Dank D&D: A New Vision

Amazingly, Dungeons and Dragons has become hot and part of pop culture.  I enjoy seeing the new energy and interest in tabletop RPG’s, including D&D.  I am also extremely excited by the legalization of cannabis in New York.  I’ve always mixed my two favorite hobbies, RPGs and getting stoned, when I gamed at home.  Unfortunately, you had to be a secret stoner when gaming in public and it was mostly frowned upon by the powers that be.

Things have changed recently and the idea of playing D&D and getting high isn’t such a big deal anymore.  I wanted to craft a pot-themed adventure where the player characters gained magic powers from smoking sacred buds.  So, I created the world of Svartzwyld, a place where the quality of the cannabis you smoke has dramatic effects on both the body and the mind.  Then, I created the most powerful relic, “The Golden Chalice.”  Folks that smoked out of this relic with the highest quality buds would gain magic powers.  The original six smokers of Svartzwyld all formed their own tribes.  Over time, these tribes changed to have unique physical appearances and abilities, but they always worked together. Each of these tribes also held a piece of the relic needed to complete the ultimate ritual.

·       The stockpile of all the cured sacred buds are protected by the Longfellow Hobbits

·       The Glistening Bic is protected by the Wyldlings (Men)

·       The Golden Tube is protected by the Gnomes.

·       The Golden Orb is protected by the Rock Trolls

·       The Feminized Sacred Seeds are protected by Elvenkin.

·       The Golden Pipe of Smoking is protected by the Dwarves.

  “The Fellowship of the Bong” is a cannabis infused D&D adventure for 4-6 players.  The Golden Chalice has been stolen.  The six dank tribes of Svartzwyld have joined forces and assembled an elite Kine force.  Each member is Iree and powerful in the magic of the Sacred Buds.

A giant Ogre and his dastardly minions stole the relic pieces from each of the tribes holy shrines. Each tribe has sent emissaries in peace to work together.  Included in the Fellowship are:

·       Sir Landrew Vert- Human Paladin and herald

·       Brother Soulforge Morganson- Dwarven Priest and representative.

·       Lothlorian- High Elven Wizard and emissary

·       Hue Van Bluntson- Gnome Representative and entertainer.

·       Trenchmon Roll- Rock Troll Honor Guard and warrior

·       Ander Goldenbong- Lightfoot council member and the last guy with the map

Grondarr’s lair is a maze of barracks, traps, ditch weed, loot, secret passages, and lots of stolen magic buds.  The loyal minions are ready to defend their master’s home in fear of death.  Players will be expected to, with the help of their skills and abilities, find their way through the hellish gauntlet to retrieve all six golden pieces of the relic.  The game will include dungeon tiles, miniatures, tricks, and treats in each room, and lots of fast pasted hard-hitting action. This two-hour RPG experience will satisfy the most experienced game and be easy enough for a first-time player to get a taste of the game from “The Big Bang theory” and “Stranger Things.”

“Fellowship of the Bong” will leave you breathless and buzzed!
