We've all heard a story or watched a movie where we, at some point, thought "Why didn't they do this?" or "Why didn't they do that?" I know I have. Sometimes it's a point of absolute frustration when you're into a story of some kind and then the characters take some course of action when you're there watching them going "No, turn LEFT!!" It's an odd feeling when you catch yourself thinking that stuff, like you want to be in the story, able to influence it. Well, with D&D, that's exactly what you do.
In D&D, you create a character (more on that in the next blog). They can be whatever you want, more or less. Then, you use that character to interact with the story that the DM (or dungeon master) is telling you. An example of this could be a little like this:
Cast:
DM - Jim
Nazgor, the orc warrior - Dan
Kalvin, the human ranger - Lincoln
Jim: "Alright, you guys reach the forest. It's a dark and gloomy night. The moon casts subtle beams of light through the leaves, leaving small spots of light on the dark forest floor. You hear crickets somewhere out in the blackness beyond your vision and you smell the scent of wet leaves and dirt mixed with pine. You're at the forest entrance, what do you do?"
Dan: "I pull out my axe and charge ahead into the darkness!"
Lincoln: "I'm going to take a moment to light a torch so we can see as we walk through the forest. After that, I'll follow after Nazgor so he doesn't get lost."
Jim: "Alright, into the forest you go. As you walk into the forest, you get a feeling that something's just not right..."
And on the story would go.
The DM presents a scenario and the players, sitting at the table with him, interact with what he tells them. They can be anything from a fight to trying to find a lost kitten to having a drink in a tavern. Anything the imagination can conjure up!
Next time, we'll talk about how you make that character you can use to interact with those great stories your DM is going to be tellin' you!
Until next time, thanks for reading!

I just lost my man about three months ago though he is back again full of love and passion with the help of great man Dr. IKHIDE. I NORAH PEDRO from Norway, have been into a relationship with daniel mark since I was 22 years old and I am 28 now. I so much love him but I could not show the love, it was very difficult for me to prove my realness to him because I thought to prove my love to him might make him look down on me and go after other girls. for over six years Daniel has given me all that I ask of him. I always threatened him with break up each time I want to see his level of love for me because I was told if I threaten him, he will propose to me and then will get married to him before I can show my love despite his complains of him not sure of my love I was responding to him with negative words. though I was suspecting he has another girl in his life, I did not border to ask him about that because I was so sure of his love despite my attitude. on the 8th of September a day to my birthday he came and gave me so many lovely gifts like never before claiming to wish me a happy birthday in advance with his words and behavior I expected him to propose to me on my birthday night then I will also tell him of my pregnant for him. I wait for him on my birthday he did not show up not even a call, I tried his number and it was not going through I refuse to go check on him because the anger in me six days later I went to his house and I found nothing not even a sign of my Daniel once live there. I was disappointed, frustrated, confused with so many thoughts on my mind like hanging my self if I did not see him again because I can not my parent about the pregnancy when the man responsible for it had disappeared. our religion's against that, my family will be disappointed in me, I have brought them shame. I look for daniel everywhere till I could chat with him on social network, he warned me never to disturb him again because he already had found another girl that he wants to live his life with, after a while, he blocked me from all access then I could not tell him of my pregnancy for him. so, I needed help from all corners of life, I decide to check to google my self or read some write up on-site on how to coup with my pain because I could not tell anybody about it not even my friends were aware of my pregnancy. I keep reading to cancel my self till I find how Dr. IKHIDE helps so many persons from different walks of life with their testimonies. then I decide to also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com. Because I do not know much about contacting a spell caster, I was not sure he can bring my Dan back but I decide to give him a try though his requirement was another problem I meet with a friend for help because I could not the items that he needed I have to plead with Dr. IKHIDE to help me get the items because really need my man back to take away my shame. just two days after I send him the requirement Daniel calls me, plead for forgiveness. just yesterday he propose to me and I am so happy. you can also contact him with dr.ikhide@gmail.com
