How to Play Dungeons and Dragons Online

Way back in 1973, Tactical Studies Rules (TSR) came out with a little game called Dungeons and Dragons. Who could have known it would catch on so well? Six years later, TSR released the first editions of the Advanced D&D books - new and improved D&D, if you will. Now you can play it on the Net and it's serious stuff.
