sorcyressWow. 12 entries for Gygax. Now I'm trying to remember how many entries I had on my flist for Terry Pratchett getting Alzheimers.
So, the Officially Awesome![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dan4th tossed me an IM tonight being all "wanna come over and play Dungeon!, in memorium of Gary Gygax?" Me being the sensible type, I go "I've never played before, but sure. Can I drag Magus along?"
Bla bla, show up and Dan4th's house, introduce the two of them, and play a round of Dungeon!. Which, I gotta say, the game makes *profoundly* more sense when you're actually paying attention to the rules and playing it rather than spreading the cards out on the floor and being all "oo, shiny jewels!" (which is what me and Aly used to do on occasion.)
It was a cute game. I won, because I'm cool like that. :D
Wound up spending the better part of the next two hours talking games, books, kittens, and general geek with Magus and Dan4th, which, I gotta say is one of the better ways to spend an evening. Also, Dan owns both a pair of kittens and a laser pointer. I taught him the "get the kitties to follow the laser dot to the ceiling, and then stare desperately at it as they figure out how the hell it got there." game, which is one of my favourites. He taught me that I'm not the only person who says horrible things to cats and babies because they don't understand me. We fight crime?
(((Unrelatedly, what the fuck, I don't have a usericon sutible for gaming? What the hell is *wrong* with me? I've got books ('I like Ham'), movies (WoSaT), Music (TMBG or Clone Me), TV (The Doctor), and Webcomics (Bun-Bun or Oasis) covered, but I've got nothing for games. Hey Sor --Fail!
Also unrelatedly, I really need to rehaul my userpics some time.)))
Soyeah. Had a good evening. I really need to get out to Dan4th's for gaming more often, considering he does it twice a week, and I don't actually *do* anything those days. (Though, I'm sure if I ever get my act together, Persis and David would be happy to kidnap me for contra-dancing on Thursday nights).
Regardless, I'll be in Maryland for the next two weekends, and presumably at Anime Boston for the one after that. So it's a bit of a moot point.

There's a lot of babbling about gaming here, that I'm just going to turn into a separate entry.

MOOP!
