"I don't know if fat gamers automatically suck"????I certainly don't fit the stereotype--well north of three bills--and one of the reasons I got into D&D was that size and strength (of the players, not the PC's) DIDN'T matter! BTW . . . is there such a thing as a "very good copy of H1"? (One without a crushed box, that is!)

I mean, it's gotten to the point where I cringe when my wife goes with me on those very seldom ocassions to the local game/comic store....inevitably there are a couple of big guys, no problem there, but they always have stained, too small t-shirts on, bad personal hygiene, and they are ogling covers of the newest issue of Supergirl while commenting on what local fast food franchise has the tastiest grease. If I'm lucky, when my wife is there they don't amble over to the game section and start making inane gaming comments about their 19/5/4 lvl Druid/half dragon/sadist with Kung Fu grip and Great Cleave that killed an army of dire kobolds at the gaming table the last night....that always sends my wife out the door giggling. It just reinforces every neg thought she has about gamers being the outcast dregs of the universe. I want to pull aside Chubs and Orca and say "Look, dudes, it takes FIVE MINUTES to take a shower, wash your hair, throw on some deordorant cologone, brush your teeth, and pick out a shirt that's XXXXL from your closet. And for gods sake MIX IN A SALAD between the visits to Dickie's BBQ and Chicken Express! Or at least a diet Coke....." Ok, so I'm a little peeved, last night two GIGANTIC dudes were in the local gamestore eating greasy BBQ AT THE COUNTER while pawing through the rack of Goodman Games stuff nearby. When I went to checkout, there were stains on the counter, and the odor of unwashed human everywhere. Sheesh.Mike B.
