Cute cartoon!!  I'll give it two thumbs-up. (I have 2 hands, afterall).

As for the article, I'm glad I'm not Israeli.  And on the Security Questionaire, I listed D&D as a hobby.  Still read-on for the Top-Level Clearance in V Corps.  Not to mention a lot of cards and letters from folks I hadn't heard from in years, asking why the FBI was "looking for" and "asking about" me.  They all thought I was in some kind of trouble.  :;):

While I've never been interested in Live-Action D&D, I have since joined the SCA, not exactly reality there, either.

Heh, I was just coming to post about this.  I love that comic.  :D

As was I.

It is amazing to me that the US Army (and special forces) actually use it as a recruitment measure, at gaming can teach tactics, planning, and other things a military mind might need.

Of course there are flakes in the hobby, dreamers and just plain nut cases. Of course those people don't seem to earn good security clearances no matter which military they are in.
