I can't write this, but it would be funny

Plot Bunny: It's the Avenger's first night together at the newly renovated Avenger's Tower, and rather than have everyone stand around awkwardly staring at each other, Tony breaks out his old D&D boxed set and starts up a game.

Well, Tony being Tony it wouldn't be in boxes, it would be set up in an interactive holographic DM screen that probably costs more than a mint copy of 1st Edition Chainmail signed by both Gary Gygaax and Dave Arneson, and it wouldn't be D&D anymore but a ridiculously complex homebrew system that he has to spend two hours teaching everyone else.

"Okay, everyone choose your classes. Clint?"

"Ranger."

"Natch. Natasha?"

"Drow Thief/Acrobat/Assassin"

"Thor?"

"Paladin."

"Steve already gets dibs on that one."

"I do?"

(Everyone else) "Yes."

"As you will. Fighter then."

"Cool. Rhodey?"

"Magic-user"

"You're kidding, right?"

"One Word: Fireball."

"Gotcha. Bruce?"

"Cleric."

"Not a half-orc barbarian?"

"No."

That bit's pretty funny on it's own. :)

Ahahah!

If I wrote it, I'd change two things:

1) Have the players choosing characters AGAINST type, except for Steve

2) Have Nick Fury show up and declare that HE's the GM. Tony plays a hobbit thief.

If Nick Fury was DM he'd be docking Tony 5000 XP for every Monty Python reference.

Suggested title: "The Avengers (Roll For) Initiative"

See, now that it has such a perfect title, someone has to write it.

[selenite.livejournal.com]

Agreed.
