pseudomanitou's journal - he was quoting a few choice bits from a sarcastic list of life lessons. I found this too amusing a glimpse into the way I think to not put here for everyone to see.
Dungeons and Dragons never goes away. Girls will still sense that shit 20 years later.
...and the most interesting girls are the ones who can fire back war stories about their twenty-first level Drow paladin.
The only really good story I have is from the 'minor gods' campaign, where the PCs were just that.
We were supposed to go deal with this huge divine fortress. Well. Instead of going in head-first, we went to the local tavern and one of us took the shape of a Mysterious Old Man who has an Adventure suitable for a Party of Three to Seven Characters between Levels 9-12. They got crisped pretty quick.
Hey, none of them were our worshippers, what did we care?
Ultimately we pissed off the DM by figuring out the quick way to get to the top of the tower, instead of slogging our way through level by level. n.n
Oh, and there was the Blake's 7 game, where I was an insectile spiky alien who somehow got allied with the party, and there was the near-future game where I was a hacker who happened to be the daughter of a net AI that liked to present as Yog-Sothoth (yes, she got called the 'Dunwich Whore'), and there was the anthro raccoon from out of Shadow in an Amber game, who got cursed such that every wizard he met would immediately hit him with a minor curse (which was modulated by the fact that one of the first curses he got from that was that every wizard he met would then, subsequently, bless him), and the cyber-implanted unicorn in a Shadowrun-type setting with a deflowering fetish... I always tended to end up with the weirdest character in the party. The most 'normal' one I can remember was a half-elf mage called Delbit the Unhinged.
Um, what was my point? Oh, that's right, I don't think I really had one. I just felt like hinting at some war stories. There aren't that many, I tended to fade into the background while other players with better people skills monopolized the spotlight.
Anyway, I can say that I'm one girl who wouldn't want to have anything to do, romantically, with someone who'd never gathered around pizza with several friends for a long session of role-playing.

Re: I have some stories. Most are boring.

I just hope you ditched that set of dice.
