Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game (RPG) created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson in 1974. It was first published by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR) and later by Wizards of the Coast, now a subsidiary of Hasbro. The game was derived from miniature wargames, with a variation of the 1971 game Chainmail serving as the initial rule system. D&D has had a significant impact on the gaming industry, including board games, video games, and novels.

D&D is popular and significant for several reasons:
– It was the first modern role-playing game and established many of the conventions that have dominated the genre.
– The game allows players to create their own characters and backstories, becoming anyone from a barbarian to a sorcerer.
– D&D has a rich history and has gone through multiple editions, with various changes to the rules and nomenclature.
– The game has been adapted for electronic RPGs, such as Baldur’s Gate, and has had a strong influence on the gaming industry.
