Uh… I understood the comic despite my pathetic experience with D&D, but I was just delighted with the Eddie Izzard reference. I thought of Simon, the god of hairdos.

well, sure, the togetherness can be fun at times. But then again, familarity breeds contempt. Contempt breeds making munckins. Making munchkins breeds hatred. These are the things that lead to the Mary-Sue comic.

Not the same. You can’t so much tell stories from NWN, or they’re not the same… they’re ones people have heard before, because if they’ve played it they know that part already, and if they haven’t they won’t know what you’re talking about (OR you just ruined for them, and I know people who’ll start taking off body parts for that)

And you don’t get moments with the DM like THIS:
DM: And there’s some STUFF in here…
me: I don’t like how you just said “stuff.”
DM: Yesssss…

Or player moments like this:
Player: I need to make a Move Silently roll?
DM: Yes.
Player: [rolls a 1] Shit. I fail.
me: Way to go, Solid Snake.

Or monster-related quotes like this:
“It kind of screams in its undead badger way.”

I love games. That’s kind of a “no duh” thing with me. But nothing’s quite like real tabletop D&D action with friends and too much pop and too many Cheetos. Old-school, proper-like.

I always prefer to play Neverwinter Nights. I get all of the D&D dorkiness without the desire to punch someone in the face

Heh. Whee! My pleasure. ::grin:: I tried to make it seem like Lisa is having a little more trouble and Blue’s handling it with more skill (then again, she’s doing much less of the talking, too). Suffice to say, they’re playing on Light mode – I would call this sucker a warmup. They’re certainly not doing Paranoia, I tell you what ::laugh::

Anyhow. Thankee. You know, I wish we’d gotten more time to just sit down and hang out when you were visiting, to tell geeky stories of sheer dorkitude. Next year you gotta get here early to chill. ::grin::

“Critical loogie”… that’s hilarious. I’ma remember that one. ::laugh::
