Start by explaining that D&D is a game in which a group of players go on an adventure and solve problems as a team. You might add that D&D was the game that inspired many of today’s most popular video games.  \nHow can kids learn how to play D&D?  \nOne of the easiest ways to learn is to start with the Dungeons & Dragons Basic Game, which lays out the rules in the simplest form. Another way is to learn is from other D&D players. If you don’t know other players, stop by your local game store to find out if they host D&D games. In addition, the D&D Core Rulebooks include introductions to the game.  \nWhy don’t more females play D&D?  \nD&D has tended to appeal more to guys, though there are a growing number of girls who play D&D.  \nWhy does Dungeons & Dragons feature fantasy art?  \nAward-winning, original artwork is one of the things that makes D&D such a compelling game. And today, more than ever, fantasy-themed games, books and movies – from Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings – are popular with audiences of all ages. Some players like D&D because of the intricate fantasy art; others are purely focused on D&D’s challenging game-play.  \nA Pa rent’s Introduction to Dungeons  \n& Dragons ®  \nFor more information on  \nDungeons & Dragons,  \nparents can contact  \nWizards of the Coast at  \n1-800-324-6496  \n[or visit www.wizards.com/dnd](or visit www.wizards.com/dnd)  \n“DUNGEONS & DRAGONS requires more imagination than video games, and it’s cheaper, too.”  \n-New York Magazine  \nDungeons & Dragons, Wizards of the Coast and their respective logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast, Inc. in the U.S.A. and other countries.

D&D has been translated into more than 16 languages, including Japanese and Russian, and is sold in over 50 countries.  \nWe created this brochure especially for parents of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS players, so you can understand more about the game that your son or daughter enjoys, along with millions of others teens around the world.  \nA Brief History of  \nDUNGEONS & DRAGONS  \nIn 1974, Dave Arneson and Gary Gygax came up with a revolutionary concept: a fantasy game in which players assume the roles of characters journeying through a magical world with medieval trappings.  \nThis early version of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, assembled around Gygax’s kitchen table, required only dice, pencils, graph paper, and a few basic rules. At a local game convention in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, D&D proved an instant bestseller.  \nSince that time, D&D has gone through several editions, and expanded its reach to stimulate the billion-dollar electronic gaming industry, but the essence of D&D has stayed the same. Three rulebooks, a set of dice, pen and paper and a few friends are all anyone needs to play a great D&D game.  \nHow do you play?  \nDungeons & Dragons is simply interactive storytelling.
