'''DND1''' is a game available to play inside of {{SotA}} by using the [[Teletype]]. This text-based game was originally created by [[Richard Garriott]], and ported by Richard Fleming for '''Lord British's Royal Challenge'''.

==Gameplay==
{{Under Construction}}
Upon starting the game, the Teletype will display '''DUNGEONS & DRAGONS #1''', then ask if you need instructions. Enter YES or Y to get help for the game, or any other response to continue.

Select a '''DUNGEON #''', which is used to create the dungeon, choose if '''MONSTERS LEVEL UP ON RESET''', and then you can begin your character creation.

===Character Creation===
The character's stats are randomly generated. You can choose to be a FIGHTER, CLERIC or WIZARD, or to REROLL your stats.

Once your character is created and a profession selected, you will enter the weapons shop.

''Under Construction''

==Development==
DND1 was a free-time project of Richard Garriott, inspired by [[wikipedia:Dungeons & Dragons|Dungeons & Dragons]]. He wrote it in 1977 while in high school. It was coded using BASIC, and most of it was written on punched tapes fed into the school's [[wikipedia:PDP 11|PDP-11]] computer, using a teletype as the output to print the game screen as it changed.

Two years later, Garriott's successor to this game (DND28) was ported to an Apple II computer as D&D28b, which added dungeons in 3D from a first person perspective and became his first commercial game, [[Ultima:Akalabeth|Akalabeth]].<ref>{{RefWeb | author=Maher, Jimmy | webSite=The Digital Antiquarium | webLink=http://www.filfre.net/ | pageName=Lord British | pageLink=http://www.filfre.net/2011/12/lord-british/ | date=2011-12-12 | accessDate=2013-05-15 }}</ref>
