MUNCIE, Ind. — Dungeons and Dragons has been around for a very long time. Since its growing popularity in the early 80’s, a new generation of players has taken over, even seeing a rise in the Muncie Community.
The D20 Dungeon is a fully immersive gaming experience, a place where players can come and escape the real world.
“This is a fully immersive experience, I don't want you to be thinking about anything going on outside of this building the moment you cross the threshold. I want you to be in the world you want to be in,” Lucius, the owner, said.
When the hit show Stranger Things finally came to an end, the D&D outbreak was almost immediate.
“I think DND has been popular for a very long time, I think it just kind of made it easier for people to say hey I could come out and say that I like that without being labeled as a geek or a nerd,” Lucius said.
Dungeons and Dragons is a game that completely relies on imagination and creativity. It is all up to the players to create the world that they want to play in.
“I used to think it was a nerdy game where you roll dice and things are random, then a guy tells you what is happening, but in reality it is the most immersive way to storytell without anything but your voices,” Thomas, D20’s social media marketer, said.
While also prioritizing accessibility for all players, no matter how much you know about the game.
“A lot of the pricing for it is meant to be so entry level like a small group can easily afford it,” Thomas said.
