Top Ten Signs You Play Too Much AD&D
« on: July 08, 2007, 01:46:28 PM »
Here are the Top 10 signs That You Play Too Much AD&D. Feel free to add to it.

1. Someone says "Why do you have all those numbers tattooed on your hand?", and you reply "Those aren't tattoos, they're die imprints."
2. Your elven fighter has had sex within the last six years - and you haven't.                                                             
3. You decide to play a zombie, just so you and your character can have the same skin color.
4. You've been surviving so long on Doritos, Coke, and pizza that your body now contains more plastic than your dice.
5. You can recite, verbatim, every single rule from the DMG�.but you can't remember how many kids you have.
6. You sign personal correspondences with your character's name.
7. After months of work, you have made up the entire dwarven language - words, rules of vocabulary, the whole lot. You are bilingual, and can now speak fluid dwarven. Your friends stare at you strangely, and no one will sit on the same side of the table as you.
8. Drug addict and alcoholic friends of yours often stop you to say "Dude, get a grip".
9. Your "If I won the lottery" plans involve creating: (a) a really cool AD&D room, or (b) hiring actors to play monsters so that you and your friends can play AD&D for real.
10. You'd rather get a natural 18 when rolling character statistics than win the lottery.

11. When you wake up one morning only to go berserk when you realize you can't find your spellbook to prepare your daily allotment.

12. All of your friends are from gaming sessions or D&D-related message boards.  You haven't been to a bar or on a date in years, if ever.

13. Your dice bag weighs more than your dog.  Also, you know precisely how many dice are in the bag and can tell immediately if one is missing.

14. You swear "by the gods" when in public, or use badly compiled Old English jargon on a daily basis.

15. The first thing you think of when you're impulse-buying is how many miniatures you can afford.

16. Once upon a time, your bookshelf collapsed under the weight of your supplemental texts.

17. You named your child after your favorite character.

20. You don't want to get up from the game table to go use the restroom because that would leave you open to an Attack of Opportunity.

22. You know enough about D&D to add to the Top Ten lists when they're posted... and you actually want to.

23. You have a certain way you hold and/or shake the dice when you roll them, and you consider your "release technique" advanced.

24. You describe people around you using one or more D&D ability scores: e.g., "Yeah, she's high Intelligence, but low Wisdom."

25.  You've spent a fair amount of time thinking about your own ability scores.  You can't decide whether your Strength is 8 or 9, but you're sure that Constitution must be pretty high, because you were up until 4 this morning finishing a dungeon crawl.

26.  You don't see a friend waving at you across the room.  You tell him sorry, you failed your Spot check.

(All of which I've done...   O:-) )

28.  You've programmed a dice roller on your TI-83.  And maybe one specifically for rolling 4d6, drop the lowest.

government’s job is to help them to do it. Not to tell people how to
live their lives. But to make their choices possible, to release their
potential, no matter who they are. The way to do that is to take power away from those who hoard it. To challenge vested interests. To break down privilege. To clear out the bottlenecks in our society that block opportunity and block progress. And so give everyone a chance to live the life they want." - Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats and Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

29) you make the classical D&D joke.


(joke, if you don't know it)
Your a mage and in a dark room.
You cast a spelled called magic missle into the darkness
Your friends ask you what type of mage are you
You reply mage of light
Then you guys laugh because you casted magic missle into the darkness when your a light mage.
NOT FUNNY

31.) You actually laugh at that dumbass joke, no matter how many times you're heard it.

32.) You tell your boss you can't work a certain day, ever, because of a prior commitment and try desperately to hedge around the fact you're taking off work for a game.
