D&D (& RPGs) at Work

[I'm A Banana]

Yes sir, the zombies are a problem, sir. But I've got good news: I just saved a ton of money on car insurance by switching to Geico!

Fixed it for the TV....

I work in IT/IS and we have a server called BEHOLDER complete with a pic of the D&D Mini on it. The pic is from my collection, but I did not name the server.

I'm currently looking for a job, so can I compare that to the downtime between adventures? Could I be in training for my next level, I wonder?

I had to write a disaster recovery plan recently for an organization that had dedicated no in-house resources to working on the problem, who had allocated no budget to implement any recommendations, and who I knew would never read it. So, under operating scenarios, in between "Water Main Break" and "Civil Unrest" I included 'The Undead Rising from the Grave to Consume the Flesh of the Living'

You'll want to have a copy of the Zombie Survival Guide on hand.

Moved to off-topic, just because it was a better fit.

I've never done this myself, but it gives me new ideas.

I can just see my media plans now:

"Our target audience consists of adults, ages 25-54, with kids in the household and annual household income of $75,000+ and college education. Oh, yes, and also elven paladins."

"What? Excuse me?"

"Nothing. Moving on..."


Not quite related, but years ago one of my best friends was clerking for a judge in one of the circuit courts. He wrote an opinion for the judge and used pretty much every word/phrase from Star Trek that he thought he could get away with. The article was peppered with stuff like "Enterprise", "Engage!", and even had a "make it so" in there. It was a real opinion, though. If he hadn't told me he did that, I honestly wouldn't have known when I read it, and I'm a pretty big Star Trek fan.

But would it sell in Peoria?

So, how else - subversive or not - have worked D&D into your workplace?

I can't think of anything, but I do have to wonder how long you're going to keep all those .sig virues in your signature? It's been over two months!

Well and old job they got rid of half the office. Kept all there computers and printers still set up. Me and friend found the address and printed off TONS of stuff for D&D and what not. We burned through reams of paper and 1 toner cartridge we had to take from another printer.

Does that count?
