Where else can one practice the social skills required to successfully barter with an orc or a nalfeshnee? :-) Implying that D&D is not social is entirely untrue.

Il. comic shop. After all I'm still STUCK in this area (for now) and the alternative is to drive 2 hours to a real city. So I decided on Friday [6-16-06] to visit the shop in question. Since I have a 9-5 job and a real life, I could only get there immediately after work. No problem right? WRONG! The shops friday hours are clearly posted on the door. (open till 5:30) I arrived @ 5:05 p.m. and started into the shop. The jerk kid saw me pull my car up and immediatly headed for the circuit panel. As I walked through the door the lights went out. The kid said "We're closing". [25 minutes early?!?!] He had a buddy waiting on him with multi-faceted dice so the only thing I can conclude is that there was a red hot D&D game to be played. I ignored the fact that they were "Closing" and proceded to ask if Justice was in yet. The jerk kid let out a "you're holding me up" sigh and said, "It won't be in for another few weeks". Actually it comes out next week and if it was a real shop they would probably already have issues in stock and on hold for the street date. just to add to that…(Example #1)
