Drinking & Dragons
Monkey Centurion Productions—MTC Mainstage
What an adventure! I played a game or two of Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) when I was a kid, and I wish that I had played with these characters!
That’s the part that’s unbelievable. Most D&D kids were the geekiest of the geeks, and you surely would not have found an assembly of characters that included a nympho, and a guy with a hot girlfriend, all of whom are hard-swigging sots. D&D never (NEVER) ended with a drunk, hot blonde wanting to have sex with the other players!
While the players provide an entertaining background, the “warriors” steal the stage. Bill (B’ayle) is ludicrously hilarious and he carries the rest of the adventuring party. The Dragon-Wizard-Monkey-Whatever character’s emoting evokes great enjoyment, especially during the fireball showdown. The Elf’s character seems like an afterthought and the Mercenary’s “skimpy outfit” isn’t nearly skimpy enough if you’re going to keep referring to it as such. In a world where Xena’s corset is the norm, her outfit falls short of geek fantasy.
Despite some problems, I roared in laughter through much of this adventure. If D&D was this much fun, it would have a lot larger following.
I don’t get the monkey. Seeing as it’s from Monkey Centurion Productions, I’ll assume it’s an inside joke.
