what is dungeons & dragons?
Dungeons & Dragons is not only the world’s greatest roleplaying game but a social experience where players come together to create their own unique adventure story. It’s cooperative storytelling at its best.
Play for just 30 minutes or 4 hours, it’s totally up to you. However long you choose to play, the story is guided by your decisions and actions, and your actions are guided by the rules. Harness your imagination to battle monsters while searching for legendary treasures and gain experience and power as you trek across uncharted lands with your companions.

In Dungeons & Dragons, your options are limitless: as a Dungeon Master you can narrate your party’s tales, and whatever happens next is up to you! Create legendary stories with your friends.
