Dungeons And Dragons

This Saturday on the official Blizzard Watch Twitch channel at 2:30 PM Central time, our intrepid band of adventurers will once again sally forth into the mysterious jungles of the island of -- well, so far exploding volcano lairs, giant magma dragons, angry kobolds riding on giant monsters, and crashing airships.

In previous articles, we have covered a bunch of beginner Dungeons and Dragons concepts -- how to be a dungeon master, how to turn your favorite books into Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, and how to play Dungeons and Dragons online.

If you're playing Dungeons and Dragons or just like reading the books -- and there's no shame in that, I'm a huge fan of way more RPGs than I've actually gotten to play -- you may be wondering what Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus, the latest D&D adventure, is all about.

Sooner or later -- and probably sooner -- you're going to say Okay, everyone roll for initiative when playing Dungeons and Dragons.

Okay, so you're running a D&D game.

I'm old, and I've been at this hobby for a while.

If you missed it live on our Twitch channel this weekend, you can now go and listen to part three of Blizzard Watch's D&D campaign.

Hi.

We're two sessions into our Blizzard Watch Dungeons and Dragons game, and so far we've seen our party of adventurers wake up on slabs, fight their way through a goblin infested volcano lair, steal an airship, interrogate a goblin they've named either "Bud" or "Bob" depending on who you ask, and crash said airship into a river while it was on fire from the breath weapon of a dragon that hatched out of that same volcano.

I think the first computer game I ever played was a Gold Box Dungeons and Dragons adventure, if we're not counting text adventure games, none of which I remember.
