…I present Roll a D6.
This could have gone in The Game Room I suppose but it wasn’t about playing the game.
It’s too bad Like a G6 is one of the most annoying songs ever, rendering that parody unlistenable…
Oh, that’s based on an actual song?
Anyway, I enjoyed it. I felt the cokes were a nice touch.
If she’s a wizard, why does her costume suggest ranger?
I think the lyric is “you are about to die, roll a d6”
Where in D&D would the player roll a d6 to see if they died?
Falling 10 feet?
If it was an attack, the GM would roll.
But it is an amusing video

Sadly, yes. The parody is a LOT more cleverly written than the original, “Like a G6” by Far East Movement.
Very nicely done! In a similar vein, there’s Game On by the folks from The Guild!
I’m probably in the target demographic for that song, but the style of “singing” used was so incredibly annoying I couldn’t tolerate more than a few seconds of it.
I commented on the video about this, since other people there were asking the same question, about her using a bow: She could be an elf, and elves in D&D get automatic racial proficiency with bows. At least they did in 3.0/3.5 Edition; I’d have to break out my 4E books to see if that’s still the case.
Low-level wizards and sorcerers, at least in the group I played with, usually carry a ranged weapon (usually crossbow, for non-elves) to compensate somewhat for the very low number of spells they can cast in a day. It just usually not shown in the artwork.
Actually I sort of presumed her costume was a throwback/reference to 1st Ed, where Elf was effectively a race and a class all in one. They were effectively fighter/mages.
Those of you who are old enough (or retro enough?) to have experienced the old INFOCOM text-only adventures from the 80s may also appreciate You are Likely to be Eaten by a Grue.
With cameo by Steve Meretzky!
Not exactly 1st Edition, which usually refers to 1st edition AD&D, in which the race/class distinction had already been drawn, but to good old fashioned no-prefix D&D. (And the follow-on Basic, Expert, etc. D&D boxed sets)
OMFG!
