Take The Escapist Dungeons and Dragons Quiz!

Take The Escapist Dungeons and Dragons Quiz!

This week marks the anniversary of Dungeon and Dragons creator Gary Gygax's death. In his honor, we've got a pair of D&D-inspired quizzes for you, written by Archon himself. The man knows Dungeons and Dragons like you know your name, so here's hoping you rolled a really high Wisdom stat.

We've got two flavors of quiz for you, Normal and Impossible, depending on whether you're a 4th Edition or Red Box kind of player. (I kid, I kid.)

As always, you can take as long as you like for each quiz, and even retry them if you didn't score 100%, but keep in mind your cumulative time will affect your position on our leaderboards.

May you behold many wonders (but not a beholder) and roll nothing but natural 20s, adventurers!

Phew even the normal quiz was pretty hard. I answered without looking anything up and I got 40% and 30%. You should try another one on 2E and 3E

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

20%.

Maybe I should actually play D&D. It's sounds fun, if there is actually an Illusionist class.

 

[ItsAPaul]

Dunno why the normal one is about the original, but w/e.

 

[Amnestic]

Bloody hell, five attempts at the normal quiz for 100%.

And 7 at the impossible.

Those were hard.

So that's why I've been so obsessed with D&D over the last week (despite never having played it and not having any friends to play it with). Clearly Gygax's spirit has possessed me, it would also explain my current 3rd place standing and 60% score... Though it does raise questions as to why Gygax couldn't get 100% on a quiz about his game.

Way to drop the ball Gary... Just kidding, we're cool.

Seriously though I was kinda shocked to see a D&D quiz pop up because I have honestly, starting around a week ago just been obsessed. I've had an interest in D&D for years now, but I've never had the friends or resources to enjoy it with.

Bloody hell, five attempts at the normal quiz for 100%.

I know, right? It took me 7 times because I kept forgetting my previous answers ;d

40% or so at Impossible, though.

 

[Teh_Doomage]

God that was hard....I'm just going to stick to my 3.5ed rules and maybe still trickle with 2nd ed.

Damn hard quizes, both of them

 

[Marsell]

+1 to win.
+2 to rouges.

 

[Scott2210]

how the hell did i get 10% and then 20% on what was ment to be harder? i feel really bad right now ... damnit

 

[skeanthu]

"20%.

Maybe I should actually play D&D. It's sounds fun, if there is actually an Illusionist class."


Ditto ) I should have given in and played back in the day instead of running around in the woods on a dirtbike with my Crossman 760 playing Delta Force.

Did the same thing, answered them all before but then forgot which answers were correct when I went back to fix the wrong ones. Initially I was 60% and 40% on the normal and impossible quizzes respectfully

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Ack 30%. Man I suck!

 

[Nimbus]

I got one right?! How is that even possible? Even random guessing should have gotten me 20-30 percent!

 

[Jared]

Got 10%...which, given I dont play I am proud of! lol

 

[LunarTick]

I just registered to take this quiz. 70% on the normal, 50% on the impossible. Quite hard ones, these. Luckily for me, I read a certain dungeon adventure this saturday. So, one question was really question. (four-handed gargoyles, anyone? )

 

[ace_of_something]

Wow, dude 1st edition questions, really? You realize 2nd edition came out 21 years ago? (Which incidentally is when I started playing)

 

[Heart of Darkness]

how the hell did i get 10% and then 20% on what was ment to be harder? i feel really bad right now ... damnit

Same here, but it was 20% and then 40%. Um...yay, guessing?

 

[Batfred]

So it's official: I blow at D&D.

Can we have a Runequest Quiz or Advanced Heroquest? I rocked at those games!
