Raiding Dungeons and Slaying Dragons in Singapore
In case the title of this article didn’t make sense to you, it’s because I’m talking about Dungeons & Dragons, the fantasy tabletop role-playing game first developed in 1974.

Seek Out The Nearest Nerd
Correction – find at least 3 other nerds to play with. If you’re like me and find that your friends aren’t really into the idea of sitting around for hours pretending to be a fantastical creature, you’ve got to do a bit of digging. In my case, I asked around on Twitter, which then led me to Warhorn.net, an event management website for gamers. You can also check out speciality game stores such as Games@Pi, Battle Bunker and Battle Quarters. These places host D&D Adventurers League sessions – D&D’s current ongoing official campaign. Yep, this is serious business. Already signed up for your first-ever D&D session? Cool. Now comes the fun part.
