Kilted Gaming

[wildrover]

I don't know what the P-R-S are for, but it has the numbers on it, as well.

Just like a transmission...

Park
Reverse
Slay

...I don't know what the numbers are for.

Hrm, I'll be at a ren faire next weekend, I might see if they have any 12-step assistants standing by.

Swish yer kilt and remember that everybody gets one free one, and that cute girls get a bunch of free ones .

Wildrover... painting minis can be an addition all its own, heh. Trust me!

I have no doubt. Almost ducked in to a game shop yesterday evening, then realized what would happen and stayed in the pub . I could totally get in to that. Now, if I had a good "book on tape" to listen to while I was painting, and a glass of whiskey, and run the audio through the mixer with some good piobaireachd...I think we're on to something here.

Back in the day I played AD&D, had all the books, dice, hand painted miniatures, etc... 16th level wizard with an 18x99 intelligence and a 12th level Palladin with an 18x98 strength, 20th level thief with more magic than one character could reasonably carry. Did the gaming, and gaming conventions, with a lot of my buddies for several years. Even did the dress-up costuming for some of the gatherings (had a dead ringer outfit for my wizard miniature and character). Played a few conventions in Lake Geneva in the early days with DMs the likes of Roger Moore and Gary Gygax themselves, and stayed in the home of the guy who ran the old D&D gaming store on the corner of the main drag in Lake Geneva (it is an ice cream shop now). Those were the days. Showing up kilted would have been worth extra points back then as I imagine it would now.

When I saw this title at first I was thinking about gambling type gaming, you know, Las Vegas, and then pictured myself sitting at a black jack table in Caesars Palace in my best kilt and watching the looks as folks wandered by. I guess most impressive would be the size of the pile of chips in front of me-------yeah, right.

I always wanted to do the hand-painted miniatures. Maybe I should drop in to a gaming store...it'd be pretty cool to have a hand-painted chess set of those things.

There's a scene in the film "Ronin"...ok, one of many scenes I really liked, where De Niro's character is taken to an old friend's chateau to fix a wound...the scene opens to show his friend (played by Michael Lonsdale) painting a miniature of a samurai warrior. The full scene is played out a few minutes later...

It begins @4:45...

I agree with Chris, wearing a kilt oughtta be good for a bonus .

Yeah, we're different. But it's cool.

Indeed! While I MMORG, I have heard of DnD. However, everything I know comes from listening to a DM at work talk about the game and reading OOTS and Erfworld. Which reminds me, I better go get caught up.

We're playing Hero System as well. It wasn't until we were leaving after the game that the kilt was even acknowledged. One of the players said "It isn't often you see a guy in a kilt." I replied that I like the way it looks and it's really comfortable. Several of the guys thought that the comfort aspect made a lot of sense. All in all, it went well.

I was wearing my Matt Newsome box pleat kilt in Elliot Ancient with a redish-orange t-shirt (matched the red stripe in the kilt) and oatmeal hose (no flashes. I think I'll most likely end up wearing my other kilt for the next gaming session.

I'm not a D&D man myself, but I'm with a group that plays Hero System (because apparently they don't think D&D is complicated enough). Since the game day is Saturday, and Saturday is kilt day, I'm almost always in my kilt (frankly most days I don't have to work in my scene shop or mow the lawn are kilt days). My group doesn't care... and in fact one of them ordered an Alt.Kilt (but i haven't seen him in it yet, but I've seen the kilt, and it is awesome!)
Wear your kilt. Tell them being manly enough to have a kilt gives +2 to all attacks! (And if your GM goes for it, can I join you game... my GM just gives me a dirty look when I suggest it)

Just don't confuse your glass of whisky with the water you use to clean your brush. It's easier than you think.
