Jul 23rd If Game of Thrones were Dungeons & Dragons – Sir Meow-ntain

After playing Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) for more than thirty years, I often interpret a film or book as though it were a group of people playing. Here’s my take on Game of Thrones as if it were a game of D&D that George R.R. Martin was Dungeon Mastering.

Don’t worry, I have some more of these memes on the way.

Sometimes when you’re playing D&D the Dungeon Master does something to a Player Character that the Player never wants to happen again. Sometimes players take a setback personally or badly. Resourceful players will often then try to take precautions against a reoccurrence of the unpleasantness. Having your character’s favorite thing destroyed or stolen often makes players furious, as just one example. It’s a natural reaction to a traumatic event.

In Game of Thrones, if Circe were a PC, her Player’s apparent reaction to being taken prisoner included getting a giant, golden-cat-helmed, Frankenstein-esque murdering machine who was sworn to destroy all her enemies.

Another illustrated moment from the Savage Tide game I’m running. This occurred in the basement of the Seventh Coil minting house in Scuttlecove – Frank’s Vannaran shaman, “Tirapiki” is coup’de-grac-ing a stunned Yaun-Ti.
