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. Oh I thought it was literally a rule based game,I didn't know it was more a free will kind of thing.Thank you so much for letting me know all of this! Most of the people I've talked to have always told me it's very complex and rule-based ;-;
