Hickman's Killer Breakfast / Episode 2

Episode 2 of Hickman's Killer Breakfast 2007 with Gary Gygax. Next episode: http://youtu.be/O-Ze-hdO_t4

What would a fantasy role playing game be without a big-time, Broadway-style opening musical production number? Well, you would probably call it 'sane' but it sure wouldn't be Killer Breakfast! Tracy and Laura Hickman — with the help of special guest Frank Mentzer (contributing designer to the original Dungeons & Dragons game as well as renown Gencon Auctioneer) -- and the usual crew open the show with a no-holds-barred rendition of 'Phantoms of the Ravenloft.' (With apologies to Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and Charles Hart & Richard Stilgoe.) (Plus an additional apology to Tim Rice for incorrectly crediting him with the original lyrics in the video.) Sing along if you like...

(LAURA)
We wrote adventure games / for TSR
But one above the rest / Was quite bizarre.
Now it's returned again / though not the same...
The Writers of the Ravenloft have come...
To play their game!

(TRACY)
Come play my RPG / for these two hours
We'll kill more character's / than ten Jack Baurs!
It's Killer Breakfast time. You glance behind...
The Makers of the Ravenloft return...
To blow your mine!

(LAURA)
Those who have played the game / draw back in dread
Character's spring to life...
(TRACY) ... then drop down dead!
(DUET) And though you plead and beg / and roll your dice...
The DM of the Ravenloft will kill...
... and not think twice!

(Chorus: It's Here ... it's time for Killer Breakfast! Beware! It's time for Killer Breakfast...)

(TRACY)
In all of Ravenloft / Strahd was the best
The Lord Soth somehow came...
(LAURA) You know the rest!
(DUET) So we've returned again / To fix mistakes.
The Phantoms of the Ravenloft have come...
To up the Stakes!
