Some asshat used to bring a gun to our gaming sessions.
 Well, my friend still plays D&D and I joined in a couple of times because I wanted to do something with my friends and it was a good time to shoot the shit and laugh and what not. Any way, some how my one friend's boss started joining in too. There was one session where the boss brought a gun in holster on his belt and laid it out on the table when he first got there and was setting up. My attitude was "Holy shit! Why? What's the point?" He said some shit about defending his family. We played in the back room of a gaming store, it was usually on Saturdays with a bunch of kids running around. The guy is a real asshole.

Here is the real kicker. Not making this up. They both work for the largest "managed healthcare services provider", they both think they are taxed too high and they are both "libertarians". My friend is an idiot for ever letting this asshole into his private life. My friend is alright, he's just greedy and has low self-esteem issues because he grew up with a messed up family life.

I guess the boss thought since we were a bunch of geeks this would be a good place to prove his manhood and strut it about. I get the feeling he also kind of "muscled" his way into the gaming sessions to begin with.

There is SOOOOOOOO much wrong here...

2. Wow, not even the wargamers and Civil War reenactors I know
 would set a gun down in the middle of the D&D table.

Not a whole lot of D&D at the reenactment of Gettysburg this year. I wonder why?

3. I would have tortured him as a GM...
 I would constantly press his buttons in game with subtle situations that forced him to face his own demons.

Maybe a Hobbit village that found the party's constant armed status offensive, or maybe set him up to confiscate weapons from his people if he had level enough to have followers. Oh, I would have had fun with him.


Even in a fantasy world they are obnoxious little ****s.

Greedy again?

Amazing that those who want to force others to give them things are somehow not the greedy ones, huh?

Seriously?  Dungeons and Dragons?  Our only solace is that they will never, ever procreate.

The "Game Master" is the same as the "Dungeon Master" in old style on paper role playing games.

The Dungeon Master being the one who describes the environment , administrator of what goes on and the enforcer of the rules for that universe.

For example he could set the following scene :

Quote
You are standing in an open field surrounded by smelly hippies. You have a Ma-Deuce and several boxes of ammunition. What do you do ?

A) Open Fire
B) Open Fire
C) Use Trenching tool as club.


FWIW - I put childhood things like this away when I was 17.

Oh my.. I can picture it now..

"Your party encounters a bisexual transgendered vampire robot sobbing softly behind a rock - 'Alas ! Emperor Bush sent my soulmate to die in an illegal and immoral war against the Orcs of the underworld ! I would die by my own hand If I weren't immortal..and a robot..and a vampire.. and my programming would let me bask in the sun which would both burn my vampire soul while recharging my robotic batteries ! Which it won't, forcing me to recharge by candlelight and bonfire.  Alas ! ' "

Sounds as if you've been in this exact situation (as the DM) . . .

I think if you're going to quote one of DUmmy Mythsaje's bestsellers, you should give him credit.

Personally, I don't have a problem with Role Playing - I haven't had the time to do it in years, but DUmmies have a way of turning some recreational activities into occupations.

I'm certain there are primitives who carry their dice around with them to assist in decision-making. And Im certain there are primitives who would rater live in the worlds of EverQuest, World of Warcraft and SecondLife than their own.

The one trait all DUmmies share is that they have no middle ground. It's always one extreme or the other, no in between or compromise.
