i guess you can put whatever label you want on it, the new D&D is a tactical war game, with minatures, and battle maps, its mostly about statistics, and math, mixed in with a little random chance from rolling dice.
but if you are more comfortable seeing it how you see it who am i to change your stereotype.

Still no women though, right...?
Just a room full of dudes pretending that "tactical war", "minatures" and "dice" don't equal nerd, super nerd and super-uber nerd, right...?

Dude, I make a living off of exploiting stereotypes, so yes, I'm quite comfortable seeing that way.

Car searches
You guys agree or disagree with this? I'm not sure what to think considering I personally know police officers that have found illegal guns, drugs, and dead bodies during these searches.
Everything is a double-edged sword. There are pro's and con's for both arguments. I tend to agree with the current law that upon arrest a vehicle can be searched for, if for no other reason, inventory purposes. If something illegal is found during that search then it should be admissible.

Huh...my gaming group is half female and in our current campaign, there are three female characters and only two men. In fact, I can only recall one gaming group I've been in that was all men.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.
