The Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game is not played on a board. This is a common misconception. As a role-playing game, D&D is actually played with nothing more than a couple rulebooks, pencils and paper, some polyhedral dice, and your wit, imagination, and sense of adventure.

Not only do hobby and gaming stores carry fourth edition D&D resources, but I can almost guarantee that your local chain bookstore (Barnes & Nobel, Borders, Waldenbooks, etc.) will have at least the basic books in stock.

To start, you'll want the Player's Handbook. Someone in your group will need to run the game and be referee ("Dungeon Master" or "DM"), and that person will need the Dungeon Master's Guide and the Monster Manual, as well.

Generally, a store that carries one of these books will also carry the other two, or at the very least will be able to order them for you.

The books generally go at about $40 a piece these days, unfortunately. I would suggest looking for a box set of the three. You'll find them both used and unused online for cheaper than in most stores.

I also suggest checking out Wikipedia's article on the game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_and_dragons). It might help you better grasp the game's concept and design.

Where can you play Dungeons dragons online?

"no" is an utterly ridiculous answer. Whoever put that should have done more research, as all you have to do is google "Dungeons and Dragons Online" and you will find a multitude of links to ddo.com. That stands for Dungeons Dragons Online, for those who see this and were wondering.Updated 2/28/2011 (Duvik didn't write anything above this line)I don't think the original question is referring to the MMORPG known as DDO. I think he is asking how to play traditional style dungeons and dragons online. The original Pen and Paper Roleplaying game that is now in its fourth iteration.So, the best answer to that version of the question is...Anyone can play pen and paper style Dungeons and Dragons online for free at The Tangled Web.www.thetangledweb.netThey use Virtual Game Tables like OpenRPG and Maptool in order to roll dice, display maps, display miniatures, chat, and create character sheets.

How do you get Dungeons and Dragons first edition?

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.
