This weekend I did something dreadful and dirty and I hope you’ll still like me, but...I played D&D. Yeah I designed a character and made my friend teach me how to play. He reluctantly accompanied me to Powell’s and I had to ask the salesperson for the special dice while he shamefully lingered in the corner. Then we cackled all the way home in the

I just started playing too! Tell me about your character! Mine is a half-elf ranger named Setsuko.

Mine is a human Bard named Hyacinth :)

I haven't played D&D in at least 8 years. For extra dork points, though, I named all of my characters with names I got out of Dune. That's double bonus dork points.

WOW. You win.

I've never played but it looked really fun on that one episode of "Freaks and Geeks."
My boyfriend has D&D nights with all of his Nerd Buddies. I'd watch a game if it weren't for all the pot smoke.

omg pot smoke is the only thing that would make this even more fun. it's not really suitable as a drinking game.

I feel my need to proclaim my incredible love of chess. I used to play with my mom, until I called her a bastard for taking my rook (one of my favorite pieces). In my defense I didn't know what the word ment. I have yearned to collect chess boards I think they are beautiful.

umm.... at least you learned how to play chess...

i have the feeling that i'm going to have to learn how to play Risk sometime soon. Maybe nerds are nerds for a reason. Who knows?

Oh Risk is super fun and easy to play. You have no excuse for not learning, and once you learn you'll be throwing "Overthrow the Emperor" Risk Parties.
