Movie Scene or Dungeons and Dragons campaign?
If you’re like me, and constantly scrolling down the dashboard of Tumblr in your free time, or to be more accurate, all the time, chances are that you’ll see some wild post that will make you completely rethink your perspective on life. For me, that post occurred on a fateful day one month ago, where it raised the question...What if the Shrek movies were in fact a Dungeons and Dragons campaign gone horribly fantastically out of control? It all spiralled on from there. Suddenly, Channing Tatum’s Caine from Jupiter Ascending was a disgraced Shifter Fighter created by someone who dared the rest of the campaign to call them out on a potential furry fetish. How to Get Away with Murder was the work of a frustrated Dungeon Master whose chaotic evil players kept hijacking the campaign to kill each other off. And of course, the entire first episode of Yuri on Ice was one failed perception and action check after another. Now seeing it’s nearing the end of semester, why not kick back and relax with a little guessing game of Movie Scene or Dungeons and Dragons campaign scenario?
If you’re completely new to Dungeons and Dragons, here’s all you need to know: it’s a game of chance based on roleplay, luck, and dice rolls (with a lot of different die), there are a lot of different races and classes, and you can learn certain things at certain levels depending on your race and class, and that you have to roll for certain actions, attacks, or for “checks” on your environment/material/other players/non-player characters, such as perception, stealth etc.. Also Nat 20 is the highest dice roll you can make on a 20 sided die, while Nat 1 is the lowest. Without further ado, here we go! Answers will be at the very bottom!
