Perfect for anyone who's ever played a roleplaying game. :)

Elizabeth, curled up in my arms colouring and waking up from her nap, asked me, "Why're you laughing, Mommy?" Apparently this is only for idiots who know how to read. :)

I'm still a D&D virgin, despite being an ardent gamer, but that's pretty much good for most RPG's where you're dealing with roll-players, not role-players.

I sent the link to my fiancée who began playing D&D (in class) in grade 4. (Yeah, his teacher at the time left something to be desired...)He'll find that very amusing.

I don't know what kills me more: 'Pointy Hat' or 'Get more shiny!'

Because the entire social fabric of a medieval society with complex Hermetic magic systems relies on going into holes in the ground, killing people, taking their stuff, and either using it or selling it to go on shopping sprees.

A friend of mine got it. It's a high-quality book for first-time D&D-players, really! It's a lot like their other books, complete with suggestions on which character classes to choose first and what the top ten most useful wizard spells are. While my gaming group disagrees a little on the ordering, and would add a few spells and remove a few, they all agreed that the ten listed spells were highly useful ones.
