Will your quests lead you to conquer colossal creatures, creating a legacy spoken of for generations, or will you be destroyed, fallen and forgotten? In the end, the decision is yours. Dungeons & Dragons is all about building new stories, and yours can begin right now.

Enjoy!

Dungeons & Dragons launched the great tradition of roleplaying games in 1974 with an unprecedented mix of adventure and strategy, dice-rolling, and storytelling. Wizards of the Coast continues to honor that tradition, bringing to market a diverse range of D&D game and entertainment experiences and influencing numerous writers, directors, and game designers by tapping into an innate human need to gather with friends and tell an exciting story together.
