HOW TO PLAY
![Page 6: Nathan/Henry Sparks Raiden Upton-Rowley](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816775550346895ddc6afb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
FIRST OF ALL…• Dungeons and Dragons is played
mostly verbally or using boards and game pieces.
• There is no single objective in Dungeons and Dragons- you “win” by gaining levels, completing quests, getting treasure, etc.
• The game set in a world created and run by the “Dungeon Master”.
• All successes and failures are based on the roll of the die.

![Page 15: Nathan/Henry Sparks Raiden Upton-Rowley](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816775550346895ddc6afb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
STEP 3 – BEGIN YOUR ADVENTURE• What is your goal? Do you have one?• Anything you could do in real life, you can attempt to do in
the game.• Roll the 20 sided dice, and try to get a high number.• Add your modifiers!
![Page 16: Nathan/Henry Sparks Raiden Upton-Rowley](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816775550346895ddc6afb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
STEP 4 - BATTLE• Fighting can either take
place purely verbally, on a board of some kind, or somewhere in between.
• Turns are taken, and each turn you have the chance to take several actions, such as moving, attacking, and shifting.
• Use your basic and special attacks, and don’t be afraid to strategize.

WORLD BUILDING FOR DM’S• The DM’s job is to create an alternate, believable world,
filled with creatures and items.• Don’t plan all aspects out at once- make general
statements about the world, to be filled in later.• Make it fun: fun is dangerous, and fantastical, with “story
hooks”.
![Page 24: Nathan/Henry Sparks Raiden Upton-Rowley](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816775550346895ddc6afb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

abilities, etc., like the players, found in the Monster Manual(s).

MAKING DUNGEONS• A classic part of Dungeons and Dragons.
• In the sewers/aqueducts of a city• In ancient catacombs• In an active volcano.• In a dwarf mine• Etc…
• Consider objectives.• What have the characters come to do?

• Consider atmosphere.• Is it suspenseful? Interesting?
