It's sort of D&D meets the Mormon diaspora... so it tends to be, well, a proselytizing sort of game... built around sin. You kinda have to be able to poke a lot of fun at faith ;) - which is easy for us cynical bastards...GreatGoblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506329794281995480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32035951.post-59937938672392619662008-03-08T07:00:00.000-08:002008-03-08T07:00:00.000-08:00Davy would totally play with you.

And some others that I can't remember. But he still buys and reads entire books about RPGs and I think he'd also secretly like to play again.robynczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491819229968081861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32035951.post-7184943729707997742008-03-07T19:47:00.000-08:002008-03-07T19:47:00.000-08:00my ex-wife used to play Reve de Dragon with us... ...my ex-wife used to play Reve de Dragon with us... i think at first she just wanted to do things that i liked doing - and it gave her a chance to hang out with my friends. People didnt seem to mind - as she really actually made an effort, and as she'd spent so much time as a theater geek the idea of playing a character was remarkably easy for her (i'll pass on the wider contextual comment there).<BR/><BR/>I wish I were still playing Dogs of the Vineyard - that's the one i'd be playing now given the chance - but everyone has kids and is busy with lives and such. I should probably try to force a game or three and see what happens...GreatGoblinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05506329794281995480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32035951.post-20125840809362950132008-03-07T11:11:00.000-08:002008-03-07T11:11:00.000-08:00Did you ever watch Freaks and Geeks?

There's a brilliant scene in the last episode where one of the "freaks" ends up reluctantly playing D&D with a group of geeks and totally gets into. It's some superb television!robynczhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07491819229968081861noreply@blogger.com
