i created a d&d monster

Went to play d&d with sgs. It was ok. The play was much slower than I remembered. I was surprised at the several grey heads that were there.

Now the side effect to this foray into the past is all he wants to do is talk to me about d&d stuff. All the time, anywhere and his voice is booming. This weekend I had to ban him from all things d&d at dh's store, where he works.

No good deed ever goes unpunished.

You know, I thought that that would be something fun to get into with the SDs.. but I know NOTHING about it! Is it a game that we could buy (cards, or book or something) to play at home? I think I'd love to try it!

Way back in the dark ages (1983) we had a dungeon master who would verbally start the story and guide the players through an adventure, rolling dice with various side would determine the fate of each player at every engagement. That's all we had dice, a good story, and our imaginations.

Now you play on mats that limit your actions but does keep arguments to a minimum, still roll dice to determine the fate of the character you're playing. There are little figurines you can use to represent your characters. The rules are bit more codified.

If you have a role play game store in your area, go check it out. Often they hold game nights where folks go to play and they are open to all level of players.

It can be quite fun and the possibilities are endless.
