Giant D&D nerd squeeel!!!

[TheSp8]

Gamers! Who am I kidding? My 23 yr old son is a gamer, DD, Warhammer, and Eve online. I used to sit around and watch my Soldiers play D&D.

Am I still unconscious?

YMOS,

Yeah, but will this new "Surface" system allow me to cast magic missile at the darkness?

Probably not. Especially if you spilled Mountain Dew on it!

I don't care if Arlen plays D&D, (how retro) but I'm a little worried that he employed, and typed out the word "squeee!!!"
You see in Sci-Fi circles that word is generally only used by excited girls that see things they like, for example; "Squeee! there's that sparkle dude from Twilight" -or- "Squeee! a new Harry Palmer Book!"

Personally i know D&D is nerdy, but as a good friend of mine said " nerdy things get put down because well, nerds play them, but they are often the funnest things in life." (this comes from my friend who is the capt of the football team at my school) And most nerds get stereotyped as people who have no friends, are nonathletic and have never had a girlfriend. Now I' am a huge nerd i have been ever since i was little and i do play D&D once a week with some of my best friends. I also play rugby (and i' am the capt of our team). My band is about to come out with its First full length album and i take care of my 2yr old daughter, and have a job as a farm hand. D&D, Warhammer and other games of the sort are a nice little reprieve from the all work i do in my daily life, plus once you actually play and experience the game first hand with some friends its hours of inexpensive fun.

I wish I had the time to sit down for a weekly session of tabletop. As it stands, I do the next best thing (IMO of course) Dark Age of Camelot and LotRO.

...keep your hands away from my special D20...

Okay, I admit it; I'm a geek. I used to play D&D every week.

One of my favorite characters was a halfling known as Lord Bondro, High Diplomat of the Vale. One of his most noteworthy accomplishments was getting the mayor of a large town to finance a shipping caravan to the Vale by getting the mayor stoned on "special" pipeweed. Of course, the Vale didn't exist and the mayor let Bondro handle all the money.

I now spend my Saturday evenings doing other things:

There is an entertaining thread about D&D, nerdyness, and such here:

Weirdest response you've ever gotten when telling someone you play D&D

Mind you it's huge. But some of it is very funny. And occasionally it goes off the rails. So, nothing like threads in other forums then...

I will not reveal which of the posters in it is myself -- a +5 sword to anyone that can spot me.

Also, I refuse to answer any questions about my evasiveness...

I have to make a sanity roll after reading this thread!

I'm happy to say that D&D not only taught my dyslexic cousin how to read, but it also keeps him off the streets -- he works for Wizards of the Coast.
