This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

One song

One song that really should be adopted by D&D as an anthem is this, it really captures the mystery, menace and excitement of dungeon crawls.
"These children are playing with dark and dangerous powers!"
"What else are you meant to do with dark and dangerous powers?"
A concise overview of GNS theory.
Quote from: that muppet vince baker on RPGsIf you care about character arcs or any, any, any lit 101 stuff, I\'d choose a different game.

I wonder if this song would be as successful as it is now, if it wouldn't have been among "The Hobbit" soundtracks.

I like the song. But for me, D&D is forever entwined with this song.

I always thought a lyric-free version of Metallica's Battery would fit--you begin with the kingdom at peace--and then dragon!

Given the death rate in many of our parties back in the good ole days, this song was a perfect fit:

Sole Survivor

I was somewhat disappointed to find out last summer from Geoff Downes that it was about the breathless coverage of the Wimbledon tournament.
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace

I love Blue Oyster Cult, but the Asia song rocks harder.
