Whenever my fellow nerdlets and I would try to go outside, the stupid DM would rain down lightning on our heads, so that would always end that trip real quick. Steve, welcome to the rotation of blogs I waste time on daily. Congrats. I just totally lost my shit at work while reading that “Lizardman Caves” diatribe.

Let's go there!" Ha! I once tried to start an adventure not in a tavern (it was on the deck of a recently docked ship) and the players immediately asked “Is there a tavern we could talk in?

Except you didn't start of with "Your party is in the local tavern..." Every adventure I ever went on started in a tavern. Man, now I feel like I played D&D.

I hate DMing too! Damn players always want to do their own thing and here I am...having written an entire world for them! "The adventure is Lizardman caves, you douches! Why are you so intent on going out and exploring the woods? Cocksuckers! While in the woods you find a cave full of lizardmen? Oh. you don't want to go inside? A beholder appears and kills you 10 different ways. I'm taking my shit and going home. Fuckers. See you next week." Whew. Now I feel like I actually played some D&D! Woot! Bah. I hate DMing too!

It's much better when everyone's all in a room, gorged unto insensibility on pizza and Dr. Pepper, and cross-examining the shit out of the DM. You gotta be able to look that wily bastard in the eye.

My paladin had 18/99 strength, but my ranger/magic-user only had 18/76. I forget the paladin's name, now. C-something the Bold, I think. Cador?

I still chuckle about the phase where every character (even mages) had to have 18-50/100 strength. this of course coincided with borrowing mjolnir and battling the fenris wolf and norse gods. good times. I can't even imagine life w/o d&d. not to mention everything it influenced in my life (including metal miniatures, good literature, and some of the greatest video games of all time - oh, baldurs gate II, I love you so). d&d sleepovers up the street are some of my fondest memories.

I spent days of my childhood just reading those tables and thinking of the possibilities and combinations. Man. What a wonderful childhood I had cause of Gygax. So when do we play a game, Steve? I got the 3.5 books and with 4.0 on the verge of release…we should try to pay the man some sort of tribute! A whole lot of who I am was rolled randomly on so many of Gygax’s tables.
