My DM once gave me a cursed sword that required me to kill a humanoid daily.
It then devolved into side bars where we had to negotiate taking a kingdom’s prisoners with us in the hold of a boat on our mission to save the queen or whatever. For murder sword food.
Still one of my favorite campaigns. I do think he regretted giving me an excuse to derail his campaign to go murder-hoboing, though.
That’s actually a really great introduction to D&D! It’s basically the same thing, except the voice actors are terrible IRL, and the graphics take place in the theater of the mind. But you have a lot more freedom to be creative and veer off track, which can be amazing.

I’ve never actually played. I hope to someday. The closest I’ve gotten is BG3 which isn’t saying a lot.
