    I shit you not, this has gotten me out of trouble dozens of times. Any time I get pulled over I pull out the “golly jeez” and “oh dang” and proceed to talk the cop’s ear off about the fine minutia of my incredibly boring day.

    Once got pulled over in a tiny town at 3am in a boaty cadillac with a dope sticker on the back windshield. Watched the cop go from “drug bust of the century” to “please don’t let anyone see me here” in about 4min. Literally watched the man’s will to live leave his body when I started taking about d&d.

      He’s probably old school and plays or 3rd edition rules. He just couldn’t stand hearing you blaspheme his game.

          Nah, I played both 2.0 and 2.5. Gygax was just a math and numbers geek who tried to gatekeep with over complication.

          4.0 is NOT D&D. 1.0 barely qualifies as D&D.

          2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 5.0 all have their upsides and downsides.

          Yeah idk what it is about them, but old people love to ramble on about anything and everything. I kind of like it honestly, I can just listen to their infodumping and occasionally say short sentences and phrases and they keep the entire conversation going for me.

    This is basically just a set of scenes that I would fully believe took place in Archer if I hadn’t seen this post.

    [off topic]

    I can’t remember the author or title of the story.

    Napoleon wants to give his enemies false information, so he picks a courier who looks bold and dashing, but has a reputation for being a complete fuck up.

    The idiot manages to fumble his way past a dozen patrols and deliver the orders.

    Exactly what they didn’t want.

    Chunk: And this I’ve time, I mixed up a batch of fake barf, snuck up to the balcony at the theater, and made a noise like “huuuuh, huuuuh” and dumped it over the side.

    Fratelli: I think I’m beginning to like this kid, ma.
