Dungeons b/w Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons (commonly abbreviated as D&D or DnD) is a tabletop role-playing game. Using a sword-and-sorcery setting, players create their own characters and role-play through adventures designed by the Dungeon Master player. Many of its elements, such as complex character sheets and many-sided dice, have become standards of role-playing games; D&D has become highly linked with geek culture.
In Homestar Runner, D&D is most often referenced with relation to the fantasy world of Peasantry or the eponymous D n' D Greg. Multiple games use a title format derivative of D&D's distinctive alliterative name.
