The Games That I Play Only Have Twenty-Sided Dice

It's got more Trek and comic book references than gamer references, but I think readers of the RPGBN will get a kick out of this song:

Yay! My Rock Band 2 obsession provides material for my starving blog!

I would have posted this two months ago, but I wanted it to be surprise for a certain Trek fanatic friend of mine when we finally got up to his place with our Rock Band gear. Though the delay means I can submit it to this month's blog carnival.

You Know You're a Gamer...

...when this picture makes you think "The elementary school is having a Magic: the Gathering tournament on December 1st at 6? Huh. That's kinda cool."

...and the wife has to point out that the Parent Teacher Organization is having a MeeTinG.

Obligatory plug: Less than one day left to add an idea to the Thanksgiving Bonus What the Heck and less than two days to add one to the current Weekly What the Heck.

Non-gamers Just Don't Understand

After having the party rogue apparently stab my big bad wyrmpriest right in the base of the skull, I felt I needed to talk my feelings over with someone. One of my players kindly recommended Eliza.

Eliza: Hi. I'm Eliza. Tell me your problems!
You : My players' characters keep stabbing my NPCs IN THE BASE OF THE SKULL
Eliza: Perhaps you would like to talk about a problem?
You : Yeah, my players' characters keep stabbing my NPCs IN THE BASE OF THE SKULL
Eliza: What does this mean for you, saying " Yeah, your players' characters keep stabbing your NPCs IN THE BASE OF THE SKULL "?
You : It means they're a bunch of homicidal misfits
Eliza: I understand!
You : OK, so what should I do?
Eliza: Do you in your dreams, too?
You : My dreams aren't really the problem.
Eliza: Come on! I'll tell nobody about your problems!
You : Never mind.
Eliza: I'm not sure wether I understand you!
You : Yeah, well, you can't spell "whether" right, either.

So, y'know, that didn't go so well. Non-gamers just don't understand.
