Most, if not nearly all, serve no purpose beyond cluttering up a profile with electronic junk. Super Walls and Bouncy Balls and Hot or Nots.

And then came Dungeons & Dragons: Tiny Adventures.

It’s a promotional thing Wizards of the Coast and Facebook have teamed up on. You pick a character and class, and you go out on solo adventures, killing monsters, completing quests, and (most importantly) gathering up a sweet arsenal of weapons and armor.

What’s this doing on a ‘social’ website?

By inviting your friends, they become adventurers as well. While they can’t help you directly with your quests, what they can do is grant you enhancement bonuses to your abilities, and even heal you.

If you’re looking for a fun little timesink or an amusing and nerdy distraction while at work, you might want to check it out.
