The first Dungeons & Dragons game was played back when Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson chose to personalize the massive battles of their fantasy wargames with the exploits of individual heroes. This inspiration became the first fantasy roleplaying game, in which players are characters in an ongoing fantasy story. This new kind of game has become immensely popular over the years, and D&D has grown to include many new ways to vividly experience worlds of heroic fantasy.
The core of D&D is storytelling. You and your friends may tell a story together, guiding your heroes through quests for treasure, battles with deadly foes, daring rescues, courtly intrigue, and much more. You can also explore the many worlds of D&D through any of the hundreds of novels written by today's hottest fantasy authors, as well as engaging board games and immersive video games. All of these stories are part of D&D.
User summary:
New edition of Dungeons & Dragons released in 2014 after two-and-a-half years of development including an open "D&D Next" playtest program which ran from May 2012 through October 2013. This edition of the game aims to take the best parts of all previous major editions of D&D, and to be extensible in a modular fashion, with Dungeon Masters adding new rules as needed and players having a flexible level of complexity in character design.
This RPG designates official D&D products released by (or licensed by) Wizards of the Coast. Unlicensed products which do not use the "Dungeons & Dragons" trademark (and which typically proclaim "Fifth Edition" or "5e" compatibility) should be assigned to the 5e Game System Product (D&D 5th Edition Compatible) RPG instead of to this RPG.
