Watching Dan play WoW has been butt clenching, cringe inducing, and endearing. It's lovely seeing someone experience WoW for the first time with no jadedness. No "Blech. I've done this a million times." or "Ugh, WoW."
However, there's one thing WoW's lost over the years. That dungeon running feel. Everyone's done every dungeon a million times and just sleeps through them. No one talked in the Deadmines run. You get in, get out, and if a dungeon run takes more than five minutes, people rage quit.
With the Pathfinder group scattered to the wind, maybe the GB crew can get the Last Canadians together in the world of Azeroth. Roll level 1 characters. No outside help from others outside of signing the guild charter, 16 slot bags, and maybe a pet parrot.
Much like a dungeon master, Rorie would have to lead our rag tag band of adventurers. But, to keep things fresh, no tanking for our resident puppy lover. Since Rorie's been playing for a while and would probably have all the heirlooms, playing the opposite side of the tank, the healer, might be interesting. A decked out healer would keep the group cohesive, cover up every mistake, without overpowering the group too badly. Have Rorie give out lore bits, or "Back in my day, Stratholme was a raid instance." bits. But no gameplay bits. Let the guys relearn it and step in after a wipe or two.
Dan seemed amazed that there were so many starting zones. He also wanted to throw lighting. How about a Dranaei shaman?
Brad as a night elf rogue? (Or Hunter. They need roll everything anyways, and part of the WoW experience is having that strength two handed sword need rolled on and won by a hunter.) I think he'd be extremely awed with just how much has changed since he last stepped into Azeroth.
Vinny, the human protection warrior. Everything's better with V-Bomb. He'd bring the right kind of energy to a lost tank that'd keep Rory on his toes.
Drew as Drewcifer the mage/warlock.
Or, if Dave Snyder's available, swap him out for Rory. Have Melony the dwarven priest with her pet parrot, Pickle. Rorie can still guide the group, set up the story behind the dungeons, the history and lore.
And just to mess with Dan?
Have them RP their characters!
