4. CONTEXT & HISTORY
   ● DnD is tabletop role-playing fantasy game.
   ● You and your friends sit around a table and pretend to be heroes on an epic
   adventure together.
   ● Correct, it happens only on our imagination.

9. DUNGEON MASTER (DM)
   ● Every DnD game is run by a DM - Dungeon Master (main storyteller).
   ● Their task is to create and describe the adventure that the heroes goes on
   giving them goals to accomplish and rewards to motivate them, while doing
   that seem exciting, fun and challenging.

10. HEROES
    ● The heroes job is to work together to survive those challenges and explore the
    world that the DM has created.
    ● The main goal in DnD isn’t to kill the other players, there is actually no winning
    in DnD. The main goal is to go on an adventure, and, in the meantime..have
    fun.

11. HEROES
    ● To create a hero, you need the Player’s Handbook.
    ● Using that the player should pick a race, and following that you also pick a
    class, which is you job.
    ● Since 2015, I am playing as a Druid Elf, Cher. The first character I’ve built from
    scratch.
    ● When decided, you fill the Character Sheet (which keeps track of your
    character), or, to make things easier - you can just get a prefilled character.

15. ...YOU START PLAYING ...
    … you start playing…
    … in 3 steps: describe, decided, roll.
    The DM describes what is happening;
    The heroes decide what they want to do;
    And then the player roll one dice the 20-sided dice to find out if the succeeded or
    failed. The higher you roll, the better.

17. IN A NUTSHELL
    In most games you are limited by the options you have: run this direction, fight this
    monster, save this princess which means…
    … that someone else wrote for you.
    In DnD what you do is totally 100% up to you. The DM has a start, something
    prepared, but he has no control of where this story will go, because the heroes
    decide what, when and how to continue. In some way, the heroes own the choices.
    DnD allows you to be someone different, and with that…
    … to surprise yourself.
