Six degrees of D&D

[Phil. L]

With all those word games out there I thought I'd try a different spin on things.

Everyone knows the game six degrees of separation (and its famous spin-off's like six degrees of Bacon) as well as the movie (great flick by the way), but what about six degrees of D&D?

Here are the rules of the game (my rules anyway)

You must link two different D&D characters such as Elminster and Dragotha by 5 or fewer other D&D characters. If the person knows the other person they are one degree separated (so Elminster and Khelbun are one degree separated). If they both know someone but haven't actually met they are two degrees separated (so Elminster and Raistlin are two degrees separated since they both know Dalamar but haven't actually met [at least I don't think so]}. I think that you get the drift. ;-)

So...

Elminster and Dragotha?

Hmmm .... don't know if my Knowledge (D&D Canon) has enough ranks for this.

Do we count Dungeon magazine content as Canon? ;-)

Ok, here's my try at it.

Spoiler:

Elminster knows Mordenkainen through The Wizards Three. Mordenkainen knows Bucknard through the Circle of Eight. Bucknard was killed by Dragotha. Four degrees?

Not as close , but...before they decided that FR's outer planes were not the Great Wheel, they had a book called Elminster in Hell.

Elminster is a Chosen of Mystra. In the book Mystra fought Asmodeus. Asmodeus has dealings with Tiamat, and Dragotha was a consort of Tiamat. That's what, 5 degrees?

This isn't D&D-related, but I had an art teacher in high school that had a friend that had met Marilyn Manson. So, in theory, I'm 4 degrees away from the Antichrist Superstar.

Of course, really Elminster knows everyone....
