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

Tousi TV: France closes embassy in Tehran, US Department of State advises all US citizens to get out of Iran
He's been saying that Tuesday will be a decisive day. Other reports say that Trump is in the last stages of planning an action against the mullahs. (And other reports say that Tucker Carlson Simp JD Vance is attempting to get Trump to agree to "negotiations" with Iran -- for fucking what? What do we get out of saving the fucking mullahs and letting them kill and torture their own people? Apart from Tucker Carlson getting to pretend he's a Big Man Influencer and that he's worth all the Qatari money he's receiving.)
