I believe it is tabletop gaming.

However, I'm assuming that if LARPing exists in Bangkok, these good people will also know about it. Or know someone who does. Still, one thing at a time, eh?

Yes, I seemed to recall you mentioning that you had been involved in Vampire the Masquerade once upon a time! Splendid!

My Geek Pal at work, Steve, suspects that I will love D&D, since I'm a big fan of storytelling. We'll see. Thus far my dice have all been six-sided.

(Also this weekend, I'm planning to have a crack at Bellydancing! It's all go!)

I found Vampire more entertaining than D&D, but that's because the VtM system is weighted more in favor of storytelling than D&D. For D&D to have good stories, you need a really good DM. Otherwise it defaults to kill the monster, find the treasure.

(Okay, I also found VtM more entertaining because of the whole yay vampires thing. Look, I own my clichés, okay?)

FYI Fay (oh, and HI FAY!) D&D'ing is limited to D&D, while RPG'ing is all roleplaying games, including Vampire.

I tell you this because if you want to make a good impression describing someone's Vampire game as D&D'ing may not go over well - some won't care but some fled to Vampire to escape the whole D&D shebang. Anyway, YDMMMV.

Me, I love a good old session of D&D. Mainly because, it's kind of brainless and fun to hang out with friends.

P.S. I just heard our second peal of thunder for the hour. Totally not expected weather.

Cheers, Pete! I guess I'm being confused about this because it's via the Bangkok Dungeons And Dragons Group.

You both looked quite lovely at the ball. and I am glad your coach didn't turn into a pumpkin.

here is my vacation blog post in case anyone is interested

My mother is freaking out about my friend bringing babies to Cairo. (The kids are 5, 17 months, and 1 month now, and they're moving during the summer.) It's kind of cute. I reminded her that Egyptian people have babies, too -- they won't be the first babies in Cairo.

ahh, mom. My first thought was the kids might not even remember living in Egypt.

Wow, that's a long flight with three kids. I'd be hitting my doctor up for some Children's Valium for that one.

! Bless your mum!

Egyptians ADORE babies. And kids in general. A. Dore. They will be spoiled rotten. And everywhere is kid-friendly. (Even to the point of pissing me off - I mean, come on, WTF with my gym being full of kids? WTF?)

I shared some of your thoughts on my sister's latest craziness with my Mom. She responds:

thanks to you and all your buddies............she may just not be able to blame herself yet. Hope she can see clearly some day............it's very weird...........

I said yes, weird is what it is.
