What music is good to play dungeons and dragons with?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Music can add an incredible amount of atmosphere to a game. It's extra work for the DM (or whoever is in charge of the music) but it adds so much to the game it's completely worth it. As for good music to play while in session, the group Two Steps from Hell has amazing music for any fantasy setting, and you can find dozens upon dozens of songs of theirs on YouTube. YouTube is a great resource for finding and using music in this way. I have a lengthy D&D Music playlist on YouTube, and it is populated with songs by Two Steps from Hell, Hans Zimmer, music from the Monster Hunter video game franchise, and music from movies. You might be surprised what kind of music fits in a D&D setting -- I've found that music from the movie Interstellar works phenomenally for this sort of thing. One last tip: using the Adblock add-on will keep away those pesky YouTube commercials and keep the session uninterrupted.

Happy questing!

What is the best way to explain the process of combat in Dungeons and Dragons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I've found that explaining it is difficult, to say the least. The best way to help someone learn the combat system really is to just sit them down with a pre-made character and do it. You can simplify it by running a monster's turn first and making sure to explain everything as you're doing it. Then, when your PC's turn comes up, ask him what he wants to do and explain to him how to do it. (The following example assumes your PC is familiar with dice abbreviations and terms like "Armor Class.") DM: "Okay, the goblin takes a swipe at you with his handaxe. He rolls 1d20 and comes up with 18. He then subtracts -1 for his Strength penalty, which modifies his roll to 17. I compare that to your Armor Class - 15 - and his stroke lands. The goblin then rolls 1d4 for damage and subtracts -1 for being weak; the roll is 3, so he deals 2 points of damage to you. Your turn." PC: "Ouch! He's not getting away with that. I want to slice him open with my longsword!" DM: "Okay. Make me an attack roll: that's 1d20, plus your Strength modifier, plus any other modifiers you might have like a masterwork weapon or the Weapon Focus feat." [For clarity's sake, I always total this stuff up beforehand, so the newbie PC only has to know "roll 1d20+3" or whatever.] PC: (rolls) "20! Is that good?" DM: "Not for the goblin. That's a critical hit, which deals double damage. Roll 1d8 plus your Strength modifier for it, then multiply that by two." PC: "Woo! Okay; I rolled a 7. My Strength modifier is +2, so that's 9; doubled to 18. What happens to the goblin?" DM: "Your stroke slices clean through his abdomen, separating him into two halves. His eyes filled with disbelief, he looks up at you as his torso falls to the ground. His legs sway for a moment, then fall as well." Upgrade the process as you go, adding the more complex maneuvers like tripping, bull rushing, and (Gods help you both) grappling.

How do you get Dungeons and Dragons first edition?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The most likely places to find copies are eBay and used book stores. A few game stores, including some online retailers like Noble Knight Games, also sell out-of-print role-playing games.

A lot of out-of-print D&D products were available for purchase in PDF form online until Wizards of the Coast decided to abruptly pull all PDF sales after catching a group of pirates distributing a newly-released Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition book. It is no longer possible to legally give the copyright holders any money for old D&D products.

It's important to know what you want. There are three different games that could arguably be called "Dungeons and Dragons 1st edition": Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D) 1st edition (consisting of a large number of books and boxed sets published between 1977 and 1989), the original Dungeons & Dragons Basic Rules (a rule book and a boxed set including the rule book, both published in 1977) and the original Dungeons & Dragons game (a box with three rulebooks published in 1974), sometimes called the "Dungeons & Dragons Collectors Edition." AD&D material is widely available. The original Basic Rules are harder to come by. Original D&D rules sets are easy to find on eBay but usually go for somewhere over $500.

Who sells magic items in dungeons and dragons?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are speaking about the board game, then it is up to the game master to determine where you (the player) can attain magic items. usually the game master uses a merchant to sell you the item, however its more common for the item to be given to you in an indirect form, such as through a quest or killing a monster.

What happens when you level in Dungeons and Dragons?

User Avatar

Asked by Bluecoolman

It depends on what version of D+D you're playing. For the versions 3.5 here's what happens:

1. Your health points go up (roll your hit-dice and add the constitution modifier)

2. You gain a certain amount of skill points that you can spend based on your intelligence modifier

3. If this is your third level gain you get to pick a new feat

4. If this is your forth level gain you get to add one point to one of the main skills (Constitution, Intelligence, Charisma, so on)

5. Your saving throw bases will go up, consult your players guide for the new base.

6. Characters that can use spells can gain new spells, consult the players guide for how many

7. Other ability's may also go up so make sure to understand the player guide

In the tabletop game, most level 1 characters start out with 100 gold coins to spend on starter equipment, weapons, armor and supplies for adventuring. If you are starting higher than level 1, your DM may give you more gold at the start of things, so ask them to be sure.

Can you play Dungeons and Dragons By your self?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, actually! There're two ways. If you wanna try the tabletop version, follow the path of a story you want to play. As you go, dictate what happens. It helps if you write it down or record it somehow.

Follow a familiar storyline, if you're not creative with events. Play through as you would, but remove the damage rolls and everything complicated. Just roll to see if you hit, and such.

There's also D&D online, which is decent to play alone. You'll need a good computer, however, if you don't wanna wait two to three hours for everything to download.

In addition, in the 4th edition Dungeon Master's Guide, there's an entire section on how to create random dungeons and encounters. There's even some guidelines on what to do to adapt it for solo play.
