Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a venerable pen-and-paper roleplaying game using dice and miniatures, first published in 1974. Although it was originally marketed for college-aged players, it’s experiencing a massive cultural resurgence and is becoming popular with younger and younger adventurers. In Dungeons & Dragons, adventurers often explore dungeons and defeat monsters in a cooperative setting, working together to solve puzzles and discover secrets. The basic game is freely available and can be adapted to suit any group of players, ages, and interest levels, although the dice elements mean it’s often best suited to players ten or 11 and up.

There is no better way to soak up the fall colors than an urban trek, a picnic in the wilds, and a tasty post-walk pit stop at a cozy cafe. Let’s walk!
