Gary Gygax failed saving throw at age 69.
I'm not about to mock the deceased (although I've done it before). E. Gary Gygax was obviously a very creative man whose games are loved by nerds and the socially inept everywhere. My middle-school self is devastated and would go home tonight and roll a new character in memoriam. As someone who, during my late high school and undergraduate years, came dangerously close to becoming an Adult Who Played D&D (AWPDD - see below), I'll take this somber moment to declare, in honor of Mr. Gygax's passing, that I have played my last game of Dungeons & Dragons.

Bummer. On the bright side, he will prove a worthy companion for Graymalkin and Gor in the afterlife.

I make no such pledge: my dungeons and dragons days are (hopefully) not over. I do pledge, however, to not turn into one of these fat ugly losers you've shown here.

Posted by: b at 06:32 PM Mar 04I only ever tried D&D once, and I was BORED OUT OF MY MIND. I don't know what was worse, the slow pace or the idiotic semantic arguments over every single game development.
Posted by: flygrrl at 09:58 AM Mar 05Flygrrl, if you are referring to our roleplay session at Chris' house, than that definetly was no fun. The pace is (was) normally faster, and I usually enjoyed myself. Arguing over semantics, though, is nearly commonplace.
Posted by: b at 11:22 AM Mar 05I played a lot of D&D as a younger kid. Mostly, I would make up my own dungeons. I saw an article once in Dragon magazine that did a word-for-word exchange of a game, once. I don't remember all the details, but the party came upon a group of about 4 ogres. While three took on the party, one went and sharpened a large, ogre-sized pencil and stabbed one of the characters through his shield. After that, it was never just your typical monsters after that.
I made a whole dungeon based on heavy metal bands. TOTAL.FUCKING.GEEK.
