The sixth thing that I love about Dungeons and Dragons is the co-operative imagination required. The interesting thing about the game is that it relies almost entirely on the imagination. In that way, it is a very childish thing. It is like a story unfolding inside your head as you read it.
Except that it is better than that – the story is infolding inside the heads of all the players around the table at the same time. It is like a movie, except that there is no film screen – just imagination. And when it is going right, you are all inhabiting the same space inside your heads. You are all creeping together along the same dark and damp tunnel towards the room where the dragon sits on top of its pile of gold.
