She kept it after we broke up Women. Always keeping the jewlery. I'm sure someone will have done something far geekier than this. I first discovered D&D spring of 1979. A guy moved from New Jersey to here and Texas and told us all about this great new game. We started gaming right before school let out for the summer ( I was in 10th grade I believe?). My core group was myself, my brother, my best friend, and the guy that introduced us to the game, but there were every imaginable number of hangers on also. We played every single day that summer. Well, maybe not literally EVERY day. But a typical day would go like this: Get up, do whatever chores or whatever you had to do before you could do what you wanted, then we'd play D&D all day long. Sometimes into the night. Sometimes we'd stay over each others house and play ALL night. I still have desk top calendars going back 30 years ( I save everything) and there wasn't a week the summer of 1978 we didn't play at least five to seven days. We were the poster children of "My child is into this weird new game that is like a cult or something". Except I suspect our parents were quite happy to have us locked in a room all day instead of creating mischief somewhere. Well, that's the setup for this:the geekiest thing I ever did...For two weeks that summer, my family rented a beachfront condo on South Padre Island. I managed to finagle my best friend into coming along also. The ENTIRE two weeks we were at the beach, me, my best friend and my brother did NOT go out surfing, beachcombing, building sand castles, picking up chicks, whatever. No, being the healthy robust teenagers we were, we spent the entire two weeks inside the condo in the back room playing G2 Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl. This despite impassioned pleas by my parents to go out to the beach day after day. We finally relented after about the first week, but got so sunburned that day we had an excuse for staying in the rest of the time instead of going out again "But mom, I'm burnt to a crisp, I can't go out there again!" As I remember, the Frost Giant's rift was thoroughly looted and destroyed, and my other friend who had to stay behind in Dallas was incredibly pissed and jealous when we finally got back into town. We three thought it was a vacation well spent.Mike B.

Sometime over the next few years (let's say I was around 11), my friend Greg decided to tease me a little bit because I liked to. . . um. . . I liked to . . . watch. . .. . . the. . . ummm. . .the Smurfs. . . Actually, I would watch it everyday after school (and on Saturday mornings). So he made a little adventure where some of my characters found themselves "shrunk" down to miniature size and in the land of the Smurfs. It was actually quite fun. . . Big Mouth was an Ogre and, of course, Gargamel the evil Wizard we had to overcome. Greg also made the Smurfs into quite interesting NPC's. If you think about it, the Smurfs really do adapt well to D&D - Papa Smurf is a Magic-User as is Brainy. Hefty is a Fighter, Tracker is a Ranger, Poet is a Bard, Jokey is a Thief and Smurfette the perennial "damsel in distress".So, there you go. . . one more skeleton from my closet of "not so proud" D&D moments. (But, it was still fun!) I Can't decide which was more geeky . . .
