Hahahahahahahahahaha!

So far tonight I have come home, put my knee up for awhile, flooded the bathroom, gotten something to munch on, and frittered an hour that should have gone to game notes on Facebook. But I found this and laughed hysterically!



Of course, these dice would have been made from people, if you know your Star Trek, so they're really more appropriate to Call of Cthulhu than Dungeons & Dragons, I think. But if you've gamed for long enough, yes, there were dice with crayons. I've seen them, although by the time I got into things in the early 90s, they were printed.

I cannot justify spending $40 for a set of dice

but the glow-in-the-dark Cthulhu dice with Elder Signs are still nifty cool.


Okay, enough game-related stuff. I'm going to bed. Good night. :)

Five things that Dungeons & Dragons begat

According to an article from the BBC:

1. ONLINE ROLE-PLAY GAMING
2. THE GEEK RAMPANT
3. REVIVING FANTASY MANIA (Call of Cthulhu and HP Lovecraft get a mention :))
4. TEENAGE GAMING MORAL PANICS
5. MANY-SIDED DICE
