Jono, looks like you and me have something in common.
My other midget roommate still leaves cheese out for the mouse. How the heck did he just kick my butt at Warcraft? I know nobody's been teaching him on the sly, he's not that good an actor yet.
Man. "Here, Miles, this'll be fun, you can be the green guys, poke them and they make funny noises, we'll start off in multiplayer so you can get the hang of building stuff without your guys getting steamrolled." I thought all that evil snickering from the other side of the room was him poking the guys, I mean, that's what I did for three hours after I bought the game . . .
It turns out the evil snickering was my complete and utter humiliation at the hands of a seven-year-old Attila the Frog. I can't tell whether I'm supposed to be mortified or proud.
OK, that's it, I'm teaching him D&D now. That way I can be the Dungeon Master and he isn't allowed to pull stuff like that on me. Sneaky little . . .

keep the munchins away from Mario. I'd like to keep my dignity in something, please ;)

Nope. I wanna see if Miles is a secret video game genius or just weirdly prodigical--prodigious? Prodigyesque?--at Warcraft. Besides, if I don't get any dignity nobody does. ;)

Yeah, but I think I probably should've started him off with the basics anyway, don't you?

he obviously has the talent to not need "basics".

But does it count if you've never _had_ dignity?
And somehow I'm guessing he'll spike your wheel just as bad at D&D. Rule 1. A DM's evil plan never survives contact with the PCs.

I thought rule number one was: A sucking chest wound is the GM's way of saying 'hi'. Or is that Proverb number one?

Heh. My old group didn't get into the sucking chest wounds very much, but if you broke out of character too often in a session there would be mysterious and unexplainable accidents like your arm falling off for no reason. Nobody ever did it twice. ;)
