FormCritic wrote:What are you doing here then, sauromatian? I'll have to call all the engineers, officers, executives and professionals I played D&D with and let them know I won't be at this year's party because they are losers. Don't blame everyone else just cause you couldn't get a girlfriend.
sauromatian wrote:Exactly who is baiting who, & why? That sounds like a threat to gang up on someone for no reason at all.
bclarkie wrote:No threat at all. I will say that the crap you keep posting, insuinating that D&D is "only" for kids and that gamers are all losers who also can't get laid is getting mighty tiresome, mighty quickly. Thats also not a threat, but if you continue at this pace, people around here are either going to start treating you like a troll or they will flat out ignore you. Or both....

sauromatian wrote:The problem with the D&D movie is that it's too accurate. It's like the experience of sitting through an actual grueling six-hour gaming session. Although the film itself is much shorter than that, the dramatic flair of the actors is such that you really feel like you've spent all day waiting for it to end. In fact it might even inspire a bit of nostalgia for that time in your past, perhaps ripe with young adulthood, when you decided to abandon gaming for the first time. Was it that special girl, or a favorite rock 'n roll combo, or just the realization that you were hanging out with a bunch of losers?
sauromatian wrote:I once played it often enough to know every single 1st edition rule in existence, but don't know if I can return to proper 6-hour sessions. My recent return to interest in these games is because of my son. He's played D&D for a few years but is just getting into the Players Handbook-level of gaming [11 years old]. Besides helping him out with that, I've been returning to the old books I remember from the 70s.

sauromatian wrote:No it has not been, & I think I'm being held to a double standard. There are many satirical depictions of gaming on this forum which you could have chosen to police. Stuff like Knights of the Dinner Table is some of the very best there is -does it offend you?
