It might've been too long since you last gamed if...

[BriarMonkey]

... you can't remember your character's name.

 

[Crazy Jerome]

Someone in the group thought it was a good idea to make player name tags for everyone to wear.

That someone would have included character names too, but see Briar Monkey above. So they left a blank for that.

 

[Holy Bovine]

You panic when you break the mug the chits were supposed to go in...

 

[Kannik]

... the DM tells you your character has 8 +1 arrows and you ask the DM if you can purchase 11 more arrows so you have an even 20.

... ... and all of your buddies around the table think its a perfectly reasonable question. (the DM, of course, looks at you like you're from Mars)

(true story)

peace,

Kannik

You roll 3d6 for your stats and put them down in order.

... the DM tells you your character has 8 +1 arrows and you ask the DM if you can purchase 11 more arrows so you have an even 20.

... ... and (the DM, of course, looks at you like you're from Mars)

(true story)

Probably because 8 + 11 = 19.

 

[1Mac]

But 8 + 1 + 11 = 20. That was the joke.

 

[Dice4Hire]

You see an A D&D bood and say,"Advanced? ooooooooo!"

... if you have forgotten how to spell 'D&D book'

 

[Smoss]

If you ask what armies people are playing and are confused when they say they are playing a SINGLE character.

[Stormonu]

You roll 3d6 for your stats and put them down in order.

....And the order is Str, Int, Wis, Dex, Con, Chr.
