For All My Fellow Geeks
I just saw this article about John J. Miller's love for D&D on National Review and that this Saturnday marks the 30 year aniversary of D&D. Either you are revolted by it or agree that Dungeons and Dragons is cool. I fall into the cool catagory, which shows how much of a geek I am deep down inside. My favorite quote:
Yet I've remained nostalgic about D&D. I still have a box, stashed away in the recesses of my basement, that holds a Player's Handbook, a Monster Manual, and, of course, the DMG with that big red monster on the cover. Duct tape is the only thing keeping these battered volumes together. Stuffed into the box with them are a collection of adventure modules, stacks of character sheets, and folders full of carefully drawn maps of cities, kingdoms, and worlds that have existed only in my imagination. It's a pretty big box, this one. And no — as I inform my wife every year or two — I won't get rid of it.
That's because I've long harbored a secret notion in the back of my mind: Wouldn't it be awesome to get a game going again?
I have the same notion sometimes and have recently put that notion into practice with some of my fellow geek friends.
