Dungeons and Dragons is a tabletop game called an RPG(role-playing game). Dungeons and Dragons(D&D)is one of the greatest games ever created as it taps into the endless imagination of one's own mind and that can give anybody the power to do anything they wish as long as one can imagine it... The main premise of any role-playing game is to assume a role of a character in the story being told. Of course, that is a very succinct version of role-playing games(RPGs)in general.
The lengthy and intricate version is a bit daunting as this game allows you to;
1. Do anything you want.
2. Be anyone you want.
3. Do it with whomever you want to do it with.
4. Live any way you want to live.
5. Be the greatest hero in the story or the most vile villain.
Any action can occur and does as all the Dungeon Master(DM) does is place the Player Characters(PCs) into a situation and the player characters use their minds, wits, items, spells and weapons or anything else they can find, borrow or steal to get through that situation. If successful, they find wealth, fame and fortune as well as a rise in personal wisdom, dignity and self worth. All good things. If they fail then they may lose eveything, including the characters life. The game's goal is to basically become the most powerful and successful that one can be...not unlike real life. Like real life you can experience all the joys, happiness and hope of successfully reaching your goals as well as the pain, sorrow and despair of failing to meet your expectations. One game could take quite literally years to end and within that time your character could get married, have children,establish a home and a community or conquer the known world...the sky is not the limit with this game. You can easily travel to other worlds or known planes of existence, you can experience the light and awe of the various planes of good and righteousness or peruse the darkness and fire of the many planes of hell among many pantheons of any culture.
The diversness of races, classes and abilities are not limited in any way. As long as one can imagine it...it can be.
Truly a visceral, educational and limitless experience and I believe everyone should take a spin as their favorite hero or villain. As long as you retain the perspective that even though it is a game that can lead you to extraordinary places and events and awesome heights of grandeur and fame...it is still just a game.
Dungeons and Dragons has produced some of the world's greatest tales of adventure and heroism...all written by the people who play it.

Crowning achievement in medical science- the only contraceptive proven to be 100% effective in preventing sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy, individuals prescribed could well remain a virgin indefinitely.
Jackson started Dungeons and Dragons 38 years ago, and he hasn't been at risk for pregnancy or STD's since!

A game for the uber-geeks of the world (like me) to come and speak a language completely unintelligable to non-players.

A game or "Alternative Lifestyle" played typically by teenagers and aging adults. Not much is needed to play other than a paper, a pencil, some imagination, and some friends.
Hitler played D&D with his Jewish friends one night, when the Gamemaster Craig cheated and Hitler has been bitter about it ever since...thus being responsible for the Holocaust.

The best thing in the history of man that allows nerds and other people that are not "normal" to create a world in which they can be the strongest and or the smartest person ever.
Every sunday Brian,Carl and I have a 6 hour D&D session with our dungeon master Keegan to escape this normal really boring world of ours.
