CHAPTeR 1

Most games
have a winner and a loser, but
the Dungeons & Dragons Roleplaying Game is
fundamentally a cooperative game. The Dungeon
Master (DM) plays the roles of the antagonists in the
adventure, but the DM isn’t playing against the player
characters (PCs). Although the DM represents all the
PCs’ opponents and adversaries—monsters, nonplayer
characters (NPCs), traps, and the like—he or she
doesn’t want the player characters to fail any more
than the other players do. The players all cooperate
to achieve success for their characters. The DM’s goal
is to make success taste its sweetest by presenting
challenges that are just hard enough that the other
players have to work to overcome them, but not so
hard that they leave all the characters dead.
At the table, having fun is the most important
goal—more important than the characters’ success
in an adventure. It’s just as vital for everyone at the
table to cooperate toward making the game fun for
everyone as it is for the player characters to cooperate
within the adventure.
This chapter includes the following sections.
✦
The Gaming Group:
Here you learn what
components you need to play the D&D game.
✦
The Players:
Understand your players, help
them to assemble as a successful party of player
characters, and run a game they want to play.
✦
The Dungeon Master:
Understand the role of a
DM in the game and what kind of game you want
to make.
✦
Table Rules:
Consider table rules you should
agree on—guidelines for you and the players’
behavior during the game.
