Beginning a new adventure: Dungeons and Dragons

Welcome, adventurer! At Nordicdice.com, we recognize that the heart of every epic fantasy tale lies in the imagination, the roll of the dice, and the camaraderie of a well-functioning adventure group. But how do you embark on such exciting excursions, you ask? Let's dive into the wonderful world of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D).

Basics of Dungeons and Dragons

D&D is an exciting tabletop role-playing game (RPG) that immerses you in a realm of infinite possibilities. The rules may seem daunting at first, but fear not! With a little practice, you'll soon be battling dragons and exploring dungeons like a seasoned adventurer.

Beginning of your journey

To begin your quest, you will need several essential items:

  1. Dungeons and Dragons Rulebooks: The Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual form the core of D&D's rules. Here at Nordicdice.com we sell the rulebooks, but we recommend reading through the books to improve your D&D experience. 

  2. Dice: The most essential tool for every D&D adventurer. Roll the dice to determine the outcome of your actions in the game, whether it's slaying a beast, disarming a trap, or charming a stubborn guard. Explore our wide selection of great dice sets to match your character, and keep them handy with our dice bags!

  3. And Character Scheme: This is your hero's resume. It outlines everything from your character's abilities, spells, equipment, background and more. You can download these online. You can find the grade sheets her

  4. A group of friends: D&D's charm lies in its cooperative nature. Gather your friends and take them on your epic journey. Don't have a group yet? Check out online platforms, online groups or local game stores.

  5. A Dungeon Master (DM): The DM is the narrator, the referee, and the characters not controlled by players. They weave the story, uphold the rules and create the challenges. If you're up to the task, become a DM. If not, maybe someone in your group can rise to the occasion! Read this one guide.

The rules of the game

In D&D, the narrative unfolds through a mixture of narration, decision-making, and the randomness of the dice. When you attempt an action, you roll a 20-sided die (d20), add any applicable modifiers from your character sheet, and compare the result to a difficulty set by the DM. A high roll can result in heroic success, while a low roll can lead to comic failure - or dire consequences.
