In this episode of RPG Blokes, the team dives into the world of Dungeons & Dragons—often called the perfect starting point for newcomers to tabletop RPGs.

Stephen, the D&D veteran, shares insights from playing every edition since the 80s, while John highlights how the polished resources make the game approachable. Barry, with five years’ experience, reflects on overcoming the nerves of stepping into the Dungeon Master role.

The team explores D&D’s 50-year heritage, the visual appeal of its books, and its rise in pop culture thanks to shows like Stranger Things. They discuss how D&D inspires creativity across literature, film, and gaming, and how its modular rules balance simplicity for beginners with depth for veterans.

Combat, magic systems, character creation, and the thrill of levelling up all get attention, alongside the community spirit D&D fosters through local groups and online forums.

With personal stories and practical advice, the episode captures what makes D&D not just a game, but a cultural phenomenon that keeps welcoming new generations of players.
