Dungeons and Data Science, or D&D.Sci, is a series of analytical exercises played on Less Wrong, frequently framed as problems in a D&D style adventuring world.
D&D.Sci exercises give players a synthetic dataset but not the rules used to generate it: players must extrapolate patterns from the data in order to optimize the solution to some problem. After each exercise there is usually a follow-up post which explains the underlying rules of the scenario and gives a score to each player who participated at the time.

This should be a sequence rather than a tag. Surprised it’s not already a sequence, actually.
I also think this should be a sequence. I haven’t looked about how to make it one.
I have just found out that I completely missed one of the sets. I have also just found out that I can subscribe to tags.
I made a Sequence for my replayable challenges, but think we should keep the tag. That way people wanting to make posts about D&D.Sci will have something to tag them with.
Chiming in later to say that I think the tag should stay, especially now that multiple people are doing them. Compare “Rationality Quotes” and “Open Threads” for other tags that could be accused of just being sequences.
