Dungeons and Dragons is a tabletop roleplaying game originally published in 1974, back in ye olde days before the Internet was even a twinkle in the eye of Tim Berners-Lee.  Fast forward several decades, and here we are now, in the far future, with flying cars, laser spaceships, and the 5th edition of the rules for D&D.

We'll be running a one-shot adventure for absolute beginners, which means that you need to know nothing whatsoever about the game beforehand.  If you want to be helpful, you can bring a pencil and an eraser, but you do not need to bring anything else aside from your imagination and a willingness to have a good time!
