Dungeons & Dragons

Introduction: The tabletop role-playing game, Dungeons and Dragons, has remained a cornerstone of pop culture and is more popular than ever since its creation in 1974. However, for how popular it is, the game of D&D has largely remained secluded into a certain sect of people, geeks. Since its creation, D&D has been stigmatized based on stereotypes and bias surrounding the perceived people playing (geeks and nerds) and how the game is portrayed in mainstream media. For example, in 1979 a 16-year-old student at Michigan State University, James Dallas Egbert III, mysteriously vanished. Egbert was a devote D&D player and many pointed towards the game as the source of his disappearance, when in reality Egbert was mentally unstable and the game…

Evan turned back to his kitchen table, making one final adjustment to the table settings. He stepped away from his creation and smiled. Everything had been laid out perfectly for his guests, and that was always a good sign. His Dungeon Master’s screen was standing upright without any sort of aid for what felt like the first time ever, the fridge had been filled with refreshments, otherwise and the places had been set. At each seat laid a perfectly sharpened #2 pencil, an extra eraser and a set…

The dungeon floor begins to shake as you hear a menacing roar from beyond the large metal doors. What could this possibly be? You and your party draw their weapons and ready your spells as a colossal Minotaur tears through the doors like tissue paper and locks onto you. It begins to charge, what do you do? When I was twelve years old I spent the night at my best friend’s house, as I often did on weekends, and was introduced to a game known as “Dungeons and Dragons” by my friend’s older brother.…

Massey, at the head of the table, has set up his Dungeon Master screen which consists of three black plastic panels with plastic pockets.

To Diego’s right is Aaron. He places on his lap a green binder that holds his…

Summer was drawing to a close, and I found myself at my friend Max’s house. Max was having us over to host my friend circle’s weekly Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) event. An ulterior motive, however, did (relatively) exist: Max was having us move some miscellaneous furniture around the house. Nothing too burdensome of course; just a sofa, a pool table, a shelf, and an armchair. After we finished, there was D&D to be played. Playing the game there was Hunter, Ian, Keagan, Max (obviously), Stephen,…

Deep in the heart of the Icewarden's domain, frozen in place for an unknowable number of years, motionless, a dragon suddenly stirred at the approach of another. Eyes, having not seen for years, begin to crack open; scales, fused together by the unforgiving cold of ice, begin to shift; bones, immobile for so long begin to creak. The frozen dragon slowly, meticulously, raises its (previously bowed) head, bleary eyes settling on the first dragon to pass it by for what may have been centuries. The…
