IC DnD [MINGLE]
Who: You
What: IC DnD? IC DnD!!
When: End-May
Where: Residential floor lounge area
Warnings: Potential discussion of monster murder and other PG13 rpg themes. Some Bard's also gonna try seducing every enemy, I can feel it. Please tag if other things come up!
[ Did someone say IC DnD? Chiaki’s got your back.
Those frequenting the dormitory lounge may find that she's transferred several books from the library. There are two different versions of the Dungeons and Dragons Handbook, and two more of some different universe’s equivalent- it's called ‘Cellars and Cryptids’, and involves some unusual rules like settling all player disputes with dance battles but yeah. The spirit is the same. Some supplies have been provided- paper and pencils mostly, a few blank character sheets, and a box full of Ridiculous Assortments Of Dice. Good luck trying to find a 20-sided one, how about a d9.36?
She's tried to do something for the visually impaired, but unfortunately the braille copy of ‘Dragons in the Dungeon’ that she found is not in fact a DnD guidebook, but some kind of trashy romance novel. Sorry. :(
Grab some friends and go on an adventure together!]

If it's not a different edition. Or system.
no subject
It'd be a good enough starting point, surely.
[He's not about to go and do something like read the rules himself, now.]
no subject
no subject
Those exist?
no subject
All sorts of strange dice, honestly...
no subject
[He's taken all the dice currently not in use hostage, so he knows.]
So, how do we play this thing?
no subject
It's weird because it's definitely not a typical short-form game. You take the role of a heroic-ish character and play them over many sessions, alongside the rest of a group, with a 'Dungeon Master' adjudicating the entire mess and creating the stories the rest of you seek to work your way through?
The dice come in for the details.
no subject
[He nods thoughtfully.]
So- what kind of hero-ish character do I get to be?
no subject
Usually, you pick one of a specified array of standardized-ish humanoid races to play as.
I'm a weird case. REALLY weird.

[Pidonus opens the Player's Handbook...]
Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, Humans, Dragonborn, Gnomes, Half-Elves, Half-Orcs, and Tieflings, it looks like. In this edition. Tieflings as a core race? Interesting choice...
no subject
Oh! I'll be a Dragonborn!
[Whatever those are.]
no subject
[Pidonus goes to the appropriate page in the book for Astolfo...]
no subject
Oh! I want to be a gold one, or a red one!
no subject
It's neat.
no subject
[IS THIS NOT THE COOLEST THING EVER?]
no subject
If you're with the right group of friends or strangers, it's a pretty good time.
Not that... I have a LOT of experience here. Just, my world's based on something like this and I'm trained to know the tropes of the stories.

[Pidonus does not lead things! She knows this!]
no subject
no subject
I'm a bard, I'm already risking overtaking scenes just by being my natural self. Make myself responsible for doing that?
Yeah. Probably less entertaining.
no subject
[That's what you do right.]
no subject
There's a lot of classic tales of that sort of thing in the game's format.
no subject
[He wants to carve out a new legend for himself.]
no subject
I have no idea how I'd handle that.
