How many boardgamer friends do you have that have expressed interest in RPGs? How many of them have you successfully invited over for a full-length campaign?

Has this ever happened to you?

You are hanging out with your boardgamer friends and RPGs come up in discussion. They say how they've always wanted to try out D&D but never had the time or motivation to seek it out. You gladly invite them over to your next session only for them to bail last minute.

Happens more often than you'd like.

But what if you could give them a taste of what roleplaying is like without the huge time commitment? Just bust this game out in between games of Wingspan or the Isle of Cats.

"It's only 12 minutes," you say. "Let's just try it."

12 minutes later, they've gotten a taste of roleplaying as a mechanic. And then one of two things happen:

  1. They love it and join your next D&D session.
  2. They realize it's not for them and never pester you about it again.

Win-win! All for the measly cost of 12 minutes.

Example scenarios:

🎭 "The aisle next to the bathroom on the plane" – An Orc Web Designer, an Elf Aspiring Firefighter, and a Dark Elf Instagram Model accidentally hypnotize themselves and the passengers! Chaos ensues.

"6AM in a government building" – A Gnome Comedian, a Basilisk Lab Technician, and a Leprechaun Bank Teller stumble upon a secret room filled with magical artifacts, unintentionally activating a time loop.

🎤 "A comedy show, but the comedian is racist" – A Cockatrice Optometrist, a Dragon Chef, and an Ogre Bouncer use their powers to turn the problematic comedian into a literal clown, exposing him in front of the audience.

🏜️ "In a desert filled with sugar, not sand..." - A Goblin Banker, an Ogre Bouncer, and a Troll Lawyer are stuck in the desert and start hallucinating from the sugary heat.
