Re: Scenario (Dungeons & Dragons)
Walking through the door, a big guy with a green shoulder bag that seems fit to burst and two shopping bags comes to the table. He's wearing a t-shirt with a stick figure halfling on it, holding a dagger in each hand and proclaiming himself to the a "Sexy, Bare-Footed, God of War!!!". He seems to be holding the heavy bags without much apparent effort, but seems a bit winded by the walk up the long driveway.
Hi everybody! (pause for them to say "Hi, Dr. Nick"). Sorry, obligatory Simpsons reference. Had to be done.
I'm Greg. I work at Boston Comics over on Allston St, and overheard Chris talking about a D&D game. Well, my geek sense started tingling and we got to talking, and he said that there was an opening in his game tonight. I hope you don't mind. I've been playing D&D for years now and have played lots of kinds of characters, so whatever you're party needs, just let me know.
My favorite class is cleric, so if your party doesn't need anything inparticular, I'll be happy to be the party healer.
Oh, and I brought Mountain Dew, Orange Soda, Doritos, Cheetos, pretzels, and Chips Ahoy for snacks.
(looks a little embarrassed)
Um, I may have gone a bit overboard with the snacks, but Chris joked that you guys had veto power over whether or not you had room for another player, so I thought some bribes were in order. (grins)
How are you guys tonight?
He tried to play it cool, but inside Greg was almost vibrating with excitement. He hadn't gotten to game in almost a year, ever since his friends Jeff and Pete had had the disagreement over a rule in Travelers:the Space Opera game and didn't speak for a month. He was always tempted to try to get together to game again with them, but had to admit that gaming with people who took it THAT seriously was probably a bad idea. Granted, he was probably not much better, sitting here like a heroin junkie at a methadone clinic. He just loved gaming so much! He was really looking forward to tonight. The people here seemed pretty cool so far, as was Chris. He had high hopes so far.
Especially the guy drawing the guy with the big hat. Nice job.
