Dungeons & Dragons, Meet Cubicles & Compromises

This blog post presents a simple, gamified tabletop incident response exercise where teams roll a 20-sided die to determine action success (11–20 succeeds) and may apply modifiers (+5 for documented procedures, +2 for trained personnel). An "IT Guru Master" injects random events (e.g., data posted to Pastebin, staff pulled into meetings) to simulate realistic disruptions; the exercise’s goal is to discover procedural and training gaps through engaging, scenario-driven play rather than produce a technical incident report.
