PROVO — Players of all ages donned their elf ears, capes and armor to roll the dice in their favor Saturday, as more than 1,000 sought to break the Guinness World Record for the largest Dungeons and Dragons game ever played."I've always wanted to host the biggest game of Dungeons and Dragons, but that was just kind of a silly dream," event organizer Andrew Ashby said.
Participants play Dungeons and Dragons during an official attempt to break a Guinness World Record on Saturday at Provo Towne Centre. There was very little advertising for Saturday's event — the majority of the people who came heard about it by word-of-mouth. Ashby said he couldn't have done it without all the support from participants.Each table had a dungeon master and represented an area of a battlefield. All the tables worked together to defeat the campaign's villain, Vecna, and his undead army.
"The energy has been electric. People are shouting, people are cheering, people were booing me when I told them the wall fell. I love that!" Levine said. She and the other generals were dressed up and wandered between tables to act as moderators helping to keep things orderly and connected across the entire "battlefield."
Eastman said in the past few years, Dungeons and Dragons has become more accepted rather than being viewed as just a classic '80s movie nerd game.
