Ok. Last week I was making a delivery to the residence when I saw Barron in the hallway. He says "Hey, Fridge! You wanna play Dungeons and Dragons this weekend?"
I'm like hellz yeah I wanna play D&D!

I show up with a 12 pack of DC and some Flaming Hot Cheetos. Mrs. Boss had made her famous peanut butter cookies.
(It was the cookies that sealed the deal with Kim Jong Un 😉)

So it's Barron, me, couple of Barron's friends from school, and Blake who's on Barron's Secret Service detail.
Blake is the man. Cool as hell and has crazy stories from Iraq. His favorite is the time he took a dump in Saddam's palace.

In the back of mind, I know Barron is only 12 so I'm thinking to myself "Don't be 4E! Don't be 4E."
Her gets out the books and they are all AD&D 2nd edition! Kid's a superstar. I'm checking out his stash and he's got Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, Spelljammer, even Dark Sun!

Her looks at us and says "Alright, ladies, what are we playing tonight? Are we going to play Dark Sun like men or what?"
As much I respect Blake, he's kinda basic when it comes to D&D and he insisted on Forgotten Realms.

Barron rolls his eyes but runs with it. We roll up characters. I was Bard with an enchanted lute that distorted on it's own and I sang metal songs in honor of Myrkul and Tempus. He was still Chaotic Good because "It's just an act, Mate. It's entertainment."
Blake naturally played a Lawful Stupid paladin of Torm. Barron's friends rounded out the group with a thief and a ranger.
We really needed a cleric to deal with Blake always charging into groups of orcs and kobolds but it was a basic low level fetch quest.

As fun as that was, the real entertainment was Boss was in the other room playing Injustice 2 online with Putin.
The PS4 was a gift from Shinzo Abe.

Vlad is playing as Superman geared out to look like Red Son. Boss of course is Batman with the full set of Kryptonite gear.
Boss doesn't like to wear headphones so we can all hear Vlad yelling "cyka blyat!" while boss chuckles and says repeatedly in a low voice "I am the night."
They played at least 10 matches and Boss ate his lunch every time.
