My group held a game this evening, but as usual it was at my house, not at the FLGS. We all noted that it was worldwide D&D day, but other than that, nothing out of the ordinary was done.
No one died either, so I couldn't even give out the "My character died on Worldwide D&D Day, and all I got was this lousy T-Shirt" T-shirt. |

Bane's boxers, I forgot about that! I intended to drop by the Wall today, but it totally slipped my mind. Instead I went over to a friend's house, out to see a movie, and then drank just a smidge more than I should have... |

I'm still recovering from a 66 hour work week, and my mind was on other things -- like going and seeing a movie and tossing back a couple beers afterward. |

I went to mine but there was only one D&D game going the rest were playing card games. I believe it was Magic but I couldn't be sure. I was pretty dissapointed by the turnout. Oh well I'm involved in enough online campaigns to sate my gaming appetite
I was supposed to be a DM today, but when I woke up this morning, I wanted to sleep more, and so I called the gamestore and asked them if they had more DMs to replace me, and the clerk told me that people were virtually killing each other to get in these games whether as a DM or player (because of the free stuff), so I said, "I'll sit this one out Glen," and went back to bed...  |

| I went by the FLGS. They had a shortage of DM's, but plenty of players. It is a small store, where basically every flat surface, or surface that can be made flat, had to be converted to a tabletop. It seemed to go over well, but I was just passing through so I couldn't stick around. It was a good recruitment campaign for new players at least. |

Which one are you referring to? :) The only ones I know that are good aren't near any Metro stops. |

| The only one I know of is Dream Wizards, in Rockville, by White Flint. I've only been there twice, but they have several tables out for playing. I'm sure they would have had something going on. I didn't check, though, because of the time involved if I went. There's a comic book store much closer, but they removed their tables for lack of use and put in more comic book racks. |

There were two sessions running in my local area, and as much as I would have wanted to attend... a booksigning in a neighbouring building by one of my favorite authors was simply too good an opportunity to miss...

Damn.... too bad I got in late and did not see the "what is America" discussion as it (and its offshoots) are quire interesting.
As for Worldwide D&D Game, I did not get a chance to go due to the distance that the closest store was located. I did have a wonderful weekend nonetheless :D. |

Interesting... I didn't know about that one.  The ones I was thinking of - one has a store in Chantilly and in Woodbridge (Games Parlor) and another near Ft. Belvoir (Eagle's Nest, I think). GP (both locations) has plenty of tables, while Eagle's is mostly an independent Warrhammer shop. Back when they existed, there was a WOTC shop in the Springfield Mall... now I regret not buying some of the 3.xE things I could have at their (closing) discounts. |

Hey! Only 60% (2882 votes) say that D&D is the best fantasy game!  That means 40% are delusional. |
