Donjons & Dancefloor

C'est la video dont tout le monde parle ces temps-ci, avec plus de 400 000 vues sur Youtube en une semaine c'est déjà un phénomène qui dépasse largement la petite communauté des rolistes.

Parodie du clip de Far East Movement "Like a G6", "Roll a D6" s'éloigne de l'apologie de l'alcool et de la fête de l'original pour vanter plutôt les mérites du bashage de gobelins et du lançage de Fireballs. Et même si les zombies sont décevants, il faut avouer que c'est plutôt bien foutu pour un petit clip réalisé sans budget en à peine quatre semaines.

Voici donc l'hymne rolistique du moment à découvrir d'urgence (et pour les curieux je vous ai mis aussi le morceau original en dessous ainsi que les paroles si vous n'arrivez pas à tout comprendre. Et si vous voulez en savoir plus, vous pourrez trouver une interview de l'auteur sur le site de Wizards of the Coast qui révèle les coulisses de son projet).

In the basement rollin dice, I’m a wizard
When we play we do it right, candles flicker
Fighting dragons in my mind, (in my mind) just for kicks (kicks)
DM says you’re gonna die, roll a D6!

Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-now DM says you’re gonna die, roll a D6!

Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-now DM says you’re gonna die, roll a D6!

Gimme perception check (check)
Make your damn roll worthwhile
Players love my style, at my table gettin wild
Got these schemes a plottin, I got my map and my cloak
Got the players heads a poppin, someone get me more Coke!

HELL YEAA

Goblins all around me I be hackin em all up!
I be hackin em all up!
I be hackin em all up!
When there’s Goblins all around me I be hackin em all up up up

In the basement rollin dice, I’m a wizard
When we play we think we fight giant lizards
Getting treasure piled high (piled high), Like the Rogue, Nyx
Steal a wallet from that guy? Roll a D6!

Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-now Steal a wallet from that guy, roll a D6!

Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-now Steal a wallet from that guy, roll a D6!

Keepin it keepin it wild, In the forest I got style,
I’m a level thirty ranger, I been playin for a while
This is how we live, every single night
Necromancer raise the dead , and let me see them fight (ight ight ight)
HELL YEAA
Raise em up, raise, raise em up!
Zombies all around me I be hackin them all up
I be hackin them all up
I be hackin them all up
When there zombies all around me I be hackin them all up up up

Sittin down here with these mice, I’m a wizard
When we play we go all night, eating twizzlers
Got my spell books piled high, (piled high) learning new tricks
Shooting lightning to the sky, (whispered) roll a D6!

Roll a D6, roll a D6
A HA HA HA HA Shooting lightning to the sky, roll a D6!

Roll a D6, roll a D6
A HA HA HA HA Shooting lightning to the sky, roll a D6!

In the basement rollin dice, I’m a wizard
