Suspect in slays fan of ‘Dungeons’ (Amy Bishop)

My daughter and son in law have some friends who are pretty creepy. They don’t have a clue where they really are, or who they really are, they’re stuck in another dimension.

What’s this, two D&D “related” crimes in how many years?

Ninety percent of D&D players make all the rest of us look like geeks.

Just yesterday my 12 year old son was being chased up a tree by hobgoblins. He said "I know I'll use 'hypnotic pattern' and when they are hypnotized they'll fall out of the tree". I asked "Do they get a saving throw?". He checked the book and it said "saving throw: neg" so he said "negative". I said "That's negates you dummy!". We LOLed for about 5 minutes. The 2nd hobgoblin made his save and smacked the spell right out of him. It was a blast.

>> I've heard that it's not a good idea to tell a military recruiter that you're in to D&D, it's supposed to put a permanent caution flag on your record.

> Well then we have a problem. One of the guys I played with flies F-16 or 18 (never can remember) out of England for the Air Force. Another is an Army Ranger.

On the other hand, if they find out you play Paranoia, you are immediately flagged "Keep Away From All Sharp Objects."

Only a Traitor to the Computer would reveal such sensitive classified information. You traitor.

That information is above your security clearance. Please report immediately to the nearest termination booth. Have a fantastic day!

Hmmmm...never heard of using pistols in a D&D adventure.

Actually, there are firearms rules in the Dungeon Master's Guide (at least in 3rd edition, I haven't read much of 4th edition).

[Christian_Capitalist]

It's Treason to know what constitutes Treason?!

Oh, wait, you're right. That makes perfect sense. (Sigh... {{proceeds glumly to termination booth}}).

:^D

The Computer is your friend.

We only played Second Edition which was the best in our opinion. We had pretty much graduated and stopped playing in order to join the real world by the time 3rd Edition rolled out anyway.

I stopped playing sometime during high school (a few abortive attempts to find a decent group at college notwithstanding) back when it was just AD&D. About 5 years ago, I got “into” the whole d20 system concept based on playing Knights of the Old Republic on the PC, and got back into playing casually via play-by-post email or message board games.

Actually, a current hobby/side business venture of mine is a rewrite of the core 3.5 system rules (which is open content), so I spend more time writing rules than playing these days anyway...

Trust the Computer; the Computer is your friend! The Computer wants you to be "Happy!"

[Christian_Capitalist]

Trust the Computer; the Computer is your friend! The Computer wants you to be "Happy!"

Why do you put "Happy" in quotation marks, Citizen?

Are you implying that the Computer's desire for your happiness is anything but genuine? TRAITOR TRAITOR TRAITOR!!

Oh, crap. I just put "happy" in quotation marks too, didn't I.

LOL!

[Slings and Arrows]

Have a fantastic day!

Um....Bishop’s entertainment preferences get a headline, but not her politics?
