These days, I'll settle for when people cheer so loudly the audio clips and distorts as it hits up against the compression. When I can feel the excitement even through the internet.Agreed. The kid that introduced me to D&D was an older heavy metal kid (though not as old as Eddie, who as far as I can tell would be about 20 years old, maybe even 21, if he's failed to graduate three times). I knew plenty of kids that used their "outcast" status as armor against the cruelties of high school. I also cheered when I saw Eddie had a Dio back patch on his battlevest.That is the same year I discovered D&D, as well.I'm really enjoying this season so far, and how it's also re-centered D&D in its narrative. As for the game itself, I thought it was a lot of fun and a great storytelling device. It captured the excitement of a good game, when we're transported somewhere else by such simple tools as dice, pencils, and paper. As for the authenticity, the only thing that felt a little off for me was that the dice looked a little too nice for 1986.</blockquote>
