My 13 year old Daughter and her friends are playing D&D in the Kitchen...

[John Q. Mayhem]

Wow. They fired you for fraternizing with the students or something? Sucks, but I guess I can see their position...


TB, that rocks on toast and stuff.

Sounds excellent! I wish I had more contact with my nephews. I hear they play now, but I've yet to play with them or run a game for them.

Oh and of course, I DM stewardesses.

Never miss a chance to throw that in there, do ya? *jealous look*

No, they fired him for being "too truthful in class."

Probably decided to start discussing things the School Board didn't like - possibly involving the heritage of various members of the school board, if my limited experience with school boards is any indication ...

I think we have those in Britain too, only they are called INSET (IN SErvice Training) days.

glass.

My aunt's a teacher and used to talk about those. For ages I thought it was INSECT day - which confused me no end.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Well, it's their usual game which is far too surreal for me to explain without it sounding like nonsense.

I'll give you a flashback to an earlier game of theirs....

The Players, as they are leaving a town where they just traded a Merchant's Daughter they rescued for a reward of a "Basket of Apples that change the color of your hair when you eat them" ( :\ ), are suddnly ambushed by a Giant, hopping Brain which appears to be spitting arrows at them.

They are understandably freaked out and spurr their horses to get away from the brain. On of the girls throws a spear at the brain, and it screams, and from inside it run two goblins--one of whom was Carrying the "Brain Costume" and looking out a hole, while the other fired a crossbow out the hole he was looking out of. The one who could see was basically "directing the fire" of the crossbowman.

They turn around and massacre the goblins, and find a Talking, flying Cat as treaure.

I see Blue Rose in these kids' future.

Seriously, though, I think it's great to have a (very) different perspective on what constitutes a fantasy game. You need a Story Hour about their game!

The dad has the game, so he should let them at least read it

Well, he did say the guy was "one of the girls." Of course, he could go the total paranoid route and think that's all a very clever disguise to "get at the goods" but, eh, it's a bit much...

I can't elaborate because of Eric's Grandma, but I knew a guy in college who did this perfectly. Fooled all the straight guys for years, but ALL the women knew otherwise.

 

[Teflon Billy]

Did you introduce her to gaming? She use your books? My first one is on the way, and I'd love it if she loved gaming as much as I do... but we'll see.

She mostly goes through my books and looks at the art (she is a phenomenal artist...her gift for "Anime" is uncanny. Never alesson either. Entirely self-taught), but no, I'm reasonably sure that Emma is the only one of them witha consistent grasp of the rules.

 

[Teflon Billy]

Absolutely nothing. I have nothing against the guys in my gaming group either, but it's still pretty cool when just the girls get together and game.

Actually, on second thought, I feel kinda bad now. I wouldn't want to be excluded and wouldn't want anyone to feel left out. I withdraw my suggestion.

Yeah I was going to refer you to what became the "It's a Sin to refuse to let people game with you based on Gender" thread

Not exactly perfectly then, eh?
