D&D 5E So I get this email at work today... :D

... from a member of the social committee about clubs. They are thinking about making various clubs and are asking which one we are interested in, or if we have any suggestions.

So I replied that I could be interested in the book club or walking club, but that I was definitely interested in the gaming club.

I then added "But if we could have a vorpal club, that would be really sharp"

Later today I will post what kind of reaction my proposal got, if any. The social committee member behind this initiative is pretty geeky so...

Be careful with those - one mistake and you'll wind up with a splitting headache.

We got one of those sorts of emails at work, too. I thought about how it might be neat to run an hour-long D&D session during lunch once a week. I mean, I work in IT, there have to be other gamers. But then I thought about how awkward it would be if, say one of the directors’ characters got killed. I decided that, no, I have enough gaming in my life.

Not as sharp as your wit, sir. You slay me (by Decapitation on a 20).

I always assumed it'd be more of a pain in the neck.

Many years ago, I was handed a fill-in-the-blank bio sheet when I started a new job. I was feeling social, so I actually listed "gamer" under hobbies/interests. I had several people asking me about FPS, Warcraft, etc. This was 2003-ish, so it hadn't really hit me that folks would interpret "gamer" as video games. I'm not that kind of gamer.

So... after that, I just kinda gave up on "coming out" at work.

...vorpal club...

But you can't do that! You can't make a club into a vorpal weapon!

No reply. Clearly she felt that the joke was dull.

Why isn't there a "Dis/approve of this pun" button yet? I approve btw.
