The Real Ones podcast with Jon Bernthal had a charming moment where guest Deborah Ann Woll teaches Bernthal the basics of playing Dungeons & Dragons.
Deborah Ann Woll gave Jon Bernthal an engaging introduction to Dungeons & Dragons on his podcast, explaining character creation and gameplay in a fun and accessible way.
Woll’s approach focuses on storytelling and immersing players in the world rather than overwhelming them with character sheets and rules, making D&D more appealing to newcomers.
The video highlights the universal appeal of D&D, where both Hollywood stars and regular players can connect and enjoy the game together.
This was a really great approach. I used to do similar, but with people who were already players. One of my friends in high school would constantly want to be role playing. At a band concert? Let’s play a scene. Between classes? Another scene. 10 extra minutes at lunch? Time for a scene. After my other players found out he was doing this, they would find me for bonus role playing too.
Now I own an LGS, and I still give this a try next time someone asks me about d&d or other rpg.
FFS. "Dice" is plural. Unless, the entire game system itself was spawned from a singular "dungeon" and a singular "dragon", of course? Your move. 🤦🏽♂️
That's some idiot morphology right there. Fuckin' literacy rates giving out Participation trophies, FFS. What could go wrong?
FYI, kiddos†: Dictionaries are historical records, not current listings of usage standards (much less logic). If you are fine with sounding/presenting like an idiot, you're week well within your rights to do so. That wholly personal choice will not have much effect on pluralization of an exceedingly simple word in English — unless modern civilization crumbles and you & your kin are left to repopulate it, of course. 😶
They just called the 5e charactersheet "overwhelming" wuth its, like, 8 numbers on it, and suggested players don't need to know pesky things like "rules", but you're going off on dice?
