Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeons & Dragons is the tabletop game that taught the world how to imagine adventures together, and its influence on video games is almost impossible to overstate. The Forgotten Realms ruleset became the engine for some of the most celebrated RPGs ever made: the Baldur's Gate saga, the philosophical Planescape: Torment, the Icewind Dale games, and the Neverwinter Nights line that handed players the tools to build their own campaigns. Baldur's Gate III brought the whole tradition roaring back into the mainstream.

Beyond games, D&D has always lived across media, from the 1983 animated series to the films, culminating in the genuinely fun Honor Among Thieves. The art books and crossover comics round out a property that is less a single story than a shared language for fantasy. What unifies it all is the dice, the dungeon master, and the idea that a rulebook can be a doorway.

The Dungeons & Dragons franchise spans 1 series, 2 books, 40 games, 4 movies in the CrossBinge catalog.
