Gather a group of players and choose one Dungeon Master
Create characters using a race, class, background, abilities, and equipment
The Dungeon Master describes the world, scenes, and challenges
Players say what their characters do
The Dungeon Master decides when a roll is needed

Compare the result to a target number or an opponent’s roll
Succeed or fail based on the result
Take turns in combat using initiative order
On your turn, move and take an action, and sometimes a bonus action
Use spells, attacks, skills, and items according to the rules
Track hit points, conditions, and resources
Continue the story through exploration, conversation, and combat
