Another twofer since one question is less crunchy;
9) no favorite dice, I can roll badly on anything! I favor dice in horrible bright easy to spot under tables/on carpet colors.
10) “okay, did you like Lord of the Rings, Rogue One, Harry Potter, The Thirteenth Warrior? D&D is sort of like those, only because you’re acting and writing one of the main characters, you’re much more involved. Your friends are also writing and acting characters too, so it’s like playing any other game with friends.
