about

Just how wicked can those dice rolls get? UK poet and lyricist, Ian Badcoe has some thoughts!

lyrics

Evil Dice Tango
(Copyright 2019 Words by Ian Badcoe and Mary C Crowell, Copyright 2019 Music by Mary C Crowell)

I remember my first character with some affection,

a bar-fighting barbarian--he’d no discretion--

in a brawl he could throw your paladin in any direction
and I was feeling pretty good about his progression
until we met the goblin with the stick.

The goblin was quite gobby and got right in my face
he called me unprofessional which wasn’t the case
I unlimbered my broadsword to put him in his place
I won initiative and swung with natural grace
and then I rolled a one and broke my leg.

Chorus:
Evil dice, I've got, evil dice!

They like to kill me my characters , it's not very nice...
There's no way I can fight them,

they can always devise

some way to turn the tables

and throw a surprise

disaster in the face of victory.

So then I tried a half-elven assassin

all slender blades and vials of poison but classy

with the dealing death and not averse to passing

witty remarks over a body she’d been recently outclassing
and then she tried to sneak out past the guards.

I was making checks for hiding and stealth

she was smirking in a shadow, couldn’t help herself,

and then I rolled a one and brushed up slightly ‘gainst a shelf
of armour that went crashing on the floor and by itself

a helmet went bouncing down the stairs

[ clang, clang, clatter, bash...sad. ]

Chorus

Then I thought I’d dabble in the arcane,

gather some eldritch power and go insane,

made a necromancer, used the power of his brain

and summoned shambling things that shouldn’t come into this plane.
I made him cool, and austere, he’d treat the living with disdain.

So when we came to our climactic fight.

I was nowhere near the front, it was delightful

to be sending zombies down the room to flank them on the right,
when I threw a one, but only stumbled slightly,

threw one again, trod on my robe and sprawled

into my own magic circle ....

Chorus X2
