Disrupt D20: Finding truth in the D&D icosahedron.

995jeffdorchen

One bright spot, if not an entire side, in my days has been the nationwide student walkouts to protest gun violence. In Bizarro World, where these walkouts are viewed darkly, the nationwide student walkouts were engineered by brainwashing communist teachers and bad parents. But at least, in Bizarro World, they've heard about the walkouts. That tells me that maybe our worlds aren't that different after all. Maybe it's how we interpret that world that puts us on opposite sides of the icosahedron.

In a Moment of Truth, trollish bard Jeff Dorchen makes a critical math error on the number of bright sides there are on a die, then adventures across intellectual properties to Bizarro world with James Woods, the commenting community of The Blaze, Bertolt Brecht and those school walkout kids, in search of a land not ruled by money.
