I suppose one could say D&D players are philocubists, then.

For my inaugural post, I present to the committee:

daedal adj. - ingeniously contrived or intricate; skillfully and artistically crafted (The etymology of which I'll bet comes from Daedalus and those wings, or I'm not a mythology buff.)

philocubist n. - someone who likes dice games

and

witzelsucht n. - a morbid tendency to pun, make poor jokes

You realize that by having an icon from The Object Lesson, arguably my favorite poem ever, you have become my hero?

Welcome to the community! Excellent words.

Which makes me feel extremely happy, in turn. Edward Gorey = spectacular, and folks recognizing from an icon exactly the book, too = even better.

And from a lower echelon of nerdom, I was all like "woohoo, D&D mention! go you!"

I cover all the bases, I do. My nerdly network is extensive.

And speaking of networks, plexiform means to be shaped like one.

My Mexican coworker has such a case of witzelsucht!!
