lyrics

With no advantage, roll thirteen to hit
And three D-4s for damages or pray for a crit.
A two and two ones means I did barely shit
But that’s just how the game is played.

With my modifier, I hit for five,
I’ll be lucky if I make it out of this one alive
It’s five gold for a healing kit so try to survive
At least until the party gets paid.

Entrusting your life in seven little dice in
Varying amounts,
But no matter how you roll,
It’s having fun that counts.

It’s hard to keep track of how much everything weighs,
The conversion of electrum and How much a job pays
How long a turn takes and the time of the day,
Got me pulling out my hair

Numbers never really were my thing
But the DM’s been taking me under his wing,
If he handles the numbers, I can do my thing
And I trust that he is firm but fair.

Entrusting your life in seven little dice in
Varying amounts,
But no matter how you roll,
It’s having fun that counts.

Let’s see; 1,2,3,4,5, plus- wait, no
5,10, 15, 20 feet, then I go
2 times 3 plus this one then, I dunno.
1,2,3, so, I need one more d4 to throw

Entrusting your life in seven little dice in
Varying amounts,
But no matter how you roll,
It’s having fun that counts.
