re: Anyone here ever play Dungeons and Dragons? (DnD)

I love tabletop RPGs. I had a group for about 5 years but not currently playing. Having an experienced DM is a plus, just to sort of set the tone and know what's going on. Definitely not essential, but be prepared to spend time sorting out things (I played 4e last which was crazy complex wirh combat. I understand 5e is much less so). When all else fails, just let the DM make a ruling and move on rather than rule mongering. DnD is really making a comeback. I have acquaintances from 40 something upper class subarbanites to teenage gamer geeks playing currently which is kind of cool. I think Catan and a lot of the Euro style games have served as a gateway as well as Stranger Things and other 70s/80s nostalgia movements.
