First Edition D&D was published 1974 as a box set with only a few elements we know in todays games. First off there was only four races (Human, Dwarf, Elf and Hobbit). with those there was only three classes (Fighter-man, Magic-user, and Cleric) no joke thoose were the names, anyway when the table top game relesed the comunity was assumed to play the miniature war game Chainmail to undrstand how to use the combat system that the game played with. But eventually there was a new sole combat system made in later game versions. There was a flaw in the rules because there was no overview of the game so it was difficult to know how to play the game without prior knowledge on how it was supposed to work.
Then they came out with an update (Gray Hawk) which removed the Chainmail rules and made it much easier for new players to grasp the consept of the game, which also added a growth of competing publishers. Players that understood the rules before knew how to play this vesion because the rules were simplified.
THere were many more updates to relese such as ( GreyHawk, Blackmoor, Eldritch Wizardry and Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes.) Published over the next two years, expanded th rules to more options. Characters, Classes, Monsters and Spells.

D&D Introduction
Because D&D had a long history of changes and modifications on the game play. D&D is a table top game usualy played with Four or more people with one objective, to beat the story line made by th DM ( Dungeon Master ). A table top game is a groupe of people around a table with there character sheets and mini figures of there character playing the quest that the DM has made, there is little visuals but the cool part of it is that, YOU can visualise it your self on how the area is explaned. The role of the DM is to create a cool and interesting quest for the players within the rules of course, they also create the monsters, area, obstacles, and people you meet.
In Dungeons and Dragons there are cool dice that choose how much damage you do to an enemy or if you hit him at all. theses dice are chosen by the weapon you use on your enemy, what move you do and what race you choose to play as.
Races in D&D can variey on how you want to play, with all of the races there are advantiges an disadvantiges. Also there are multiple classes you can choose from with there own weapons and spells if allowed (w/ Class).
