It may not feature Bargle the Infamous, but this free choose-your-own-adventure game makes a fun intro to D&D all the same.
back in 1983 or thereabouts you may well have done so with the D&D Basic Set, a red box that included a solo choose-your-own-adventure to introduce the basics of the Basic rules. That adventure's star NPCs, Aleena the cleric and Bargle the Infamous, are still fondly remembered by an entire generation of roleplayers today., no relation to the Life is Strange prequel, which you can play in a browser.
Those rules are taught simply enough, each character described with a handful of ability scores given as bonuses to die rolls , a list of skills they're proficient in, and a hit point total. Details like name and gender are left to your imagination, but each character has a different background and gets to go on a separate quest in the city of Neverwinter.
While the rogue practices stealth and infiltration as a member of the local thieves guild, the cleric struggles against corruption within the city watch, the paladin intervenes in a street crime, and so on. Ability checks and attack rolls result in a d20 tumbling across the screen, and a combination of awful rolls and deliberately choosing terrible options because they sounded like fun meant my fighter playthrough devolved into absolutely chaotic scenes.
Shortly after that I found myself in a swashbuckling ship-board duel with a pirate, each action described with a good Dungeon Master's flair. I expected the fighter to be a bit boring, but after playing all five characters they ended up the most enjoyable, though the rogue's life of crime was fun too. The paladin's storyline left me feeling a bit short-changed by comparison, ending abruptly when it had only just begun, though that may be due to the options I chose.
At the end of the adventure you're rewarded with a trio of achievements illustrated in the same pleasant cartoon style as the locations and NPCs, as well as a note of how many hit points you made it to the end with and whether you were knocked out at any point along the way. The link to download the image unfortunately returns a broken version full of blanks at the moment, so you'll need to screenshot it manually if you want to keep a memento.
