D&D quotes from my favorite games

As many of my readers know, I'm a Dungeons and Dragons player.  Have been for the last 15 years.  I game to escape reality. I game to feel like I'm in another world able to do fantastical things.  I game to gain inspiration. Yet, the REAL reason why I game, is the random things that come out of my friends, and my mouth.

Such as:

"Ah, the very uncommon guard rat, comes now in hordes."

"Everyone get out your D20s, its almost Initiative time."

"Where there's a will save, there's a way."

"I pull out my dagger. I never leave home without it."

"You're about to die, roll for death magic."

"If you're not back by morning, you're probably rat food."

"If you wish to join with the hacking and slashing, come on in."

"Laying on of hands? You just like touching people, I'm starting to feel left out. Damn high AC."

"How much damage do you do to the door with one kick? Roll your damage."

"I roll whatever skill check I need to roll to get this done."

Thanks my friends for another night of laughs.  Just a reminder, don't drink the water from the well.

Thanks for reading, if you remember any quotes from a game or just a random conversation. Please post, I'd love to hear from you.

    I wish that I could videotape our Saturday D&D games, then edit and post them online. There's some wicked funny lines from week to week.

    Recently, our halfling rogue got fried by a magic trap when he tried to break into a shop to steal some Alchemist's Fire (to power our airship).

    As one of our players put it, "Dude. He almost died just for stopping to get gas."

Retreating from the Writer's Retreat

Image
As I have learned, When Words Count Writer's Retreat has a sweepstakes at the end of every year to generate free visits for writers from the beginning of January all the way to the end of May. I was one of those people who won. Coming to the retreat, I was blessed with stunning views of mountain ranges and winding back roads, a covered bridge and farms. All of this pleasant to look at. Arriving was just as beautiful. From the mountains in the distance to the little pond just beyond the house it gave a promise of peace and possible productivity in writing. My room is the top left corner. Hi room, I'm home for the next few days. I admit, when I had first won, I thought it was a scam, and in doing research I have not been the only one to think so. It's not a normal thing to hear about some random retreat in Vermont and also to win a 3 night stay at a country type house in the shadow of the Green Mountains in said retreat. It is real, however, I can attest to it....
