Dungeons & Dragons Basic Game
Encyclopedia : D : DU : DUN : Dungeons & Dragons Basic Game
The Dungeons & Dragons Basic Game is an introductory version of Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game packaged in the form of board game. The game was released in 2004 by Wizards of the Coast and was designed by Jonathan Tweet, one of the Dungeons and Dragons 3rd edition designers.
It is a cut down, simplified version that is still fully compatible with the current v3.5 full Dungeons & Dragons game. Characters used in this game can be easily expanded for use in the full game, if players so desire. The game is designed to be able to be played with minimal preparation. Players choose one of the already designed character sheet and corresponding miniature, and need only read the Quick Start rules to start play. The Dungeon Master needs only to read the First Adventure book in addition the Quick Start Rules.
Once the First Adventure has been played the Advanced rules contains everything need to create and equip new characters and play adventures with them at first and second level. This book contains 4 classes, 4 races, some equipment, and spells, while hinting at the fuller selection of each available in the full game. It also contains an extension of the First Adventure that should allow players to reach at least second level and monsters and suggested maps so the Dungeon master can start designing his own further adventures.
