Guy plans to award himself XP for "real life" events...

Apologies if this has already been posted.

Enjoy!

More power to him. This guy realizes he's got a problem, and that sitting infront of a computer monitor for a bazillion hours is not healthy so he's doing something about it.

While I may not agree with his method (a pretty girl is level 10?!), I have to commend him for taking the initiative ( ) and getting out of his house and into the "real world".

This specimen gives geeks a bad name, and that takes some doing.

Thanx!

That was hilarious!

Did you read the one about Saddam and the US accusing him of camping?

Priceless!

In case he wants the pretty girl earlier, he can always invent a prestige class.

I have to agree with VorpalBunny. It's good that he is taking steps and it's kind of interesting. I often find myself assigning stats and such to real life people and events. Or I'll find myself figuring out what I'd need to roll in order to do something. Heck, every day on my way hom from work, I roll the D20 I have at my desk in hopes that a high roll will mean no traffic Granted, I do it all in good fun, and don't take it quite so seriously.

Umm... you guys DO realize that's a humor web site, like the Onion. Right? Right?
