Mario Does D&D

[Riley37]

I think it's supposed to be a key or a lever or something, but then again given 8-bit graphics, who can tell?

"Someone get this freaking duck away from me!"

I groaned when I saw this initially, as it was such a silly April Fools joke. But the effort that went into it. Wow. A+.

I didn't create the character sheets, but I did create the characters. I wasn't actually very happy with them (rushed through them) so I'm glad at least a couple hit the mark. I wanted to have the classic D&D "core" classes so Luigi got stuck with cleric and Toad with rogue. I could probably switch those around, but was told by someone I trust that it worked.

Help me out here because I'm not a console gamer and I'm going on half-remembered things from my childhood: When you're fighting Bowser or other mini-bosses in Super Mario Bros., don't you get past him and jump on a golden ax which causes the bridge to fall out from underneath him?

Actually, Luigi being a cleric makes a lot of sense. After all, in both the games he stars in he's fighting undead.

And yeah, it's definitely an ax from what I can tell. I'm surprised Bowser didn't wield hammers in his character sheet. He must not've been the final Bowser after all.

Thanks! I didn't create the character sheets, but I did create the characters.

I'm sorry, I didn't even notice the sheets - I meant the characters on the sheets! EXCELLENT JOB! Yeah, Luigi as a cleric is a little wonky, but you're right - it works. Toad as a rogue actually works even better, I think. But Peach and Mario are perfect - well done!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Now I get it.

Thanks! Creating the characters took the most time. The scenario itself was very fast to put together.

I smell a sequel!

Hehe. If you look on Toad's character sheet, his Hermit discovery is the existence of the golden ax, so presumably the players would know about it going into the scenario.

What is the relationship between bloopers and flumphs?

When you said "it's not a cult!"

The words "it's not a cult!" should never be believed.

Go for it! And tell me how it goes! Also be sure to describe the look on your players' faces when you bust this out to play.

This is just so awesome...

Thanks!
