FEATURES DUNGEON MASTER OF FHN
by Noah Tucker
Terry Schmitt is a sophomore at FHN and belongs to a small group of people at North who play Dungeons and Dragons. D&D is a game where a DM, or Dungeon Master, props the game, decides the setting and builds the world. Anything that a player doesn’t directly affect is the Dungeon Master’s job to manipulate.

“It’s like the Dungeon Master sets the table and the players make the food,” Schmitt said.
Schmitt was first introduced to D&D by his parents, who played when they attended FHN. He first started playing himself when he met another D&D player at school.
“I’m currently playing in three [games], as well as DMing my own, but there are two that I’ve done before that,” Schmitt said.
D&D games can go on for quite a long time, with official campaigns often taking up to 80 hours of playtime. This amount of time is a commitment and the rules can throw new players off.
“D&D can be really difficult to get into, just because there’s so many stats and numbers that you have to calculate in creating a character and a world. So I would recommend using a website like D&D Beyond or just watching videos beforehand,” Schmitt said.
Schmitt strongly recommends D&D to new people, as it can bring people together for a fun and entertaining experience.
“It’s such a fun way to make new friends and hang out with current friends,” Schmitt said.
