    The Gamer's Bag: Excellent

    The Gamer's Bag made a kipah (Jewish skullcap also called a yamulkah) for me with a D&D theme. It's so cooool! Unfortunately, my digital camera is busted. Otherwise I'd post a pic. Thanks, Paladin & PaladinWife. You're the greatest! :cool:

    [Jew] Fantasy/D&D kippot

    Oh, I know. But if you've been circumcised and you want to convert to Judaism, they have to draw blood from your century worm. Youch! Bagel Golem

    [Jew] Fantasy/D&D kippot

    It's neither wrong for you to want one nor to wear one. Weird, but not wrong. I think that most Jews would think it pretty funny or strange - they wouldn't be offended. Bagel Golem

    [Jew] Fantasy/D&D kippot

    I'm assuming that the picture is one of you - which means you're male. Do you realize what converting to Judaism involves if you're a guy? *w-i-n-c-e* :D Bagel Golem

    I do have a digital camera, so I could. But it'll have to wait until next week some time. Hope that's OK. ;) Bagel Golem

    [Jew] Fantasy/D&D kippot

    It's the skullcap worn by some Jewish men, and sometimes Jewish women in Reform congregations. The Pope and cardinals have something similar. Bagel Golem

    [Jew] Fantasy/D&D kippot

    I received a fantasy/D&D kippah (yamulke) I ordered from The Gamer's Bag which is owned by Paladin & Paladinwife. The kippah is sooo kewl. I can't wait until next Purim! :) It has a dwarf fighter, an elf archer, a human wizard and a human paladin. The kippah is made by hand by Paladinwife...

    Just imagine the following conversation :D : ----------------- Gentile DM: What race would you like for your new PC? Jewish gamer: Well, it's got to be an elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome, half-elf or half-orc. Right? Gentile DM: Or human. Jewish gamer: No, not human. I'd have to break the head...

    Gamers keeping Shabbat

    That's exactly what I was thinking! ;) It would be so cool if it had a D&D theme on one side and the stars of David pattern on the other. You could wear the D&D one for gaming and Purim, and the stars the rest of the time. Also (and this is such a Jewish question :p ) how much would it cost...

    And the Pope for much the same reason as far as I know. I'm not an expert on Catholicism, so I stand to be corrected. Bagel Golem

    Re: Re: Re: Fascinating The fact that they're 3D. No statuary in general is allowed, although representations of inanimate objects is considered an exception. In answer to your second question, it does derive from the commandment against graven images. You can't have 3D representations made...

    I've never been to Gen Con, so I can't say. But my guess is you wouldn't be the only Jewish gamer, even if you're the only one with a kippah. I know of at least one person who is in the RPG industry who is Jewish and goes to conventions. Most sushi isn't kosher - it's made of trafe (unkosher...

    I don't know what my stats are, but I definitely have the dreaded abilities of Schmooze, Kibitz and Chutzpah. Heaven help you if I use all 3 at once! I can also cast Create Chicken Soup three times a day (breakfast, lunch and dinner), but not on Shabbat. :D I don't have a pic of myself, but...
