BoloOfEarth Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 I was talking to my daughter last weekend about my upcoming Champions game, where the PCs' foes would be vampires. Through a convoluted conversation I won't go into, she insisted that I needed to make one of the vampires be Elvis (or at least an Elvis impersonator). As I was writing up my game notes, I decided to write a few modified Elvis songs. For example, "Well, a-curse my soul, what's a-wrong with me? I'm itchin' like a bat on a fuzzy tree. My friends say I'm acting wild as a wolf, I'm in love, huh, I vant your blood." When I sang a few of them for my daughter, she shook her head sadly and said, "I regret some of the choices I made this past weekend."

BoloOfEarth Posted November 16, 2018 Report Share Posted November 16, 2018 15 hours ago, Pariah said: Your daughter is awesome! I think so - but I'm admittedly a biased judge. Here's one exchange with her I posted in the Quotes of the Week from My Gaming Group thread: Quote My budding supervillain daughter is watching me map out the building. Her: Where's the armory? Me: ... ?!?! It's a day care center! You don't put an armory in a day care center!! Her: (pause) Maybe it's an EVIL day care center. A few minutes later: Her: So, no poison pit? Me: Nope. Though it does have a ball pit. They never clean those, so it's probably pretty dangerous. 5 hours ago, Christopher said: He is a awesome dad.

Thank you, but I give myself at best a "B+", more likely a "B" as a dad. Parenting is one of those jobs where most of the tests come before the lessons. But I consider myself extremely lucky that my kids (who are age 26 and almost 23) and I are friends as well as parent/children. They turned out pretty good, despite my influence. tkdguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
