So, next year I move up to high school. And, I am also interested in playing DnD.

See, when I first was drawn to the Escapist, by Yahtzee of course, I kept seeing episodes pop up for this thing called "I hit it with my axe". Yup, that DnD show.... THAT... DnD show. So I got interested and wanted to play DnD.... then I forgot, and remembered a year later.

Anyway, as I play WarHammer 40k (Wooow Imperial Guard..... too bad I am stuck with Space Marines...) I decided to be a massive nerd.

Yes, I designed an entire rule book (Which I am still typing up.) for mashing warhammer and DnD together, got some friends together at school, and had a frickin' ball! (Notice... I found out about Dark Hersey after all the hard work. Grr...)

Now, I was wondering, how would I go about getting a group together, or joining a group of DnDers?

In my high school, I am in the ACE program, the high achievers, the smarties, whatever you call it. Hopefully, some other kids in it might be willing to try it out.

So, to sum it up.


How would I go about joining or making a DnD group?


and of course, because I am bored:


What was your funniest DnD moment?





My funniest moments with 40k DnD:


We were tasked by the Captain of a local guard force to help of with some bandits. We also we asked by a farmer to destroy the den of wolves which had been raiding and attacking his farm.

We follow the bandits, and then catch up to them. Guess where they were? In a forest. Guess what was next to them? The wolf den. Guess what I was holding in my ....mind's hand? A Flamer....

One roll later, and the entire forest was on fire, with trees crushing bandits and blocking up the wolf cave.

We went back, got a nice supply of food from the farmer, a ton of gold from the Captain, and then we got drunk. Yaaaaay!


We had hijacked two ships and were flying around space shooting shit when one of the players decided to try to overthrow me and take control of the ship.

I placed down my two sentry turrets and asked him what he wanted again.

He ran off my ship faster than the other guy did when he discovered the grenade in his bed.

Hehehehehehe.


I had landed on a seemingly ABANDONED fortress.... with SPOOKY sounds.... and DARK tunnels.... leading UNDERGROUND....

So what did we do?

Naturally, we all fought among ourselves, which ended in my setting up two sentrys at the gate to the fort and watching as our old psyker pal was slaughtered.

To explain, in my version of DnD, everyone has three Wounds... lives, hits, whatever. When those go bye bye, they are unconscious. If they roll a 6, they get back up with one wound. Roll a 1, they are dead and gone. Bye bye, new character. There are special rules involving medics and all that but lets just cut to the chase.

As the fight was about to begin, the psyker was possessed (like he always bloody was) and scaled over the walls.... right into the turrets.

He was knocked out, expelling the demon, and got back up. He tried to roll away. Failed. Knocked out again. Tried. Failed. Tried. Failed.

It happened so many times that all the other players stopped fighting and just sat behind the turrets, rolling to see if they could summon popcorn from the warp. So our psyker repeated this like... at least 7 or 8 times.... then rolled a one.

He raged... hard.



And of course, I can't forget our psyker.... the lovely, little guy who always ended up bloody possessed. When he was possessed, the DM (me) would tell him what to do, and he could either try to resist it or just agree (notice, I was pretty fucked up when it came to possessing people... once they were possessed.... hehe, fun times.) Also, I had made his very powerful, with frickin' brain sucky tenticals, a giant horse like alien leg, a human leg and a chainsword arm. So of course, whenever he saw something with a pulse, he would try to leap on it and do a Heavy on Sandvich to it's brains.

It happened so much that in the end I said, "The demon tries to jump on this man and eat him, what do you do?"

"Fucking let him, that guy might be carrying high level loot!"
