Something that interested me this week

I saw the Dungeons & Dragons movie this past week and it was so fun! I admit I haven't played much D&D before, but the movie was so good that it kinda made me want to try! I do like role-playing video games, but I think I just haven't had a good (and consistent) group to try out a regular D&D campaign before. I liked how the movie was funny, while still being a solid, fun adventure to follow!

Why did the invisible person turn down the job offer?
They couldn't see themselves doing it.
