I’ve only played Dungeons and Dragons once. I was 20 and drove an hour and a half to an acquitances house and jumped into a compaign already underway as a dwarf paladin (I think). Sitting in a garage with people I barely knew, rolling dice for reasons I didn’t know wasn’t much fun. I was invited back but I never accepted the invitation, I decided I was nerdy enough playing video games, board games, table-top war games, card games, etc., etc.
So it is with the greatest surprise that I find myself currently addicted to the new facebookapplication, Dungeons and Dragons Tiny Adventures. The great thing about it is, I don’t have to do anything! I don’t have to know the arcane rules, I don’t have to pretend to be someone I’m not, I don’t have to create a character… In actuality the application is nothing more than a paper-doll program with narrative, and a little bit of social interaction thrown in. Not much to it, but I’ve only been playing for about a week and my character is already nearing level 10 (which as I understand is where normal DnD characters max out, you need more books, or something, after that).
So if you’ve got a facebook account and want the easiest possible introduction to what DnD and roleplaying games are, click the link above and start adventuring!
