I am going to end this day of geek-out with what is, by far, the geekiest thing I have ever been involved in: Dungeons and Dragons. In Junior High, I would get together with a group of friends on the weekend, and play D&D. I can’t tell you exactly what my character was because, honestly, we were pretty casual about the whole thing.
We were all nerdy outcasts, so it was a lot more about the camaraderie, and getting together, than about playing the game. Though, don’t get me wrong, we played the game. For hours. And hours.
However, this was not my nerdiest encounter with D&D. Not by a long shot. I swear, there’s no reason I should ever admit this in a public forum, but this is, without a doubt, the nerdiest thing I have ever done in my entire life. Ready?
I used to play Dungeons and Dragons… By myself.
I was a pretty smart kid, and would get done with my homework early. So to kill time before dinner, I would take out my D&D kit, break out the dice, and play a game with myself. And I was honest about it, the entire time. If I got a bad dice role, I’d go with it. I developed my character, work on it, and then would play, in my desk, in my room, alone.
So yeah.
Anyway, I’m TOTALLY cooler now, because I spend all of my time at home, blogging on the internet about gadgets. Yup, I’m much cooler.
If you want to see what all the fuss is about, you can check out the brand new Fourth Edition Core Rulebook Boxed Set, which is coming out in June.
