    Not I. My girlfriend plays DnD with me. Although, she doesn't think pretending to be a wizard with a "Sexuality Wand" +3 is too exciting in bed...

    Considering that the average male's wand is +5 to +6, you should be able to see why she's not getting excited.

    I bet she really gets hot when you put on your robe and wizard hat

    DURING a DnD game?

    That must have been awkward. No, his dwarf fighter had a really high stamina and strength score, so once he rolled well enough to seduce the elven wizard, the rolls he needed to screw her were pretty low.

    I can also say it is not the same game. It is completly focused on minis This is getting ridiculous. I don't mind a bit of commercialism in the right place and it made sense in the Italian Job but in Dungeons and Dragons???

    Yes. Those boys will continue to be virgins. Continuing in the tradition of their fathers, and their father's fathers.

    It's a good move, because the existence of Chaotic Good and Lawful Evil were just encouraging the Libertarian/Objectivist kiddies:

    "Oh yeah, I'm good, because I'm akways lookin' out for numero uno! And I don't murder or steal! Well, not often anyway! But those guys who keep enforcing laws, supposedly for the good of society? Those are the ones who are really evil!"

    You, sir, might not remember the 1st edition rulesets and DM tables. There's always room for another table to roll against!

    > Do they carry round pockets full of bunnies so they can kill them if they ever need to teleport?

    If a player ever asked me that question, I would immediately respond "Yes. Yes, you do. Start rounding up bunnies. And it has to be *combat* with the bunnies, not just bunny murder, so roleplay it out."
