Well, last year was my last year at D&D camp. Until they offered me money to come back and help out again. So, I guess it wasn't my last year.
I CAN QUIT ANYTIME I SWEAR
A-hem. Anyway.
Well, its the first day, and so let me introduce my cast of characters.
HD:
FB: FB is Fighter Boy. Knows a lot about D&D 4.0
SG: Sorceror Girl.
TOG: The Other Girl. A Clarek (Its like a Cleric, but better. Because poor literacy is kewl)
RB: Ranger Boy
Mr. G: The guy who runs the camp
ODM: Assorted other DMs.
And so, the stories from Day 1. Only two of them here.
The Parable of the Other Girl
The first part of D&D Camp, every year is assigning groups to DMs.
While figuring out who would be in my group, we were looking over the people. One of them (Now known as Sorceror Girl) made a request to be put with "Hyena Dandy (the DM) and The Other Girl"
As a result, Sorceror Girl is now known as The Other Girl.
TROMBONE
When selecting groups, we must look at important notes about the players in our group. For example, one child is allergic to peanut butter. Another has ADHD. One person's "Important Notes" section was simply the word "Trombone"
We don't know why. But we hope he doesn't spontaneously start playing the trombone during games.
On DSes, pink and otherwise
Well, I recently got a DS. A PINK DS. This has drawn an unusually large amount of comment. Indeed, at least every DM and eight of the sixteen kids has approached me at lunch (When I get to take a break from watching kids for a while) and commented that I have a pink DS. Even one girl was walking in the hall while I was sitting near the door, stopped, came back, poked her head in and asked "Is that a pink DS?"
I nodded.
I got a thumbs up.
However, one of the kids in camp felt it important to note that he has a BLACK DS.
I noted that, while he may HAVE a black DS, he didn't think to bring it with him, and a pink DS you have is better than a black one you don't.
I win.
That is, surprisingly, the only worth mentioning things that happened today. There will likely be more customer-oriented (or, well, camper-oriented) stories in the future.
