First-time DnD player experiences an eye-opening session after discovering NPCs can lie to players in the game, proud host shares the story online: ‘Made me smile’

Everyone remembers the very first time they played Dungeons and Dragons. It's an exciting experience, considering everything it entails. But if you ask us, the one thing we remember the most vividly from our first session is how much it exceeded our expectations. Sure, you hear countless stories about how detailed and complicated this game can get, but you never understand it fully until you actually put it to the test yourself. And boy, does Dungeons and Dragons fill you with surprises at every single corner.

For the first-time Dungeons and Dragons player in the story below, the most surprising part was finding out that NPCs are not required to tell you the truth. Unlike most video games, where what the NPCs tell you is usually what you base your knowledge of the game on, that rule does not apply to DnD. Just like real people, they can tell you whatever they want, and you have to choose whether to believe them or not.

Oh, doesn't that make the game so much more thrilling?

We loved reading the story about this echanting DnD exeprience, so scroll down to read it for yourselves. After that, check out this story about a comic book employee getting payback.
