SYNOPSIS: David has cancer. It's aggressive. And terrifying. He looks at his life and all he sees are holes; the moments he won't be able to have, if this cancer is successful in its malign task. He sees one way out: Dungeons and Dragons.
Dave has a circle of friends that still play, and as he thinks back on the moments they've experienced in the game, he doesn't remember sitting around a table, rolling dice. He remembers every spell cast, every enemy vanquished, and every cataloged item. So, the new quest: to play through potential “memories” Dave might miss. His three friends, Tyrone, Benny, and Sky, sit down with Dave and his girlfriend, Meg (a gaming newbie) and chart out a path to victory. If all goes well, Dave will experience events as important as the birth of his child and as personal as seeing the ocean for the first time.
But. That's if everything goes well. For, in the game, The Shade lurks...
DAVE, A man smacked in the face with impending mortality. Cares deeply about his friends and is cared for right back. Lawful Neutral Human Wizard. Gender: Male Presenting Character. Ethnicity: Any Ethnicity. Age: 25-35
MEG, Dave’s girlfriend. Trying very hard to understand a world she has no experience with, in more ways than one. Neutral Good Half-Elf Cleric. Gender: Female Presenting Character. Ethnicity: Any Ethnicity. Age: 25-35
TYRONE, The DM. The storyteller. Tasked with one of the most heroic quests possible: giving his friend a send-off, while holding on tightly. Dave’s best friend from high school. Chaotic Good Dwarven Artificer. Gender: Male Presenting Character. Ethnicity: Any Ethnicity. Age: 25-35
SKY, Flighty, clever, and easily distracted. The wild card. Is the oldest in the group but seems younger. Nimbly transforms into many characters as they come to life in the game. Chaotic Neutral Halfling Rogue. Gender: Female Presenting Character. Ethnicity: Any Ethnicity. Age: 25-35
BENNY, His intelligence may be a boon or a hindrance. Easy for him to keep people at a distance, by leading with humor and a focus on others. Nimbly transforms into many characters as they come to life in the game. True Neutral Gnome Fighter. Gender: Male Presenting Character. Ethnicity: Latino. Age: 25-35
