No DM's/GM's were harmed in the making of this video though time was killed. Any representation of a real life fictional character is fully intended even if it's not there.
We encourage you to explore and create characters of your own in RPG systems far and wide that sound interesting.
TBC
The video you are about to see is not a skit. It is a representation of true character creation in Dungeons & Dragons and Kobolds Ate My Baby. For the former, more than 20 minutes has been removed. For the latter, more then 2. What remains is what you've likely already seen.
TBC
Anyway, join us for some galactic sight-seeing. It might not come around again for the age of a comet's pass :)

Mixed group and cafe staff gathered around Rep. Josh Elliott, playing Ito with numbered cards - about to reveal them.
Mixed group gathered around Rep. Josh Elliott, gesturing, chatting, and playing Ito with numbered cards.
Thank you to Rep. Elliott's team and everyone who came out yesterday for board games and local chat.
We're happy to serve as a place where local officials can connect with our community and answers can be had from those who know (not always a thing you get in gaming... looking at you trivia.)
