ALL NOVEL Loop 20 - Stan Tries D&D
“Alright, so I’ve seen you all play a lot. It’s basically theater but with dice right?” Stan asked.
“Pretty much dad, you can be any kind of class which is more or less your job and then we all build a story together as we play.” Camden answered.
“It’s important to note Stan, you don’t have to go heavy on role play, the mechanics are where the real fun is at.” Andy advised the large man.
“Never listen to Andy dad, he doesn’t like that my war hammer is named kibble or that my shield is named bits, but everyone else says it’s great!” Bug added enthusiastically. Andy groaned at her words.
“There’s a class just called fighter, I wanna try that. Oh they get access to basically all weapons and armor? That sounds perfect.” Stan was scanning the player’s handbook as he spoke.
“Dad, the real important thing here is you have fun, but also that you generally ignore Andy outside of rulings on specific mechanic interactions. He has those down pretty well. Now for everyone else, last time we left off you had convinced the were wombat of northern down under to stand aside and allow the cats to settle in the forest…” Cal started the session.
