What if American politicians played Dungeons and Dragons
Have you ever played the Dungeons and Dragons role-playing game (RPG)? I remember the good old days when my friends and I “partied” differently. We would sometimes go for a couple of days without sleep, playing extended D&D campaigns.
For D&D fans, here’s an interesting “What if” for you – What happens when Obama, McCain and the rest of today’s US election campaign trail politicians go for a different kind of campaign? One with bugbears, goblins and dragons, that is.
Here’s somehedgehog’s funny take on this - Adventuring Party Politics: The Campaign is Getting Ugly
Here’s an excerpt:
GM: OK, the bugbear attacks you. What do you do?
OBAMA: I send one of my 672 henchmen after it.
MCCAIN: OK, seriously. Why does he have so many henchmen? I’m a level 72 ranger and he’s only a level 8 paladin.
Note: You won’t get it unless you’ve played D&D before or know who Gary Gygax, or what a Hand of Vecna is.
Cheers and happy reading! *fireball…*
