Dragonstrike

A little detail on the video itself:

This video I must admit this video is absolutely hilarious...one of the best D&D films ever made.

*Edit*
Sorry bout thread title rushed through too quickly.

The thief seems to be the only one with any hint of intelligence

The way she opens doors is the way I sometimes think Tanks should be used

Is it just me, or does the GM's pacing and tone of voice remind you of the Old Spice Guy?

I knew what this thread referred to just be reading the title!

Ah... memories. When this was released, it was played on a loop on the TVs in the hotels during GenCon. We all got to memorize it.

Favorite part: Sproing! the Minotaur. The threat that never materializes because he's ejected from reality by a comically giant spring trap.

Indeed Z_M, the Minotaur spring was awesome. Also I did find out that my DM actually has a copy of the game in his closet. So we will be planning to sit down in play it once. When it happens I just might need to post a review of the game.

Oh I remember that...

And I've been trying for years to forget it.

We wasted a whole game session playing this, when I could have got that +5 battleaxe I wanted.
