The tabletop game allows players to create their own unique characters and have them embark on adventures led by a storyteller and referee called the “Dungeon Master.”
Manganiello says he regularly plays and hosts sessions of “Dungeons and Dragons”. He and his brother say they hope Tuesday’s game will inspire others to learn the game. KM
