[The video is upside down. Or, rather, Peter is sitting in a ceiling corner in the level six common room, upside down, and you're getting a weird camera angle as a result. Feel free to adjust your screens accordingly.]

You know, [He starts off, sounding generally more conversational and maybe slightly bored than anything else. Not having an inmate or much really to do is kind of wearing on him.] I know it's like, the butt of every joke imaginable, but Dungeons and Dragons? Way more fun than just sitting around here waiting for the next disaster port to hit, and I don't really think it deserves the bad rep it gets. Crazy, I know, but you might even enjoy it if you gave it a shot.

I mean, a few of you I wouldn't necessarily want to be Dungeon Master or anything - I've seen people who aren't world leaders turn into power crazy psychos, figure we don't need to dump gasoline on any fires - but seriously, might be a decent way to kill some time.

Orrrr anyone got Scattergories? Or Pictionary or something? The copy of Monopoly I found stashed under the television's missing most of the pieces, but honestly, Monopoly is pretty much the worst board game ever invented anyway. Probably not worth tracking down the top hat piece.

[ooc: Peter is affected. c:]

Comments

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

I haven't heard of any of those particular games, but, I do think that games of both chance and skill prove an excellent way to pass the time on long voyages, and would be very glad to join in one.

[How do you feel about getting savagely beaten at a hand of whist, Peter?]

[myresponsibility]

Cool. Dungeons and Dragons is like, you create a character and sort of roleplay an adventure they go on with the other player's characters. It's kind of involved, but it's not really hard?

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

You create a character? So, it is somewhat akin to telling a story together?

[myresponsibility]

Yeah, kind of. One of the players is kind of the narrator, and they'll say stuff like... and then you find a dragon which attacks you, and you have to roll dice to find out how much you damage it when you attack it.

[sssiiiiirrrrr]

That sounds amazing!

[Pause. That was a bit more emphatic than he intended to be.]

Or, unlike any other game I've played, at least. I would be glad to join you.

[myresponsibility]

Cool. I don't know when we're going to actually play, but I'll let you know.
