Today's pop-culture D&D reference

[SemperJase]

It promotes the stereo type that only nerds play the game, but it isn't too kind to 'jocks' either. I like this one:

Well, Peter isn't really a jock.

In some ways, he's more of a dork than Jason (who at least has no illusions)

But I liked it, too

Ages ago there was a series of week-day Foxtrots where it was the middle of summer vacation and Paige was bored stiff, so Jason convinces her to play D&D with him.

It was pretty freaking hillarious...

Yeah, I laughed over that in the News and Observer this morning.

Cool. I hope someone more ambitious than myself hunts this down...

*waits*

No problem! This will make you feel like a big stud-jock again. Vin Diesel is a Dungeons and Dragons player:

Foxtrot rocks. I like the way they make fun of our hobby. One comic I saw had Jason (kid with glasses) and his freind Marcus settle and argument by having there D&D characters fight.


As for the Vin Disel thing, wasn't he just buying D&D stuff to research a role he got as Conan's son??? I could be spreading more false rumors but thats what I heard on the net somewhere. And if its on the Net it has to be true

I have them in a book somewhere but I don't have a scanner, sorry.

Actualy, Peter plays DnD too... he's DMed for Jason once or twice.

nah actually if you check it out there are various places where you can read that Vin has been an avid D&D fan since he was 12 years old, which I think is really cool.
