They forgot to play Duck Duck Goose for initiative! D:< I refuse to call this real D&D!

Some people play fast and loose with the rules.

True! However, I think we can all agree that game nights must involve pools of strawberry smoothies and ginormous straws! :O

This looks like the best/worst game night ever. :o

Goin' out for game night! I'll be back in a few weeks!

That made me laugh way too hard.

I hope you had a 'laugh' card to play, or you'll have to roll the n-sided die x times irrationally.

The guy's name is Link? Traveling across an entire land to save a princess seems easier lol.

You should check out their show. Search Rhett & Link on youtube. They're pretty cool guys. They had a daily show, now it's a bigger once-a-week thing. They also do shorts like this and all sorts of cool stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ukPfz5TPPc

Wil Wheaton hosts [Tabletop] which is a YouTube channel you might find relevant.

And it was supposed to be the Numeral 8 tattoo... which of course she did sideways due to lack of space, making it look like infinity.

Infinity is better than 8 anyway.

Hey, you know what's always bothered me? Why is the Roman numeral of 8 VIII instead of IIX? Wouldn't that save time?

I suppose it's because you mightn't know if the extra digit in 18 XIIX was meaning instead 11+9 = 20 instead. Writing it XVIII makes it pretty solid what you mean.

Okay, that does make sense. Ah well.

I've never understood doing D&D regularly, though I also know how it can be fun. The problem is that it requires an extremely dedicated DM who also knows what he or she is doing, and it requires that various members of the group not be, ahem, douche-bags.

That means the following...

1. They don't get peeved at other people's play-styles or Roleplay savvy.
2. They don't create a God/Goddess character that can basically do everything.
3. They rely on each other.
4. They don't create a character that is constantly trying to screw everyone else over. Some funny times like bonking the loud-mouth on the head to get him to be quiet are fine, but there's a fine line between acting like an idiot and being a traitor.
5. They don't get wrapped up in the whole "Player-knowledge vs. Character-knowledge" debate.
