Images: 'Dungeons & Dragons' goes online

Turbine Games, maker of the new online version of "Dungeons & Dragons," hopes to replicate the experience millions of people shared with the original paper-based game.

D&D Online is built around a fantasy space where players can join groups of strangers or friends and go on quests together.

D&D Online is the latest fantasy title in an increasingly crowded massively multiplayer online game space that includes "EverQuest," "Guild Wars" and "World of Warcraft."

Players of fantasy role-playing games like "Dungeons & Dragons" collect large numbers of books and magazines, like those pictured here, related to the games.
