I spent the afternoon doing my favorite form of outreach–bringing students to the church to hang out and play D&D. This afternoon we had an encounter with a blue dragon. It was the first dragon encounter for everyone in the group so the lightning breath weapon (and the massive amount of damage it makes) shocked them all. (I guess I subconsciously intended that pun). After some creative use of action points and our monk gouging out the dragon’s eye they were able to finally subdue it. In my opinion that’s not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
(I guess I have fully embraced what type of minister I really am)
This is all with a pair of dice and some paper, right? I don’t think I’ll ever understand role-playing games.
It isn’t played with a pair of dice. It is played with a cool set of polyhedral dice that includes dice with 20, 12, 10 (2 of these for percentage), 8, 6, and 4 sides.
I promise it is the dice that makes the game fun for me. http://paizo.com/store/gameAids/dice/byManufacturer/chessex/setsOf7/v5748btpy74dw
