Deborah Ann Woll gave Jon Bernthal an engaging introduction to Dungeons & Dragons on his podcast, explaining character creation and gameplay in a fun and accessible way.
Woll’s approach focuses on storytelling and immersing players in the world rather than overwhelming them with character sheets and rules, making D&D more appealing to newcomers.
The video highlights the universal appeal of D&D, where both Hollywood stars and regular players can connect and enjoy the game together.

This was a really great approach. I used to do similar, but with people who were already players. One of my friends in high school would constantly want to be role playing. At a band concert? Let’s play a scene. Between classes? Another scene. 10 extra minutes at lunch? Time for a scene. After my other players found out he was doing this, they would find me for bonus role playing too.

Now I own an LGS, and I still give this a try next time someone asks me about d&d or other rpg.
