I don't know how many of you have played D & D, but I have for close to 12 years...off and on. For those who aren't familiar with it...it's roll playing game.  There are no game boards, or playing pieces.  Players usually sit around a table with a pencil and scratch pad. 
 
In this game you assume a roll and a name.  At the start of the session you introduce your character and tell a little about him, or her.  You may choose to be whatever you want to be.  King, Queen, Warrior, Sorcerer. Magical Elf, whatever?  My character was usually Tragon The Nordic Warrior from Val Halla.
 
At the start of the game the Dungeon Master...usually he, or she who is hosting the game, sets the scene.  This could be a castle, the forrest, a cave or any number of places.  There is a mission to accomplish.  Anyone playing can accomplish the mission.  Your fellow players can be your enemy, or your friend.  You don't know which they are until you encounter them.  In some games if you are killed...you are out of the game, but in others, if you are killed you can be given another life.  Some games can become very compicated, and others are straight forward simple
 
It's all very magical and mystical and a lot of fun to play.  It has been said that D & D is a form of Devil worship.  It's not.  It's just a simple, roll playing game.
