Chad Henderson gave a talk at IgniteOKC. BoingBoing picked it up and I thought it was worth linking to – you see – I played Dungeons and Dragons and am currently biding my time until I can introduce RPGs to my daughter. (Shhh…don’t tell my wife.)

Here is the video:

All I Need To Know About Life I learned From Dungeons and Dragons. An IgniteOKC Talk. from Chad Henderson on Vimeo.

Here are the actual slides:

1. Chose your group wisely – know your team/group/party and make sure they complement each other.
2. Initiative – sometimes being first to move is not a great thing. Sometimes it is good to wait.
3. Roll the dice – take your shot.
4. Things Never Go According to Plan. Have a plan – but be ready to change the plan.
5. Sometimes Failing is Good – Dont be afraid to fail.
6. Prepare ahead so you can Improvise. Never. Stop. Learning.
7. If the rules suck – make your own.
