This article examines Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) adventures as a genre to address game content, player agency, and reception. Specifically, Aristotle's Poetics serves as a starting point for the analysis of D&D adventures in order to think about the similarities between theatre and TTRPGs but also the nature and experience of tragedy and D&D adventures.
