Why Do NRO Dorks Have to Steal My Schtick?John J. Miller writes a mash note to E. Gary Gygax, inventor of Dungeons & Dragons. Well, I guess now I know which of the NRO dorks got my D&D Guide to the Democratic Presidential Candidates linked when I started this dumb-ass dorkblog. posted by Ace at 04:23 AM
CommentsAce - this is one of funniest things ever. Posted by: Mike Krempasky on October 16, 2004 08:11 AM
Miami Vice...80's songs....D&D...time for you to start growing out the ol' mullet there, Ace. Posted by: sonofnixon on October 16, 2004 10:36 AM
Admit it, Ace, you own a pair of pink and teal legwarmers. Posted by: Sobek on October 16, 2004 11:18 AM
Wasn't there an article praising Iron Maiden in NRO last month? Posted by: Moonbat_One on October 16, 2004 11:27 AM
Thanks, Mike. SoN: I'd grow a mullet if I could get away with it. Sobek: D&D/Miami Vice? How do you get leg-warmers from that? D&D must be the least gay/least feminine thing ever. Well, it's "gay" in the dork sense, but it's not gay in the gay sense. I don't think more than three gay guys have ever played D&D -- it's an SWD (straight white dork) hobby.
Heck, probably. But I don't know. We'll see if they run a Whitesnake article. Then I'll be pissed off. Posted by: ace on October 16, 2004 12:19 PM

I guess I should change that url. I don't want one of my three female readers getting her feelings hurt. Posted by: ace on October 16, 2004 01:32 PM
Why does it feel like someone used a Wish, something like "I wish for a suave, coiffed, sports-loving, independently wealthy, well-educated, military hero, with a plan for every situation as nominee for President." Just saying as a GM that most everything about this guy seems... warped. Posted by: Al on October 16, 2004 01:49 PM
"I don't think more than three gay guys have ever played D&D -- it's an SWD (straight white dork) hobby." Oh, Ace. You poor, deluded man . . . Posted by: Rob on October 16, 2004 03:31 PM
Oh, Ace. You poor, deluded man . . . Really? I always thought gay people were far too cool to play D&D. Hell, everybody else is. Even a band nerd like me... Posted by: Smack on October 16, 2004 04:26 PM
Believe it or not, there are uncool gay people. Anyway, I knew plenty of gays who played at D&D and other tabletop RPGs, but they preferred LRPGs. This gave them the opportunity to dress up in Lord Vampire getup in public. Posted by: Andrea Harris on October 16, 2004 04:37 PM
The first gay guy I ever knew was a band nerd. I'm a semi-reformed D&D geek. Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Planescape, etc. Andrea's right though, LRPGs are more common among us pink folk. Vampire: The Masquerade was a dating disaster. I couldn't figure out if they were gay or just scary. Turns out, most of them were both. Posted by: Rob on October 16, 2004 04:47 PM
Heh, guess you learn something new every day. But mainly, I was just looking for any opportunity to tweak Ace's nose in the Band-vs-D&D cold war. Posted by: Smack on October 16, 2004 05:09 PM
Well, band geek wins that contest hands down. There are, you know, females involved. Because this one time, at band camp . . . Posted by: Rob on October 16, 2004 05:11 PM
Ravenloft???? Dragonlance I can half-respect, but I suspect the "first gay guy" you knew was somehow involved in your Ravenloft experimentation (joke!). But seriously, I'll openly admit to D&D. No force on this earth will get me to talk about my band experience. Not that I ever had any, of course... Posted by: George on October 16, 2004 10:56 PM
Any true D&D game nerd from the Great Lakes states in the 1970s *knows* that E. Gary Gygax did not "invent" D&D. Dave Arneson invented the game. Gygax wrote a set of fantasy rules for Chainmail, a set of medieval miniature rules, but Arneson converted that into the role-playing concept. Gygax was the publisher of TSR, eased Arneson out after the game proved a monster hit, and then rewrote history so that St. Gary of Gygax gave virgin birth to D&D.

Shades of Stan Lee, eh? I was into Runequest, back in the day. And Morrow Project. Ah, lovely Morrow Project: every campaign the same. Come out of coldsleep after the apocalypse, round up some gear...and kill farmers with a heavy machine gun mounted on a Commando V-150 armored car. "We drive our V-150 into the town." "Okay. (die roll) A crossbow bolt plinks off the side of the V-150." "We drive around the block at slow speed, hosing down the buildings with the M2 (heavy machine gun)." "Oooh-kay. (die roll) Town's on fire now." Posted by: Ken Hall on October 18, 2004 08:41 AM

Some people liked Candace Owens because she was a black woman who told hard truths about BLM and black criminality. But this was always a grift. She started out as a race hustler for a grift, then hustled race the other way to grift conservatives, and now she's back to being a race-hustler for the left again. Specifically, she is now claiming that people pointing out that she is legitimately low-IQ and can't pronounce half the words her AI-generated teleprompter script points out to her is racist and just Ben Shapiro's way of saying the n-word without quite saying it. You see, you can only say that black people are smart, and if you see a dumb one that doesn't know how to pronounce simple words while she poses as an investigatory journalist, you have to pretend she's actually smart or you're a racist. Weird, that doesn't sound very conservative, let alone "#Based," to me. To prove how much she hates racism, she then says that Ben Shapiro's Jew ancestors were masters of the slave trade.

Ami Kozak: Every single Tucker Carlson episode consists of him claiming he didn't say the things he said in the last episode
Also: this is the manipulation Tucker does that i hate the most. It's so cowardly. All he does is smear people (and Jews, generally), and then claim "I have nothing against [the person or group I just smeared.]" He'll even claim "I love [x], actually." Just again and again and again. It's all a lie, of course. A year ago he smeared Jews but added how beautiful he thought Israel was, and then two weeks ago, he said Israel is ugly as dog-shit and nothing beautiful has been built there "since 1948." Just got this email from Dracula: "I love Van Helsing, actually, he's one of my personal heroes, if I'm being honest. I will claw the heart out of his belly and bathe in his blood before the children of Babylon, but I have nothing but respect for Van Helsing, actually. Love is the answer. Except for the followers of the Christ whom I am commanded to turn into my dark army of Satan. And I totally don't worship Satan, I just think we should listen to both sides. Hugs and kisses, may Van Helsing burn in the blood-red fires of hell throughout eternity, even though I consider him a close and dear friend, Vlad called Dracul."
