    I shit you not, this has gotten me out of trouble dozens of times. Any time I get pulled over I pull out the “golly jeez” and “oh dang” and proceed to talk the cop’s ear off about the fine minutia of my incredibly boring day.

    Once got pulled over in a tiny town at 3am in a boaty cadillac with a dope sticker on the back windshield. Watched the cop go from “drug bust of the century” to “please don’t let anyone see me here” in about 4min. Literally watched the man’s will to live leave his body when I started taking about d&d.

      He’s probably old school and plays or 3rd edition rules. He just couldn’t stand hearing you blaspheme his game.

          Nah, I played both 2.0 and 2.5. Gygax was just a math and numbers geek who tried to gatekeep with over complication.

          4.0 is NOT D&D. 1.0 barely qualifies as D&D.

          2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 5.0 all have their upsides and downsides.
