Top 10 Myths About Dungeons & Dragons

By Shelly Mazzanoble


1. You need to speak with a British accent while playing.

2. You have to play in a dark, dank basement in the home of someone's mother.

3. You need to drink full-sugar soda and eat chips that stain your fingers orange.

4. No one cool plays, or has ever played, D&D.

5. No one you know has played, or still plays, D&D.

6. It will take you the rest of your natural life to learn the rules.

7. If you start playing D&D, your friends will abandon you, and your subscription to Match.com will be mysteriously deactivated.

8. The game involved incense, finger pricks, solemn oaths, sacrifices, Ouija boards, and hazing rituals.

9. You will start dressing like a musical theater major, insisting on wearing leotards, capes or turtlenecks.

10. You will develop an insatiable urge to attend Renaissance festivals.

Top 10 Reasons D&D is Better Than Dating Men

By Shelly Mazzanoble


1. Getting dumped only costs a few hit points.

2. Hitting on someone usually involves a magic missile or mace.

3. Protection from evil spells - need I say more?

4. Your "wingman" knows 42 spells and is proficient with a longsword.

5. Being "experienced" is something to be proud of.

6. Traveling in packs with your girlfriends doesn't involve wearing pink lace and charging strange men a buck to suck Lifesavers off your shirt at a bachelorette party.

7. Meeting bugbears and dire wolves are better than meeting parents and ex-wives.

8. Failed relationships can be blamed on bad die rolls.

9. Character sheets give you the ability to check out a guy's stats before a first date.

10. If you get hurt, chance are you'll be healed by morning.

LOL - We loved doing this, back in the day.  Don't forget the dripping candles in lieu of lightbulbs.
