We got banned from a house!

[Greatwyrm]

I can see exactly why the teacher and parents were concerned. The material components for the spell in question include a bit of fur and a rod fashioned from amber, crystal or glass. Amber and crystal are expensive, and crystal and glass are both potentially dangerous on a preschool playground. Where did she get the fur, praytell? I picture a class hamster with a bald spot.

Nah. The first thing I'm going to teach my daughter is Eschew Material Components. Otherwise, she'll put me in the poor house just trying to keep up on bat guano and old bits of rusted armor.

I'm sure that Fisher-Price makes a toddler Material Components Playset.

We can all be glad that she just imitated the wizard casting a lightningbolt, and not the ritualistic looney that was sacrificing young maiden to Orcus the lord of the undead...

Yeah, feel free to link this to Nutkinland if you like, and if you could, post that link here (I am not familiar with Nutkinland).

Anyhow, no word yet from the mom. I left a message via phone and email. So I guess I will wait and see.

Is that a troll?

Or would said girl's parents ban their TV set is after watching, say, Star Wars, the little girl was running after her classmate while waving her arms wildly and imitating a lightsaber's noise, "fwooom, fwooooom!" ?

HEY!!! The mom is PREGNANT!! Rational and fair thought isn't necessarily her strong point right now. Give her time to shoot that baby out and get her hormones back in line, if they ever do. Then, maybe, she'll change her mind.

Then again, maybe she is a gaming hater spouse who is using this as her big "legitimate" excuse to ban that ever so annoying and intrusive group/game into her life and house. Besides, you guys probably never clean up any of that mess of soda cans, chip bags, and pizza boxes before you leave.

Either way, as unfortunate as it may be, it is her house and her child. It is totally within her and her husband rights to ban you guys, for ANY reason.


Hopefully it is just hormones and you guys do clean up after yourselves. So eventually she may let you guys come back.

For my part, it is not a troll but I don't yet have the full details yet of what exactly went down at the preschool.

5th Level, Congrats!

Third level arcane spells?! That's graduate-level thaumatergy, for crying out loud! I'd be a little saddened too.

Congratulations on raising a 5th level pre-schooler. She's well on her way to Epic.

My nearly-six-year-old and nearly-four-year-old sons are playing the game with me (just Dad and the boys), and they are starting to pretend sword-play a lot more often than before. But until then is was light sabers, guns, Powerrangers, etc. I don't see the harm, until the try to behead a classmate.

However, I would never subject my group to attempting to game while the kids were running around. That just might be my kids, especially now that they are gaming too, as they would be far to interested in what was going on, distracting us from our "adult" version of the game.

I'd link you to Nutkinland, but the new rules have made it a closed community.. the link wouldn't do you any good. Sorry.


This does kinda bring up thoughts in my head of how children in D&D world play when there really are dragons out there and Wizards occasionally pass through town.
