yeah, this pastor was real cool he had as much fun as any of the kids. He played a cleric (duh!) and his theology background really made his character cool. He was a Lutheran pastor and from what I understand they are not so closed minded as some of the other denominations can be.

My older sister. She is five years older than me and I really looked up to her as a kid. She was very popular in high school (she was in this dance squad/cheerleading type thing at our school) and is very beautiful. I could not be more opposite of her and sometimes she made fun of me for my geekiness. :\ Anyway, one day she saw us playing and was curious enough to ask about it. We helped her make a character and she stuck around and played for about an hour with us. The moment I remember best was that the party killed an evil PC and I, as the DM, asked her what her character was doing.
She asked, "What do his boots look like?"
I shrugged- I hadn't really thought about it. I told her they were OK boots, nothing special.
"I take his boots," she replied without hesitation.
I'm not sure if this had to do with her love of shoes or some impulse of beginning players to take everything that isn't nailed down.

We were Baptists, and some of the people in church didn't like it at first, but they got over it real quick. Surprisingly the person I had the most trouble with was my mom. She thought it really taught you how to Speak with the Dead and how to Raise the Dead. Needless to say she's a pretty gullible person, but she eventually realized it was just a game.
Anyone ever watch Freaks and Geeks? I loved the episode where James Franco ended up playing D&D with the geeky kids.

This is so ironic that this is getting brought up because I think I have everyone beat after this weekend.
---warning my gf and i lifestyle may not fit in with traditional american culture so if this offends you please skip.
My gf and I have been known to dabble in alternative lifestyle. A few months ago, we were with a couple and struck up a conversation with another couple. The wife of that cuple expressed a profound interest in d and d but had no idea how to get into it. She approached us after we told her about our trip to gencon. Well we thought, that was wierd but that was just one person. So my gf invited her to join her campaign when it starts.
Well another couple, good friends of ours, just opened up a swingers club in the area. So we went and stayed until the club closed and we happened to be with the couple from the first paragraph. We had all been drinking and talking and we mentioned how we won't be coming to the club next week because we'll be on a gaming trip. The other couples eyes lit up and they said, "what are you guyus hiding from us, why havn't you told us about this before.". It turns out the guy and his wife were facinated by the game and have always been interested in "RPG type games" but since they are not heavily marketed towards black people they shied away. It was just wierd because we're all in "lifestyle" attire sitting there and we're the nerds in all of us are sitting here having a logical dicussion about d and d. It was very wierd because we'd never thought our two hobbies would interact.
So my gf sent them a link to the wotc demo and now they want into her campaign as well. I told my GF that her campaign is going to be wierd as it will probably be the first all swinger campaign.

There's this woman I often catch cabs with in the mornings when I'm treated in a non-Eric's-Grandma-appropriate fashion by Metro. Works in the same building as me, but a different company. Very nice looking, too.
So, last Thursday it was stinking hot outside, and I was trying to decide if I really wanted to get Stormwrack and the Explorer's Handbook or if I could wait until later. She's waiting for the shuttle with me, asks me why I'm so pensive, and I tell her I'm not sure I want to walk up and down three hills to go to a gaming store.
"Oh, like Magic? Or D&D? I used to play that in high school."

Actually, mine is my dad's coworker. He's a bald man, and when my dad mentioned in passing that me and my brother played D&D, he assaulted him with a thousand questions about the game.
