uni Case Western Reserve ☛ Why try Dungeons and Dragons?
Dungeons and Dragons—often shortened to DnD—is a hobby that many people have heard of, but if you have never tried it before, it sounds like something only the most reclusive of individuals play. Oftentimes, DnD is portrayed in the media as a group getting together in full wizarding robes, huddling around in a dark basement to “roll to seduce the dragon.” Others who may be slightly more familiar with the game but still not have played before may know of Critical Role or a Roll20 series and think of highly polished sets, with massive production value and monologues from famous voice actors that make them think, “I could never do this, so why even try.” Before I tried DnD, I thought of it as a nerdy board game that, when initially explained, sounded way too complicated for me to understand. However, after a second chance and the opportunity to play with friends, I came to deeply enjoy the time I spent with the game, and I now consider myself fully a DnD fanatic. I really think that with some time and some explanation of what DnD is, many more people on campus will be willing to give it a try and potentially find a lifelong hobby for themselves.
