About This Quote

In the world of D&D, at least there was a rule book. In role playing games, it is important to have a rule book to follow. In fact, it is very crucial so that you don’t get confused and make a mistake. There are certain rules which you have to follow so that your character can do what he or she should be able to do. When you play role playing games this way, you know where you stand and can be in control of your character. You can also accomplish your goals and finish the quest in the game.
