Summary
A friend bought a D&D box set for her kids and asked me to explain how to play over a coffee. Easier said than done. In this video I argue that the best way to learn Dungeons & Dragons isn't reading the rulebook — it's sitting at a table and playing. I break down what the game actually is at its heart, why the rules can feel so overwhelming, and how a simple one-shot session can hook a brand new player far better than any handbook ever will.
