Special Part 1 - How to Play DnD Concepts and Themes

In this 4-part series, we teach new players with absolutely no exposure to the game how to play Dungeons and Dragons with the help of our special guest, Jodie, who prior to recording with us had never been exposed to Dungeons and Dragons. By the end of this series, you'll be ready to build a character and play your first game. In our first episode in this series, Random and Jodie discuss the basic concepts and themes of Dungeons and Dragons and other roleplaying games. They discuss what players do in roleplaying games, how they work, what dice are for, and what sort of things that characters do in a roleplaying game like Dungeons and Dragons.
