# The Basics
___
}}
Dungeons & Dragons is a game in which ou and your friends take on rolls and tell a shared story. While the *Player's Hand Book* teaches you how to play the game and how to create characters who are the heroes of the story, the *Dungeon's Masterguide* is written for the player who presides over the game and makes sure everyone is having fun. This player is the Dungeon Master, or DM. Being a Dungeon Master is a fun, empowering, and rewarding experience, and this chapter walks you through the basics.
{{note
##### Rules Glossary
If you read a rules term in this book and want to know its definition, consult the rules glossary, which is appendix C. This chapter provides an overview of how to play D&D and focuses on the big picture. Many places in this chapter reference that glossary.
}}
## Player or DM?
To play D&D, you need one person to be the Dungeon Master and other players (three to six are best) to play adventurers. Which role is right for you?
### Being a Player
If you want to be one of the protagonists in your group’s adventures, consider being a player. Here’s what players do:
**Make a Character.** :: Your character is your alter ego in the fantasy world of the game. After you read this chapter, use the rules in chapter 2 to create your character.
___
{{descriptive
**Team Up.** :: Your character joins the other players’ characters to form an adventuring party. These adventurers are allies who face challenges and fantastical situations together. Each character brings distinctive capabilities, which ideally complement those of the other characters.
**Venture Forth.** :: Your character’s group explores locations and events presented by the DM. You can respond to them in any way you can imagine, guided by the rules in this book. Although the DM controls all the monsters you encounter, the DM isn’t your adversary. The DM guides your party’s journey as your characters become more powerful.

## Bard Subclass Rip-off
I'll be totally honest here and say that, while I'd like to accurately copy and emulate what the 2024 DMG looks like on one of its pages, the DMG in particular looks *really* boring on a page-to-page basis. So, I've exactly copied the bard subclass from the 2024 PHB template. And you know what? I LIKE it this way.
