So the guys over at Penny Arcade and PvP have hooked up with Wizards of the Coast … (was that enough obscure references for you?) … and they’ve been playing a D&D 4th Edition campagain … so in English …  a bunch of webcomic artists hooked up and played some Dungeons and Dragons … and recorded it … and released the recordings as a podcast … oh, and Wil Wheaton was there too …

So for those of you who may not know what exactly D&D is … it’s from back in the late 70′s … and it’s a pen and paper game, where it’s basically an interactive story using nothing more than your IMAGINATION as a canvas … freaky eh?  Back in high school me and the boys used to be big into playing all kinds of Role Playing Games … not neccessarily D&D but the same idea …

Soooo … listening to these guys has given me the urge to pull out my dice and play a campaing or two again … the problem is that to play these things is a HUGE time sink … unless you can find someone to run a game for you, who will then shoulder the majority of organizing things … you can’t just kinda pick up and play D&D like you would an XBox … you need TIME … and I don’t … HAVE that …

Anyone wanna DM?  Please?
