Kman and I have actually run into guys like that before...
The worst was some dude following a clerk at like two feet from his back talking about his ranger casting a web spell to save the day.
You could tell the clerk was looking for the quickest way to off him self.
Kman and I ran to avoid being spoted and homed in on...

BluSpecs statement hardly does this guy justice... He's become legendary after but a moment in our life that was touched by his greasy, dice fondling hands. We were walking around Attactix...a great game shop here in Denver and this guy comes into our field of view as we cruise through the shelves of books looking for a CoC supplement. He's over six feet tall. Hair down past his shoulder blades, unkempt and probably made a Save Vs. Combs for the last decade. His face was stubbly...but not the kind of stubbly that comes from lack of shaving, more like the kind that comes from INCORRECT shaving. You know, patches everywhere that indicates he probably shaved infront of a wall, sans the mirror, or on a roller coaster ride. His three hundred and fifty pound frame has been shoved into an old, weathered TSR shirt with a wizard on it and a pair of red, nylon biking shorts. His socks are but an inch below his calves and his tennis shoes have scribbles all over them that indicate he spent his time thinking of character names rather than trying to get his GED. Anyway, like BluSpecs said, he was following the clerk who was diligently trying to stock the shelves with the same books we were looking for. "...So then I had my ranger cast a 'Web' spell on the area to prevent the orcs from attacking. Then I moved in with my longsword and using the power attack feat..."That was it... That was all of the nigh legendary conversation heard at Attactix. It was such a nasal voice and delivered in such a nerdific fashion, that as soon as I had paid for my book and exited...BluSpecs and I burst into laughter. So much so that I couldn't drive my car straight all afternoon as we tried to mimick the guy and his short tale. I would even go so far as to call the guy, "The Anti-Bard". For it isn't a lie. The clerk glanced at us with a look in his eyes that said... "Please turn into a pretty young girl so this guy will be distracted for a second and I can dive behind the dice bins..."But alas, despite the deperate eye plea from the clerk, we could not. So we did the next best thing... Left him and "Anti-Bard" to finish the legendary tale of "The Ranger and the 'Web' Spell" while we drove off laughing. Cold?...probably.  |

That clerk was my cousin. He committed suicide hours after.
...well, maybe not.
That's pretty funny, though. Every time I think of picking up a job at a game store (I'm an unskilled teenager, it's an option!), I hear another story like that and just cringe.

In my opinion, most females I've seen behind the dice in D&D (no matter the edition) are witless fools who care about making up happy story time, and not doing what the rules specify they can. Even the ones that play for a long time still get confused every time we get into a battle, or try to update characters. Their minds cannot grasp the concept or something. I don't get it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all women can't play, just most of them that I've met.
That's my two bits.

IMHO D&D has for has become more of a poker night it’s not that girls aren’t capable of playing they just don’t see the point.

Choo choo bear is the funniest character in the whole comic strip. I love how he can just somehow morph his body into undescrible objects. How 'bout the time he dresses up as the "Clockwork Cat"

Choo-choo bear reminds me of my cat, but the guys in the strip Jevva put up remind me of wizard.
BTW, that's a great idea, with the tarrasque and whatnot.

Davan, probably. Since being introduced to this strip by you guys, I have since read the entire thing. I'm a Something Positive junkie, now. Thanks assholes. Naw, it's cool. I love having another webcomic to read. And that one's hilarious. Maybe sometime I'll post some of my favorite strips on here. |
