Q: What format should I play?
A: There are a few questions to ask. 1. What do my friends play?

Decks built based on different formats don't play well together, so figure out what rules your friends are following in terms of what cards are allowed and how many you're playing.

2. For constructed decks: 1V1 or group play?
The two best constructed formats for beginners are Standard and draft. Standard is 1V1 and it's good because it's reasonably cheap to get into. The power-level tends to be lower since it only uses the most recent sets, so it makes it easier to play.
Commander can be played 1V1 but is often played as a group. It's really fun if you like deck-building because the deck is made of unique cards and yo can regularly tweak it by swapping a card or two in or out without a devastating effect on the deck. Commander can be as competitive or casual as you like. 3. Limited tournaments - how much experiene do you have? Sealed tournaments let you build a deck from a set of booster packs for each tournament or league. Draft tournaments require more experience as you build your deck our of a shared card pool by picking a card from a pack and passing the pack continuing until there are enough cards to build a deck for that tournament.
Feel free to chat with us about the various formats and our favourite cards, we're always happy to chat!

Roleplaying games require problem solving, negotiation, and creativity in order to create a compelling adventure where the story is more important than the outcome.

D&D is the most popular RPG  in the world, and because of that it's the best place for most to dive into roleplaying games. All you need is a set of polyhedral dice, and a group of two or more people and you can play. We recommend the Starter Set to get going, or play one of our very popular Beginner's D&D games every wednesday night.

Q: How do I play right now? A:Online D&D signups are available here.

Other RPGs
