How hard is it to learn Dungeons and Dragons?
Dungeons and Dragons is somewhere in the middle of the spectrum — the rules are simple enough to follow as a beginner, but there’s a very clear structure to work within. Players have room to get creative without feeling paralyzed by infinite choices or bogged down by complicated rules.
What age should you start playing Dungeons and Dragons?
I usually see 12 being recommended as the ideal age to start playing D&D. The rules can be a little complicated, and kids need to be able to think abstractly in order to enjoy playing the game. In my own D&D group, I work with middle school aged kids from ages 11-14.
What should I buy to start DND?
To start a D&D game, I recommend the following:
- A 5th edition Player’s Handbook.
- One set of dice: a D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20.
- Printed character sheets.
- Pencils.
- A whiteboard (for maps)
- Dry erase markers.
- An adventure (a pre-made book that contains a story, NPCs and monsters)
What is Dungeons & Dragons?
Let’s first introduce a few key concepts! The Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game is about storytelling in worlds of swords and sorcery. Like games of make-believe, D&D is driven by imagination. It’s about picturing a crumbling castle in a darkening forest and imagining how a fantasy adventurer might react to the challenges that scene presents.
