But with 52 randomly selected DMs, you're bound to get more bad DMs than good ones, and more hack'n'slashers than roleplay-oriented DMs (please note that the good vs. bad and H'n'S vs. RP dychotomies are being kept distinct, ok? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />).Which means that munchkin ability will likely give one an edge.For this reason, I chose Dora. She's a scientist, and bending laws to maximize something is what she does for a living. After doing it with natural laws, D&D should be a breeze. Plus, she's likely to be a smarter-than-average person, which can only help.Aaron would fare well in a RP-oriented campaign, because he can act (which will certainly please a RP-oriented DM), and is used to talking with people. He would probably be able to avoid a good deal of fights. OTOH, the benefits of avoiding fights usually extend to the whole party, thus reducing his margin, and a HnS-oriented DM would not give him many opportunities for dialogue.As for the other two, Betty's outdooring skills are useless in D&D where it is usually assumed that the characters know how to set a tent and light a fire. Not counting that at least a few of the games will be with high-level characters who will probably just cast Leomund's Tiny Hut and Hero's Feast every evening, set Alarms for the night, and turn any aggressive animal who happens to stumble by into catfood within a round.Carl seems poor at long-term planning. While this can be an advantage if you're creating new characters each session (he won't be holding the charges in those wands for "later"), I don't see this as something the others can't do too.</blockquote>
