You know, I’m ecstatic about the rise of video games and the mainstreaming of geek culture, but try and tell someone you’re into tabletop gaming, and they still look at you as if you’re a carrier for some particularly dingy sort of plague. All I, and apparently Jane and the News Guy, want to do is a play a simple game of Dungeons and Dragons. Heck, I’ll play by whatever rule set you want. Trust me, I have them all…

Lord Pandar agreed to hide the clue today. Hide is a very good word for what’s been done. All I can say is don’t be too literal…

This is, of course, not the first time we’ve appraised the actions of adventurers.

Sadly, this is actually as far as I’ve gotten in looking at the new rules. I pre-ordered the new rule set from Amazon expecting it to be on my doorstep the day the rules went live, but just received my shipping notice yesterday. Won’t have them in my hands until tomorrow…not that Laurie or Brit will play with me, but my buddy Wes has been talking about meeting up in Indiana for a game…this seems as good an excuse as any…

It is finals week here in Ann Arbor, so I’ve given Brit the week off. She’ll return Sunday, so it’s just me until then. Wish her luck as it’s Geometry today.

The stupid server is down at ThePlanet (they’ve had their fair share of problems lately), so it’s off to bed, and I’ll push this up to Slightly Off-Topic in the morning.
