D&D

          Dungeons and Dragons is a role-playing game that requires story telling and imagination. Set in the Dark Ages, groups of heroes travel the lands in search of adventure and gold. A toss of the dice can send you into the open mouth of a dragon or into the den of an ancient wizard.
          Samuel Long, Nic Breiding, and Jeremy Baldwin-Powers have been the only ones brave enough to venture into the land of Andover so far. Do you have the guts?
