The wargames from which Dungeons & Dragons evolved used miniature figures to represent combatants. D&D initially continued the use of miniatures in a fashion similar to its direct precursors. The original D&D set of 1974 required the use of the Chainmail miniatures game for combat resolution. [63] By the publication of the 1977 game editions, combat was mostly resolved verbally. Thus, miniatures were no longer required for game play, although some players continued to use them as a visual reference. [64]

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition was published in 1989, [73] again as three core rulebooks; the primary designer was David "Zeb" Cook. The Monster Manual was replaced by the Monstrous Compendium, a loose-leaf binder that was subsequently replaced by the hardcover Monstrous Manual in 1993. In 1995, the core rulebooks were slightly revised, although still referred to by TSR as the 2nd Edition, [93] and a series of Player's Option manuals were released as optional rulebooks. [73]

In 1981, the basic version of Dungeons & Dragons was revised by Tom Moldvay to make it even more novice-friendly. It was promoted as a continuation of the original D&D tone, whereas AD&D was promoted as advancement of the mechanics. [14] An accompanying Expert Set, originally written by David "Zeb" Cook, allowed players to continue using the simpler ruleset beyond the early levels of play. In 1983, revisions of those sets by Frank Mentzer were released, revising the presentation of the rules to a more tutorial format. These were followed by Companion (1983), Master (1985), and Immortals (1986) sets. [90] [91] Each set covered game play for more powerful characters than the previous. [92] The first four sets were compiled in 1991 as a single hardcover book, the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia, which was released alongside a new introductory boxed set. In the Thomas Harris novel The Silence of the Lambs, Clarice makes a descent into Gumb's basement dungeon labyrinth in the narrative's climactic scene, where the killer is described as having an oubliette.

There are plenty of other published worlds to explore as well, including adventures to be had in other planes of existence. In addition to the material realms, there are the elemental planes of fire, water, earth, and air. The Feywild serves as a fantastical reflection of the material world, while the Shadowfell stands as its dark echo. As you dive into your D&D journey, you may find yourself in these lands and more.

Usually found under medieval castles or abbeys, they were used by villainous characters to persecute blameless characters.

When the DM has described a setting and any given challenges, the players will describe the things their characters do. The DM will then determine what the implications of the player's actions are. They may be asked to roll dice to see if they succeed, or allow them to narrate the action and allow the story to continue. The player’s roll is usually modified based on the skills in their character sheet. DMs also roll dice if the narrative calls for it, such as for NPCs, monsters, or traps.
