Summary
The game consists of players and a dungeon master who leads the players' created characters through high fantasy adventures.
There are more options than just the typical high fantasy setting of D&D. Tabletop games range through all genres and play styles.
Some of the tabletop games played on campus include Spelljammer, a sci-fi space setting and Humblewood, where the group plays as a collection of woodland creatures.
You are not just listening to the story, you are playing it.
Great starting places to learn more about the game and how to play it are asking friends, other students in the same major, or others on a floor or wing.
Game stats, dice and storytelling all play a role in the technical elements of Dungeons & Dragons.
The game allows players and dungeon masters to create or break as many rules as they want while following or straying from the template.
