The comments from the wife were excellent. I'm going to have to forward this article on to my wife. Tupperware indeed!

Yeah, reminds me of my wife. She calls me here little dork.

I respond "Well, at least I don't have a dork fetish!" .

See, I wasn't gonna post this here, but since you did...

(I'm the DM, Pallandrome was the Orc, and she got all of it on record. God help us )

You keep assuming I have some sense of shame. Why do you keep doing that?

Yes, well, I've been trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. I see my faith was misplaced Well done sir!!!

I wonder: Would it be dorky to point out all the things she didn't get quite right about the game? I guess so

What it didn't show was nerds dressed in armour and hooded cloaks, leaping on tables and chanting spells, which seems to be a common understanding of what goes on at an RPG session.

Yep. Have to remind people about that constantly.

Hopefully, an article like this gives some perspective to people who say "roleplaying is so dorky. Oh, gotta run! I have to catch the season finale of Buffy, then I'm starting the new Harry Potter book!"

Personally, I would say that reading mainstream books or watching TV shows isn't that weird, D&D can be considered a lot weirder.

What I don't get is that many kinds of weird are apparently accepted without batting an eye.

Someone's fan of this sports club or that, and when they fail to win the championship, you see people in tears about it, as if someone died. Someone's close to killing himself because his team didn't get the cup this time, but we're the weird guys.

"You guys are dorks!"

Says the lady watching American Idol.

The wife making the dork comment could have been my wife as well. She has given me blessings to mold our children into dorks as well, because she thinks they are sexy.

I'm thinking we should pitch in and get the wife some +2 Tupperware, as a way of saying, "Thanks for being such a swell gal."

It will also keep her from storing leftovers in the Temple.

That's an enjoyable article.

Morgan, 26, plays with a character that is a noble scout. In the real world he teaches high school math and prefers not to tell his students how he spends his Tuesday nights.

I wonder if Morgan's students read the paper.
