Roleplaying With The Movies

Send us a text

I was 9 years old when I finally talked my mother into taking me to see this new movie my friends had been talking about. I still remember how excited I was when the lights went down and the music swelled from the movie screen.

Star Wars

When Luke and Han got their awards at the end, I remember wanting to be Luke Skywalker.

Oh, sorry, I didn’t give you a spoiler alert.

Wait…

If I have to give you a spoiler alert for Star Wars you are not from this planet. Just for future reference this episode will likely be filled with spoilers so consider yourself warned.

Now, where was I…

That’s right, Luke Skywalker, I wanted to, no needed to be Luke Skywalker. I wondered if that new role-playing game Dungeons and Dragons would let you play Luke?

The short answer

Hell Yes.

In this episode Christina, another avid “B” movie fan, and I are going to talk about movies. 

Specifically, Why and How to use them as fodder for your roleplaying games. We will also give you a few of our favorites to add. But before we get to the specific movies lets answer the Why and How questions.
