*Looks at his leather satchel sitting next to him, which is currently occupied by an RPG, a folder full of character and reference sheets, and a bag of 25 dodecahedrons necessary to play said RPG*

You take your "lucky dice" to Iraq and Afghanistan...and you have run a quick pick up game in an Iraqi Police Station with four other guys in between guard shifts who just happen to have their characters sheets....

You go on vacations but you always make your first stop the local game store....

JMRC Operations Group out of Hohenfels. I did my time down range with the 55th Combat Camera out of Fort Meade, Maryland. Now I document training here in the "BOX". Hoping to get back to the 55th within the year.

I'll see you there...3HBCT/1CD...heading back around December...Mosul or Baghdad....4th tour!!

Too bad I'm not a D&D Character...I'd have to be like 12th level by now...



When you wonder what level you are because trying to figure out your stats and skill % is too much work.

When you wonder why you are working for somebody who is obviously a substandard character with poor stats and low skills...

Well d10's can be platonic solids, d20's numbered 0-9 twice.

I'll note that in the most recent Harry Dresden book by Jim Butcher, Harry not only has his dice bag on him (they've mentioned he occasionally plays RPGs in the past, ever since he met the group of gamers-cum-werewolves), it ends up being a fairly important plot point...
