DUNGEONS

Dungeons and Dragons is a game with both dungeons and dragons, and everybody already knows that! I am here to dig much deeper into the role-playing game genre than that. Most websites, now that the creator of Dungeons and Dragons is dead, just go ahead and say, "many people enjoyed Mr. Gygax's dungeons and he died a deeply unhappy man." I'm here to dig so much deeper people, no fooling around at all.

First off, there are some common misconceptions about what is wrong with Dungeons and Dragons players. Here are five of them. These are the top five, so keep that in mind:

5. Dungeons and dragons players wear pointy black hats and always carry around dirt in their pockets for spell-casting. This fact is both true and false. Dungeons and Dragons players often carry signet dirt in their pockets, which vibrates when in the vicinity of other people who are carrying the same substance. This is so it is easy to find people to play with. It is not, however, a necessary part of the game. As for the pointy hats, well, you'll have to ask a player! I heard it was changed in the second-to-latest rulebook, but hat choices are not to be spoken of to non-players.

4. Mothers are not allowed to play Dungeons and Dragons. False! False, false, false, and I can tell you why, because there are female characters in Dungeons and Dragons! But you can't quest if you're pregnant.

3. There are no black people in Dungeons and Dragons. I had to call up an old friend about this one because he was black. He said that black people do not play this game. I guess I will have to give this a very loose "True". I think his answer was suspicious.

2. Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Masters are paid minimum wage for their efforts by Wizards of the Coast, Inc. True! Most Dungeon Masters consider this a myth, because they are embarrassed to admit that they love Gary Gygax and Dungeons and Dragons so much that they work for free. When Dungeons and Dragons was invented, Gary Gygax thought nobody would work so hard to run a game for other people, so he saved up some money to pay people with. There are some weird rumors as to why so many Dungeon Masters work for free but I think they are not all-ages appropriate.

1. Dungeons and Dragons causes real fires. False! A similar game, Vampire: The Masquerade, is notorious for sparking fires during play when the pages of the rulebook are turned too quickly. However, Dungeons and Dragons books have never been recorded to set off a similar reaction.

I hope this was very informative.
