In an age where screen time is synonymous with free time, tabletop gaming surrounded by friends is making a comeback.
, frequent pop culture references and – above all else – an accessible game, the D&D community is thriving and eager to roll initiative again.Dungeons & Dragons certainly isn’t new. The game’s first edition launched in 1974, and groups of friends have been led through adventures by storytelling Dungeon Masters ever since.
But, at its core, D&D is about collaborative storytelling with friends. That spirit was captured in the creation of the fifth edition following a slump brought on by previous editions that led to in-community fighting, Stewart said.“I think everybody who works here at Dungeons and Dragons take the role of steward really seriously,” Stewart said. “It was such an old, beloved brand at the time, and it was kind of falling on some troubled times.
“Every time you put in a rule that took away from friends getting together and telling stories, we were kind of going against the core ethos,” Stewart said.
