I'm not a D&D player, but my husband has been since c. 1980, and I've been his co-dependent by buying him special edition books, etc. He still plays with a group of other 40-somethings. Among these folks, there are: several Ph.D. and Masters recipients; all are college graduates; they all have jobs; they are responsible members of the community; they care for their children and older parents; they own their homes (without basements); they are all good, decent people; and none of them blog.
So, I take great umbrage when McCain and/or his surrogates make disparaging remarks about D&D gamers or tries to portray them as freaks living in their mothers' basements.
So let's do a roll call.
Here's what I want to know: If you play D&D or know someone who plays D&D, please provide the following:
Age: You can give a range
Education Level Completed: state your degree (if completed) and your major, if you wish
Marital Status:
Homeowner or Renter:
Job: Yes or no is fine
Position Held: you can be general (e.g. scientist) or specific (e.g. marine biologist)
Bonus round:
Basement Dweller:
Preferred Pajamas:
Your preferred character/alignment:
Get out your 20-sided dice and let's have fun with this!
