How to play Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia
To start playing Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia, you first need a group of players, one of whom will be the Game Master (GM). The GM is responsible for narrating the story, describing the settings and playing the NPCs (Non-Player Characters).
Players create characters by choosing a class, such as warrior, mage, thief or cleric. Each class has specific skills, strengths and weaknesses. They must roll dice to determine statistics such as Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma.
The game requires the use of polyhedral dice: D4, D6, D8, D10, D12 and D20. Players roll these dice to determine the success or failure of actions during the game, such as attacks, endurance tests and specific skills.
The GM creates adventures or uses pre-existing modules, guiding players through challenges, puzzles and combats. The characters' actions are described by the player and resolved by rolling dice and using rules.
Characters advance through experience gained, usually by completing adventures or defeating enemies, allowing them to level up, gain new skills and improve their stats.
All information about characters, items and campaigns is recorded on character sheets and campaign documents, which help to maintain the continuity and coherence of the game.
