Dungeons and Dragons

So I played my first ever session of D&D today and I've got to say, I wish I had started playing sooner. I have always wanted to play D&D, so it was great that I finally got the chance to play. The game was very interesting, even though I pretty much had no clue what the hell I was doing. I am also unsure if I will ever know what I am doing, or if I will ever be any good at roleplaying or character development. The people I played with were not only great players, but they were also very easy to get along with and funny. In addition to that, Andy was awesome as the dungeon master. He really does put a lot of thought and planning into the game, while at the same time not taking it too seriously and making it fun.

If you have never played the game before, it is very similar to Lord of the Rings, which most people should be familiar with. To sum it up, you become a hero on a mythical journey trying to fulfill an epic quest in a fantasy world. You are usually joined by a few other adventures, which are also usually trying to accomplish the same end. The dungeon master controls the whole game and it is your job to defeat whatever he throws at you, in order to complete your quest. In short, the game is nearly endless, as are the character possibilities.

Now this game may sound a little...a little "nerdy" I guess you might say, but it is genuinely fun. Don't knock it until you've tried it people. And if you have tried it and still don't like it, there is probably something wrong with you, or possibly the people that you are playing with. Not really though, this game isn't for everyone, but I know that my first experience with it was a good one. So far so good, we'll see how I like it after I fully understand what I am doing, if that ever happens....

It is getting late and I am tired, so I will end this post now. If you want to check out what D&D is all about, go to this website for further details: D&D
