Are you interested in entering the world of Tabletop Roleplaying Games like Dungeons & Dragons? You can't play D&D without someone taking on the role of Dungeon Master.

While you don't get to have a player character yourself, DMing can be very fun in its own right, and you get to roleplay as a varied cast of characters, from gruff but helpful guards, to deceptive Thieves' Guild Kingpins, to menacing necromancers.
