the road to el dorado when in the context of a d&d game is the most astounding and hellish streak of 1′s and 20′s
“The people think that you’re gods, what do you do?”
“…we go along with it.”
“Roll performance.”
“…I got a one.”
“Your foot gets caught in the stirrup while you try to dismount from the horse. You look ridiculous.”
“Well I rolled a twenty.”
“…somehow, a volcano stops erupting on your cue. Everyone falls to their knees in awe.”
“I roll to come up with an escape plan”
“Alright roll”
“…I got a one”
“I try to convince the horse to break us out”
“Roll…animal handling?”
“I got a twenty”
“You have been caught playing ball with the locals. What do you do?”
“I roll for persuasion…one.”
“You and your fellow player are roped into playing a game against a rival team of the biggest, buffest people imaginable while the entire city watches.”
“We decide to try cheating.”
“Okay, roll.”
“Twenty.”
“You use a physics-defying armadillo as a ball and he helps propel you to the win.”
I feel trapped and like I am suffocating. I have had very little interviews or contact even though I have applied everywhere. The one job that seems positive is in my hometown which I swore I would leave. And I am not even sure if I can fill the shoes of the teacher leaving. I want to travel, I want a dog…I want the world and it feels like I have no options. I am tired of feeling stuck in the middle. I just want to get a job so I can start building my life and saving to travel. I don’t want to end up somewhere I hate doing something that sucks. It all felt so easy two weeks ago.
