…and I came across a boxed copy of the D&D 3 Starter Set, which I bought a couple years ago.
While it sat on my desk, my son David walked into the room.
“Dungeons…Dragons Basic Game”, he read.
“Dungeons AND Dragons. That symbol means ‘and’,” I said.
“Can I play Dungeons & Dragons?” he asked.
Well. Under normal circumstances, the answer would have been a quick yes. The Basic Game was fun, but Megan and I have moved on to Fourth Edition, and the rules in the Basic Game go up to – get this – level 2.
But at this point it was almost his bedtime.
“I’m sorry, boy. You can play it in the morning.”
“Okay, Daddy.”
At six AM I awoke to find my son David standing over me.
“Good morning, Daddy,” he said, to his credit.
“Good morning!” I replied.
“Can I play Dungeons & Dragons?”
=)
My parents told me a while ago that they were worried about my RPG hobby, but didn’t stop me from playing nevertheless.
Oh well. I’d probably be worried if my kid started playing MTG without me understanding what the heck it is..
