What is needed to play Dungeons and Dragons?
The only items required to play the game are the rulebooks, a character sheet for each player, and a number of polyhedral dice (a set of standard D&D dice includes: d4, d6, d8, d12, d20, and two d10s for percentile: ones and tens), although there are many optional items which can be used to supplement or enhance the gaming experience, such as pre-designed adventures and campaign settings. Special gameboards or cloth mats are sometimes used to visually depict the situations in the game, and miniature figures can be used to provide a three-dimensional representation of the characters.
