Quests, magic and of course, dragons. These are just a few things that come to mind when the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons is mentioned.
The 1971 classic tabletop game allows for a group of friends to embark on an adventure together. Playing as various characters that progress through battles with both monsters and mythical animals alike. Success is highly reliant on teamwork, improvisation and a balanced party, making D&D the perfect game of choice for some of Crowder’s theatre students.
Games usually occur once per week, and they vary, depending on schedules. The group keeps to itself but showed an openness to new players participating.
“There’s an unspoken rule about keeping it to a group of five,” sophomore Jacob Esterline said. “Some people drop in and drop out, and come in just to watch,” he continued.
Sophomore Greyson Lamp went on to say, “We tend to invite other people as a NPC (non-playable character) to get used to it and see how the game works.”
For any potential players that might be wary due to a variety of reasons, both Esterline and Lamp offered encouragement.
“I would say anybody really [can play] if you have a vast imagination.” said Lamp.
Esterline interjected, “If you’ve got time and you’ve got friends that are reliable.”
Prospective players that both have time and imagination but are lacking in the reliable friend’s department are encouraged to reach out to Crowder’s de facto D&D group. Email Monty Pugh-Towe at montypughtowe@crowder.edu for more details.
