Well, I said this blog was about games, not just video games. My friend has a blog, which is linked on this page, in which he just talked about D&D in his last post, so he will most likely call me a copycat. While his post did inspire me to write about it, this will be different in nature than his. My purpose today is to tell people who may not know much about D&D, what it is, and maybe talk a little about what I've done in the game. D&D is a tabletop rpg which, in my opinion, is the most expansive rpg in the world, bar none. It's based on a d20 dice system. The d20 is used to roll on attack reflexes and pretty much everything. Based on your characters abilities, you may or may not add a specific number to your roll. The rules are too complex to go into all of them in this blog. The thing is, I love video games, and rpg games that are on them, but they don't have 1/25 of the content of D&D.
One of the things I like the most in D&D is the pure amount of spells in the game. I have a fighter/wizard in one game and my spell list is close to 200, and that is not even half of the spells in the game. And the best part is, there is something for everyone. A wizard can be the most versatile character in the game. With my character, there is pretty much no situation I can't handle because, don't forget, he's also a fighter, so he can handle up close fighting. The really awesome thing is that I specialize in fear. There is no one I can't make run from me if I choose to make him. I can even kill with fear.
This brings me to my next point, multi-classing. This is something that can't be done in most video game rpgs, except Elder scrolls, which is the best rpg out there, but that is another post. And even in that game, it is so limited compared to D&D. You can mix almost any two classes in the game, which is awesome. Shit, my women is yelling at me, time to go.
My next D&D post will be to bitch about fourth edition, which is the ruin of D&D. Bye.
