Distinction (Remastered)
My love letter to the game itself: the rule books, the figures, the dice, and the rare chance to be someone else for a night without anyone judging you for it. It's also a pre-apology to Maeven's player, because the diss track is coming.
Coming to the table
From both far and wide
Character becomes you
Put yourself aside
D and D is magic
From inside the mind
Imagination framework
Dice to help decide
There's rule books and figures
To help us all keep track
Numbers math and combat
If you choose to attack
The fantasy of roleplay
In the game we love
Being someone different
There is no need to judge
The fantasy of roleplay
It sets our spirits free
To be a different person
Imagine if we're free
In the real world people
Don't tend to be so cruel
But at the gaming table
Theft and death's the rule
The fantasy of roleplay
Lets you free explore
The choice of consequences
You'd normally abhor
The DM moderates the
Flow of how we play
But inter-party conflict
At the table stays
The fantasy of roleplay
In the game we love
Being someone different
There is no need to judge
Some characters are monsters
Some are working through
The traumas we imagined
In their backstories we knew
That's what inspiration's
For in the fifth ed
Lets you take advantage
Helps us not be dead
Doing things mechanically
That are a bad idea
Due to personality
Makes the story real
The fantasy of roleplay
In the game we love
Being someone different
There is no need to judge
The fantasy of roleplay
It sets our spirits free
To be a different person
Imagine if we're free
Away from the sessions
There is no need to judge
Adherence to our characters
In the game that we all love
The fantasy of roleplay
It sets our spirits free
To be a different person
Imagine if we're free
Or at least
Chained by something different
For a while
For a while
Just for a while
Set us free
And let us smile
Let there be problems
That we can maybe fix
Ones that we've invented
To get a little lick
A little taste
A little taste
For a while
Set us free
We're free to be
Okay
