I think it's fun hearing people talk about it but I think it'd be even better playing it for once :p Can anyone direct me to an online game of D&D,if possible? Maybe even a how to guide? I just want to bookmark so I have something to go back on. The only person that needs to know the rules, is really the DM. Character building is the complex part, and there are online creators/guides for that. As a player, you say what you want to do, and do literally anything. Say a quest guides you to a cave- you can simply reject that, leave, get on a boat, and go to a completely different landmass, only to set up a farm/store. It's quite literally a story you set up.

Rule #1 of D&D is that you can change the rules if you want, and it helps have fun.
