[QUOTE="STARP_Social_Officer, post: 3064075, member: 41202"] OK. I have many. Here are some, in brief: [list]Watching a [I]Star Trek [/I]episode with my sister, she wondered aloud why sometimes they referred to a warp coil and sometimes to a warp core. I spent some time explaining the difference. In my defence, I don't actually know what a warp coil is supposed to do and I just made the whole thing up, but the fact I was able to do it and sound convincing is, somehow, worse than really knowing. [/list] [list]A twenty-minute argument over in-game economics with my DM. It got quite heated. I was adamant he'd made a bad call regarding exchange rates or something, and he wouldn't hear me out. Thing is, neither one of us knows anything about economics. We both felt like such geeks after that. [/list] [list]Because I was bored, I decided to 'name' my Players Handbook. I called it Fred. (My 3.5 edition is Fred Jnr). Soon, my entire gaming group were doing it. My DMG is "Son of Billy Bob" and my MM is "Gavin II". Not everybody updated to 3.5 - those who did did what I did and carried on the names. Other names include "Angelina", "Norman", "Clancy", "Fergie" and "Chuck". I wanted my mate to call his books "Vera", "Chuck" and "Dave" but he didn't get the joke. [/list] [list]I signed up to a bulletin board where they talk about Role Playing Games.
