Dnd is just a gateway drug for probability! Your child will grow up with a better understanding of chance and the consequences of gambling!

BEWARE

Satanists wouldn't actually be upset about that.

Can confirm, this was fucking hilarious

"Actually just improv and math"

What?

Instead of Satanic rituals, it's improvisation and arithmetic.

The majority of Dungeons and Dragons gameplay is either roleplaying as your character responding to all sorts of unexpected situations, or rolling dice and calculating what happens based on the result.

Did they fix the ampersand? &

Edit: depends on client

I was advised to use Unicode alternatives. Like &

This is the full width ampersand, or U+FF06

The title contains the normal ampersand (0x26 &), I checked. Monospaced text in comments is still erroneous.

Anyway, the fullwidth ampersand looks like it has spaces around it: D&D, so I prefer other options like ꯴𐓯᱒

We were promised The Real Magic including dress up parties on giant geometric power circles, in grand halls but the Dungeon Master's Guidebook doesn't reveal where these are supposed to take place.

Champions (the whole Hero System, actually) is fun times with exponents and logarithms, so it put me ahead of the Trigonometry curriculum.

I feel like Nergal would put on a swell D&D sesh.
