[QUOTE="kitsune9, post: 5415568, member: 18507"] I try to make describing the game very simply, because I find if I spend anytime longer than three minutes, I've created instant boredom in the listerner: D&D is a game where you assume the personality of a fantasy character such as a wizard or a dwarf. You assume this personality much like an actor would in a play; however a referee of the game presents a series of acts such as fighting monsters, exploring dark dungeons, and saving the day. Unlike a play which is scripted, you get to make your own choices and dice are used to determine failure or success. To win the game is to have fun with your other players and accomplish the goals presented. Now, this definition is obviously woefully accurate of the full potential of an rpg, but it gets the job done in being succinct and quick and I'm using everyday language that the non-gamer will understand. Good luck with the SO thing! [/QUOTE]
