Inspired by the popular childhood toys thread, I wondered how many in the brotherhood were (are) into role-playing games. I noted that many members are in my age bracket, so I am sure the D&D sickness must have hit my generation pretty hard. In fact, my logo is the 1981 edition of D&D that I cherish and have to this day, waiting to teach my son.
Back in the 1980's, I hid from the pop-world in the pages of a Dungeons & Dragons book. I don't think I came out of that bunker until the very late 80's when I went to Rutgers. There games awaited me of a different sort.
Perhaps it is its medieval quality, with the help of the Lord of the Rings films no doubt, fantasy role playing games always had space for pipes. I once played with a dungeon master in a cavernous New Jersey basement, that smoked what I now think was an Oom Paul. Unfortunately back then I was not into pipes. Now I am into pipes but live in a town that plays its games on the streets rather than on a tabletop.
Anyone else?
