\\! !bW!! ~ Preface

This is a game that is fun. It helps you

imagine. "As you whirl around, your sword ready, the huge, red, fire-breathing dragon swoops toward you with a

ROAR!"

See? Your imagination woke up already.

Now imagine: This game may be more

fun than any other game you have ever played!

The DUNGEONS & DRAGONS@

game is a way for us to imagine together - like watching the same movie, or reading the same book.

Butyou can write

the stories, without putting a word on paper -just by playing the D&D@ game.

You, along with your friends, will

create a great fantasy story, you will put it away after each game, and go back to school or work, but - like a book - the adventure will wait. It's better than a book, though; it will keep going as long as you like.

It is nearly the most popular game

How to use this book

You can learn how to play the DUN-

GEONS & DRAGONS@ game by your- self, simply by reading the next sections of this booklet.

You don't have to memo-

rize everything as you read; the first two adventures are designed to teach you while you play. If you are ready to learn, begin reading at

Start here.

The game is usually played in groups

of

3 or more people. If you want to learn

with others, it's best if one person al- ready knows how to play, and can teach the others. If not, you (or one of the others) may read the first adventure aloud, while everyone follows along, to learn the basics of the game. However, it's better if each person can read the adventures separately.

When you all know how to play char-

acters, read the sections "DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Characters" and "Play- ing with a Group".

One person must

also learn how to be a Dungeon Master (or DM) - the person who plays the roles of the Monsters. The other booklet ever made. And you will see why, in just a bit.

When you bought some other game

or book, did you ever think, "Gee, that's nice, but it's not quite what I thought it would be"? Well, your D&D adventures will be just what you want, because you're the one making them up!

And it's not hard. It takes a little read-

ing and a little thinking, but most of all, it's fun.

It's fun when you discover that no-

body loses, and everybody wins!

It's fun when you get good at the

game . . . for example, knowing what to expect in a kobold cave, and which drag- ons are on your side.

And you don't have to put in a coin

each time, like many other games. Once you have these rules, you don't need anything else.

There's more, of course, if you want it:

exciting adventures to play, miniature fig- ures of monsters and characters, expert rules for more experienced players, and lots more. But you already have every- thing you need to start: this package, and your imagination. That will do it.

Ah, yes; it does cost one more thing,

which you also have right now - a bit of time. It takes a few minutes to learn the basic rules, and another hour or two to play a full game. You will probably want to spend more time, and might even make it a hobby; millions of people have.

But for now, just sit back and imagine.

"Your character stands atop a grassy hill . . . the sun glints off your golden hair, rippling in the warm breeze . . . you absent-mindedly rub the gem-studded hilt of your magac sword, and glance over at the dwarf and elf, bickering as usual about how to load the horses . . . the magic-user has memorized her spells, and says she's ready to go . . . a dangerous dungeon entrance gapes at you from the mountain nearby, and inside, a fearsome dragon awaits.

Time to get moving.

Have Fun!
