How to Play Dungeons & Dragons

Step by Step Guide for Beginners

De: Charles Goodwill

Narrado por: Katy Paulson

In many ways, there has never been a better time to get into Dungeons & Dragons. More people are playing the game now than ever before, and along with that expanded player base has come a wealth of new ideas and content that, thanks to the internet, can be easily disseminated amongst the player base.

It excites me to see so many people I would never have expected to have an interest in this incredibly nerdy hobby not only give it a try, but find that it can be more than a fun pastime that provides them with momentary escapism, and can actually add value and meaning to their life and relationships. It is my hope that this is your experience with this game, as it has been mine.

Now get out there. Adventure is waiting.

want to play

wish I had her as my first DM, I ended up getting kicked out do to an anxiety attack and cause I did have discord. but I hope to be able to play

editions

I believe this release is great but it should have talked more about the differences between the different editions of Dungeons and Dragons. especially on how to play the different editions and how to blend the modules to other editions of Dungeons and Dragons. Otherwise this was very informative. Thank you from a 30+ years player.

I guess it's good for beginners?

pretty sure it's an AI reading. I don't know any human that uses those kind of inflections while speaking. alright for a very basic understanding.

A good primer

I haven’t played Dungeons & Dragons in 20 years, and this book was an effective summary of everything I’ve missed. I thought yet another book about the game would just complicate matters, but this is a good guide to what you need to buy and what you need to know. I got a little lost in some of the chapters dealing with arithmetic and calculations, which I don’t think translate well to audio, but I’m sure I can pick that up at the table. I enjoyed the narration and would certainly listen to another book by this voiceover artist.

Detailed yet Simple Instructions to play

This is a comprehensive and complete guide for beginners to learn how to play the popular yet mysterious game of Dungeons and Dragons.  Well explained this is a must-have for all beginners looking to learn and experience the game.

The author, Charles Goodwill, provides a simple step-by-step guide on how to play, the reason behind the game, and how to have fun! Clearly laid out, the instructions are engaging and informative.

The narrator, Katy Paulson provides the narration of the guide in pleasant soothing tones making the instructions clear to understand. She spoke clearly and with enthusiasm.

The instructions were well delivered with clarity.

There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.

the narrator almost ruins it

the book is fine, but the narrator sounds like a preschool teacher. almost unbearable

A good start

This is not meant to explain everything to do with D&D, rather it's meant to help you feel comfortable joining a D&D campaign for the first time. it does a good job at this!

awesome stuff

I have been playing since the late 70s and I loved this book. it very well done and I highly recommend it

A fun how to play book

As a D&D player since the early days of 1976. I will say that I got reminded about the early years of D&D, and learned more about the current version. I highly recommend the book.

Helpful primer, odd narrating style

I found the content of the book very helpful as an overview before I dip my toe in the water with the players handbook. It was also helpful for determining whether my kids are too young to play dungeons and dragons at their current ages.

One constructive comment regarding this title for future editions: The narrating style did not follow a conversational tone. Rather, it sounded bright and sunny like an infomercial, or maybe just that the narrator had not tried other ways to say a given sentence. It certainly was not a barrier to listening to the book, just felt a little odd.
