D&D 5e + Cards Against Humanity = Dungeons Against Humanity
One night, while trying to build her first D&D campaign, DM Sam Wise was visited by the spirit of a raccoon that had been run over by a lawnmower. Death comes for us all, the raccoon spirit told her. Eat trash. Be free.
And lo, Sam Wise did snort a line of Smarties and dream up a new type of RPG play, one that combines the classic format of Dungeons & Dragons and Cards Against Humanity. The world's geography and history, NPCs, battle encounters, and plotlines--all are affected by random draws of Cards Against Humanity. "Daniel Radcliffe's delicious asshole" becomes a young wizard prostitute with an odd specialty. A player's familiar appears as a notorious US politician, albeit with more antennae than you might expect. And Leroy Jenkins? Yeah, he's in there.
