Wow, that must have been hard to explain...

Aaron.

Well, he didn't say it very loudly, so I didn't have to explain it to anyone that day. I remember laughing and just whispering back that such a thing couldn't happen in real life; only in games (I had been playing a lot of Icewind Dale, and he often joined me in that game). His next line was, "Then couldn't a scientist invent something to bring her back to life?" I just said 'no' and had a talk later that day (not in the middle of the service). I think he's got the "death is permanent in our world" lesson down now.

Well, when I was in high school (back in the day) I once wrote a paper comparing the differences between 'miracles' and 'magic' for a religion class.

It was pretty much plagarized from one of my DnD books. (1e)

51) His/her favorite part of any hobby shop is the giant fishbowl of extra gaming dice -- forget those trains, RC vehicles, and dolls!!

52) You overhear them explaining to their friends how AoO work in games of tag and duck, duck, goose.

53) They've ever asked you what race, class, or alignment characters in any Disney movie fit into.

54) They created a complete stat block and CR for the flying monkeys in The Wizard of Oz.

55. you are reading the fairy tales at bedtime and they point out that no goat, no matter how gruff, could take on a troll.

56) Kid makes up her own fairy tails that include lines like, the orc breathing nausiating steam into your face growls, ''you enter home, you die.'' In school and you get calling in for a parent teacher conference, where you explain that you will not limit your childs imagination and believe that if school does that then there are issues that need to be taken up with the school board. However, you will talk to you child about scaring other children and suggest that she tell her stories to the teacher in private first. (true story)

Your child is showing a Thomas the Tank Engine card game to her grandmother and says, "I turn Thomas and you take three points of damage!"

As soon as you can trust them to not put the things in their mouths they start to learn numbers by the dice. It makes those silly Zocchi d30 and d100 golfball actually worthwhile.

(58?) Your three year old son has a semicircular scar under his chin from where he fell off of the gaming table and impaled himself on a d10. True story, messageboard mod Reiella can back me up on this sad fact. My son has shed blood for D&D already!

For their birthday, everyone just hands over a copy of Ambients Kid's Coloring Book of Critters safe in the knowledge it's the perfect gift.

Explains to others that Pikatchu isn't pokemon, Ash just took Improved Familiar and adopted a shocker lizard.
