Aw man... I LOVED DnD. Me and some friends were TOTALLY into it. We hand-painted the little metal statues and entered tournaments and rolled the 10 sided dice as if our lives depended on it!

Of course, we were in grade four. What's these guy's excuse?

Erhm...

Cuz everyone knows that grown men play at fighting airplanes!

A couple of my nerdier friends played D&D while I was running around my house with model F4U's and making machine gun noises during strafing runs in the kitchen.

LOL.  I remember a few years ago at GenCon in Milwaukee... these Warhammer 3000 - or whatever the hell its called - turds jump up on the table and scream at the players in costumes.  They'd get all riled up - "AND YOU ROLLED A 5!! MOVE CATAPULT THREE INCHES TO THE LEFT NEXT TURN BEYOOOOTCH!!   DID NOT SPECIFY... unghh... lady in blue comin' through!"

it was funny - i took some pictures of some of the freaks :D  then again... i wanted to join them :( :D

Leaving Saur out of this cuz that's just disgusting....

Yeah for sure!

There's easier ways to score a chick... But if you're a geek and need to play act at DnD to score a wench I mean maiden, then shreck, alla power to ya!

The mage o' thousand lightning bolts is most obviously a current member of the FDB's.  The girl apparently never made the cheerleading squad but she sure is convincing at the end of the video.  She's like a "groupie" or somethin'....

I didn't get into that crap until college when it was either play those games with ex-Navy engineers or sit around the house watching 1 of 4 television stations (and the tv sucked after football season was over).  I still have one of the barbarian warrior figures I hand-painted.  Its sitting on my scale model workbench getting in the way.  One of these days I'm going to clean it up and put it in a box.  Or lose it.  I've already lost a ninja figure I used for my Thief characters (which I managed to get killed off every other week).  

I quit playing AD&D when I got good enough at beach volleyball to not look like that skinny guy in the Charles Atlas comic book ads.

Hey man I dunno - all I was able to figure out is that if I go into Google and type in something called 'gen con' I get all sorts of neat pictures of plastic axe wielding nextdoor neighbors.

Man - and you guys bust on me for having a whoopee lightsaber.  

I give you the level two finger - this **** it just plain weird.

I once saw a video of a club/society that gets together, makes outlandish armour and weapons from colored foam and then have huge 100 player battles in their local parks. These D&D geeks have nothing on those guys.

BritneySpears14: Oh, I like to play dress up.

BritneySpears14: I kiss you softly on your chest.

BritneySpears14: Hey...

BritneySpears14: Funny I still don't see it.
bloodninja: I spend my mana reserves to cast Mighty ***** of the Beyondness.

sweet, I turn 30 this year too.

I played D&D, but man, never did we do THAT.

Besides, that lightning bolt "wizard" cheated.   No way he could even memorize 8 lightning bolts let alone cast them all within 18 seconds.

umm, yes, I'm a geek.  I had a geek card, but it got revoked when I didn't see Return of the King on opening weekend.  ;)

GoFaster how you can let your Ninja character be killed is beyond me?? I mean, Ninjas are totally awesome, flip out all the time and kill goblins and dragons!!


Saurdaukar:rofl :rofl :rofl

No worries Nifty, you're still a geek in my book :p


And I've never played D&D...and besides I'm no geek as I never went past level 10.

I had a gift for finding loose stones that opened trap doors.  I would try the ninja spread-eagled-across-the-opening trick but the door would also be just a few inches wider than I was long and down I'd go.  I think the DM had it out for me because I refused to play "in character".
