D&D

So...I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons in various forms for...oh wow...six years now? And yes. Yes, it is nerdy. It is silly. But it's way less nerdy than dressing up to go to Renaissance Faires, which I have done, and I have my own sword. And a bow. And some daggers. So on my scale of nerdy things, playing a tabletop game is not so bad.

And then I found this:

It's from the 80s. There is heavy punning. The Dungeon Master comes off as an incredibly creepy little man who peeks into locker rooms. There are completely useless characters. There are 27 episodes.

I bought the whole series as a Valentine's Day present for The Boyfriend.

I'm so glad something this wonderfully, beautifully bad exists in this world.

Wow. That really IS wonderfully, beautifully bad.

Also, Jazz or Asterisk?

That was Jazz.

She's not very good about signing off.
Although apparently she's brilliant at locating hilarious 80's cartoons!

Sorry guys. :D I am really bad about that.

The cavalier is such a whiny, useless character. It's great.

Jazz is a tiny young woman studying Spanish and Creative Writing, which means she has accepted that her fate in life is not, in fact, to live in a house with a security system and imported granite countertops. She believes, contrary to Firefox's spellchecker, that countertops should be one word. Jazz hates the cold and loves red lipstick. She enjoys blues dancing, treasure hunting at Goodwill, reading epic fantasy, and being a big giant feminist. Some of her aspirations include eating food larger than her head, and some of them do not.

Asterisk actually has a real girl's name and was not named after a seldom used symbol, even though that would be kind of cool. When she's not drowning under a sea of college coursework, she spends her time working at her University Library, hanging out with her amazing friends in the unofficial but fabulous fraternity ∆∑P, reading, and--among other things--corresponding with Jazz. Asterisk likes colored pencils, mountains, fancy cheese, talking about squid, action movies featuring hot women, and whistling badly to music. She loves noodles and high heel shoes.
