Dungeons and Dragons
 
The game of Dungeons and Dragons has been very popular since the 1980's and has recently seen a revival of interest since the rerelease of the Third Edition of the game by Wizards of the Coast.
 
     
 
The game takes place in the players' heads with the aid of conversation and dice. It allows the unbridled use of the players' imaginations in the cooperative creation of worlds of fantasy.
 
     
 
In the past year there has been a monumental jump in the integration of the pen and paper role-playing game and the computer role-playing game. The best example of this integration is NeverWinter Nights. NeverWinter Nights is a thriving on-line community of gamers using computers as tools to play a greatly enhanced version of Dungeons and Dragons.
 
     
 
There are also other ways that one can use the computer to assist in the playing of Dungeons and Dragons. A quick Yahoo or Google search will turn up a number of great resources.
