Dungeons and Dragons Rules

[Byrne]

I am a newbie in the DnD universe. Can someone tell me the rules?

 

[Libk]

where would you like me to begin? what edition are you thinking of?

 

[Byrne]

fourth edition. What do I need and how do you play? There is a group in my school that plays it. Should I join them?

If you want to play D&D then join them.^^ They might ask you how to play. Here's how to play 4th edition:

OK, But what do I need to play?

You'll need various dice, and some sort of figures to represent your characters would be ideal but honestly you could use anything to represent them. You'll each need to print out character sheets, you can find them easily on line. It would be smart of you to buy the manuals (monster manual, dm guide, player's handbook etc). You'll need a dungeon master, obviously, to create the world and quests. And honestly i wouldnt freak out about the rules. When I play we do a lot of improvisation based on what seems fair, its a better system then sticking closely to the rules. Remember, this is a paper and pencil rpg, not a video game, so technically whatever you guys say goes.

Have fun!

Alright, I don't understand the attack rules and the skills and how to make your character.
