D&D 5E Bedtime Stories

[Guyanthalas]

Not sure if this is the right forum for this, but it was too good to keep to myself. My buddy (@Krelraz) sent me a text tonight about his 4 year old daughter, Aurian:

Aurian wanted her bedtime story to be from the book with the "lotsa eyes" (monster manual). So I read her the Displacer Beast entry. She got scared so I had to tell her about Blink Dogs.

Needless to say, this girl is probably socially doomed. I thought it was epic level cute though.

"And the little girl who refused to clean her bedroom woke up to six displacer beasts standing around her bed..."

Socially doomed? Socially awesome, more like.

My youngest woke me up early on a Saturday (<7am) to play. I told her that she can wake me if there was a problem but let me sleep otherwise. Her response was "how about a zombie apocalypse?" I agreed that a zombie apocalypse fell under the category "problem" and she could wake me.

Another story, this related by a friend this past weekend about her daughter when they came over for a playdate. BTW, the girl showed up to the playdate in full Darth Vader outfit, with mask and lightsaber, and pink fuzzy shoes. Her mom repeated a conversation they had had the previous day:

"Mommy, I'm worried that people might thing I'm a geek."
"But dear, you ARE a geek."

(And to break the mold further, the girl is very outgoing, has lots of friends, and is a trendsetter among her class.)

Sorry to all about the "social doomed" comment. It was meant in a very light hearted tone. I've often been referred to as the "D&D Paladin" among my friends for my constantly bringing up how much I love the game, and I joke constantly about its negative social rep.

Thanks for your comments and stories though! When I get back from vacation I'm going to point my friend to this thread, and hope he gets as many laughs as I did (don't think he's an ENworld user). Much love from this geek to all the rest!
