I remove my wizard’s robe and hat
I played DnD in 8th grade (Jr. High) because the group of kids I always hung out with played and got me into it. We would like rotate campaigns being DMs and shit. It was pretty fun, but hard to manage.
We’d just meet up on Saturdays and play video games, eat Ramen, then play DnD.
I stopped hanging out with those kids after JR high… I saw some of them on the morning announcements advertising for their “Interactive Gamers Club” saying some shit about attacking the darkness and giggling in cloaks. Yeah… Yeaahhh…
I then had a 6 month Xbox Live addiction period.
I played WoW through Freshman year. I wasn’t nerdy, just kinda too lazy to do much of anything. I stopped last year and sold my account. I’m really glad I did… really glad.
That game wasn’t even fun anymore, but I’d still sit there and play it over doing homework.
I then realized I was a faggot and could be out doing better things.
I don’t really play any board or video games now.

Oh please that Gazebo story is the biggest D&D equivalent of an Urban Legend there is. Everyone I’ve ever met that played D&D tells that story and it is on countless websites.
I’ve known a guy that was probably that dumb though. He thought the word cache was supposed to sound like the word “catch” with a big “E” on the end. I should of asked him how do you say attache? He probably would of thought it was an attack helicopter.
I once had a Paladin that was singing and dancing like a lunatic to distract the guards so the rest of the group could sneak in. They got in alright but the DM felt like I should be killed by 50 city guards. FFS I’m a Paladin and I just spent all day healing your wounded.
DM: “So Ghorig do you want to kill your friend Joe now that you have incapacitated him in the arena or try and escape?”
Ghorig: “Fuck Joe you brought the off brand RC Cola shit. Throw him to the lions.”
DM: “Joe is torn to shreds by the lions.”
Joe: “Come on I just spent 20 minutes making that character and only played him for 5.”

Guess your paladin skipped the day when they were learning about Lawful Good in school…

At least he couldn’t have grown too attached to him…

That was my Half-elf Rogue Luap. I guess technically though if it had been a Paladin it would of been ok because the ruler of the province had passed this into law and forced us to fight.
This sums it up nicely
The guys I throw with and myself will usually rotate between playing Axis&Allies, Risk, and D&D about twice a month. The more beer you consume, the more fun it gets.

Ah, beer. Is there anything it doesn’t improve?
HAH! Nerds. I played a lot of magic the gathering and Everquest, and was even on the math team, but never played D&D so that makes me cool, right?

Well, if it had been D&D instead of EQ, then I’d say, yeah. But you’re only partially cool.

you have to take all your clothes off and put on a blindfold.
I am a huge dork. I am fully comfortable admitting that. Just because someone is a nerd doesn’t mean they can’t have a life or be cool too.
Though to be fair the majority of nerds I have met were indeed social rejects.
That’s why I surround myself with nerds that also have lives/personalities.
DnD is fun. Basically, it is group collaborative storytelling, one of the oldest human past times.

Well, the story IS actually true. It didn’t happen to my group, and it has probably been copied hundreds of times. But it’s pretty much a true tale – takes place in the 70’s during the 1st edition D&D.
Dave Arneson, the co-creator of D&D along with Gary Gygax, is the one who tells the original story. He knew both the participants.
I thought it was hilarious so I thought I’d share it. I suppose it’s possible that someone threw Arneson’s name on a fictional tale, but he’s pretty well established as one of “the” foundational guys, so I buy it. Besides, if at least one of the urban legends isn’t true, what fun is there in life? 
I’ve been playing Warhammer with my kids about twice a year. We usually have a 3 day tournament over New Years and another one when school lets out. It’s got lots of fun dice rolling and killing stuff, but without having to pretend you’re an elf and no one feels compelled to speak in a poncey British accent.

Yeah I spent a fair amount of time/money on Warhammer and 40k.
