Roll a D6

If I ran a game store I would play the song Roll a D6 by Connor Anderson and Zac Smith.

You've hatched a plan at the game table but it involves off-the-wall shenanigans. What's a proper GM to say? That's where Connor Anderson was when his DM, Zac Smith, had him roll a d6. Zac gave him the instruction and the inspiration for this song was immediate. Hours later they had a final draft of the lyrics, parodying the song Like a G6 by Far East Movement. Roll a D6 gives a series of gaming vignettes that all resolve with the DM commanding resolution by six-sided die. You want to avoid a thing? You want to see a thing? You want to swipe a thing? D6, d6, and d6, respectively; let fate take control.

Roll a D6 was released direct to YouTube in May 2011.

Roll a D6 lyrics

In the basement rollin' dice, I'm a wizard
When we play we do it right, candles flicker
Fighting dragons in my mind, just for kicks
D.M. says you're gonna die, roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-na, D.M. says you're gonna die, roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-na, D.M. says you're gonna die, roll a D6

Gimme perception check
Make your dam rolls worthwhile
Players love my style, at my table gettin' wild
Got these schemes a plottin', got my map and my cloak
Got the players' heads a poppin', someone get me more Coke

Hell yeah
Level up, lev-level up
Goblins all around me I be hackin' them all up
I be hackin' them all up
I be hackin' them all up
When there's goblins all around me I be hackin' them all up up up

In the basement rollin' dice, I'm a wizard
When we play we think we fight giant lizards
Getting treasure piled high, like the rogue, Nyx
Steal a wallet from that guy? Roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-na, steal a wallet from that guy? Roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-na, steal a wallet from that guy? Roll a D6

Keepin' it, keepin' it wild, in the forest I got style
I'm a level thirty ranger, I been playin' for a while
This is how we live every single night
Necromancer raise the dead and let me see them fight

Hell yeah
Raise them up, raise, raise them up
Zombies all around me I be hackin' them all up
I be hackin' them all up, I be hackin' them all up
When there's zombies all around me I be hackin' them all up

Sittin' down here with these mice, I'm a wizard
When we play we go all night, eating Twizzlers
Got my spell books piled high, learning new tricks
Shooting lightning to the sky? Roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
A ha ha ha ha, shooting lightning to the sky? Roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
A ha ha ha ha, shooting lightning to the sky? Roll a D6

It's that dungeon crawlin' beast make you put yo shields up
Make you put yo shields up, put yo, put yo shields up
It's that dungeon crawlin' beast make you put yo shields up
Make you put yo shields up, put yo, put yo shields up
Hell yeah, make you put yo shields up
Make you put yo shields up, put yo, put yo shields up
Hell yeah, make you put yo shields up
Make you put yo shields up, put yo, put yo shields up

In the basement rollin' dice, I'm a wizard
When we play we do it right, candles flicker
Fighting dragons in my mind, just for kicks
D.M. says you're gonna die, roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-na, D.M. says you're gonna die, roll a D6
Roll a D6, roll a D6
Na-na-na-na-na, D.M. says you're gonna die, roll a D6
