Gary Gygax, the Papa-bear of the Dungeons & Dragons, failed his Save Vs. Inoperable Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm :(

Extremely. Prolific. Author. Inventor. Extraordinaire.

Okay, so Gary Gygax is in heaven and (naturally) is starting up a D&D game. Pick someone who you think would agree to play and what character they will be playing.

Gene Roddenberry - Chaotic Good Fighter

Who else?

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

Abraham Lincoln, Kurt Cobain and Eli Whitney. Playing a half-orc Barbarian, a Halfling Rogue and an Elvish Fighter named "Legolas", but he swears it's not the same Legolas as in The Lord Of The Rings because his Legolas isn't "All Faggy".

And Abe brought along his Afterlife Girlfriend, Janis Joplin. But she's not in to it at first but Abe insisted that she come along, so she started out just listening to the game and Gary talked her in to rolling up a character. So we've also got a Human Fighter named "Janice".

And they can order Pizza from the late, great "Shakey's" chain of restaurants, bless their souls...

Man Janis is going to get bored and her and Kurt are going to go outside for a smoke and then there is going to be a lot of out of character stuff going on and Abe is going to get physical with Kurt and then Gary is going to have to step in and try to bring some order.

Which is okay, because Mahtama Gandi is playing the new wizard in the party and he has experience bringing the peace. And he is serious about his threat not to cast any cure light wound spells unless they get their butts back to the table and start playing the game like adults.

Shakey's!

(No! No! I told myself I wasn't going to cry!)

The players will all chip in to pay for the pizza because Gary started a new rule that the players have to feed the Dungeon Master or he brings out his "special" encounter charts.

In the end I think they'll all end up dragging out a "Chick" game like "Apples To Apples" and watching Abe's Babylon 5 Season 3 DVD's.

I've owned Apples to Apples for more than a year and have never played it. I need to meet more chicks. :-(

[captain-slinky.livejournal.com]

It's a good "Gateway" game for girls who aren't pop-smart enough for Trivial Persuit. Apples To Apples can lead to stuff like Cosmic Encounters, Illuminatti and even Magic: The Gathering! And as we all know, it's juts a small step from the CCG world in to the RPG world :)

Yeah and now we have Swayze battling cancer too, when will it all end.
