Dungeons and Dragons is a fantasy role-playing game. Individuals play the roles of characters in a fantasy world where magic is real and heroes venture out on dangerous quests in search of fame and fortune. Characters gain experience by overcoming perils and recovering treasures. As characters gain experience, they grow in power and ability.

At least two persons are needed to play this game, though the game is most enjoyable when played by a group of four to eight people. This game, unlike others, does not use a playing board or actual playing pieces. All that is needed to play are the rules (look on the web or purchase the latest edition from Wizards), dragon dice, pencil and paper, graph paper, and imagination. The game may be more exciting (and helpful) if miniature figures of the characters and monsters are used, but the game can be played without such aids.

The Dice used in the game:

4 sided die or d4
6 sided die or d6
8 sided die or d8
10 sided die or d10
12 sided die or d12
20 sided die or d20

The 10 sided die can be rolled twice to determine results between 1-100. The first roll would count as the tens and the second roll as the ones.
So a roll of 4 and another roll of 5 would result in 45.

The term 1d6 means, roll a six-sided die once for a result of 1-6.
