To this day, I cannot see why women were keen on D&D but not on wargaming.

Errrrrm.............

RPG: You’re a strong, independent, self-actualized Amazon Warrior princess who channels the power of the Earth-Mother and rides a Pegasus called ‘Destiny’. Did I mention you’re a princess?

Wargame: you’re Soviet Colonel-General Ivan Konev, commanding the 2nd Red Banner Army - that’s everything in the biscuit tin, there. Your brief is to mount an attack on the Rzhev salient, here, forcing Trevor’s German 9th Army to withdraw. Trevor deploys first.

Participant numbers seem to suggest one of these scenarios is less oestrogen-deterrent than the other.

I worked out at about the age of 17 that it was outside my intellectual abilities to understand women and that it was far more useful to enjoy them. I have found it most liberating.

I looked in the loft this morning and found an old MERP character sheet for a Dunlending called Rekkufmub of Parc Dratsab. I was such a sophisticated student...

My ex-wife had a D&D paladin character called Sir Vix . . . . .

Last night's game was a hoot.... Night of The Living Botch.

Not a good time for my incredibly puissant archer to forget how to roll more than 5 on a d20.

Still, the scars will, I'm told, heal.

Mi amigo was once stuck for a name for his Druid.... I helped out with: Burnie Whickerman.

Stumpy Halfpint was a favourite Dwarven name
