something about netflix castlevania felt really weird but oddly familiar in the way the story is medieval low fantasy and yet every character is not only speaking in a super modern way but constantly dunking on eachothers backstories, dropping f bombs with impunity, and going on 5 minute tangents on whether or not vampires really are killed by running water and I couldn’t put my finger on it until I realized they all talk like they’re players in a dnd campaign
in my humble
opinion in my expertise as a certified PhDnD, trevor belmont punching dracula and
nothing happening isn’t a natural one; trevor belmont punching dracula
is when you roll high and add your modifier for a total that’s more than
twenty against the boss’s AC, and in response the dm looks you dead in the
eye and says “miss”
