“D&D Insider and 4th Edition
D&D Insider will launch in June 2008 with the new Player’s Handbook, but is not required to play D&D 4th Edition; it simply provides extra options that you can unlock with the subscription. These digital tools are by no mean necessary to play the game, [...]

For librarians who want to run D&D or some other game as a library event, here are some considerations to keep in mind as you plan:
