in D&D. It's like writing a mini story while the epic is in the making. That is why D&D is perfect for making and falling in love with various characters.
