Extreme silliness at GameScape

Went down to my FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store) to pick up the latest Dragon magazine. While I was there, I wandered back to the small gaming area to see what was going on. It was a Warhammer 40K game. And one of the players was Robin Williams.

He is like that in real life. He was providing sound effects (like teeny-tiny screams when units were attacked, voices for his OrkBoyzs, etc.) He noticed me in my Giants gear, got up, put his hands on my shoulders and said "Son, they lost. Give it up! Move on!"

He had to leave, but it was a wild time.

addition, added at 2027 channel surfing, I caught a bit of the Golden Globes. He was sitting there watching the proceedings looking like anything but a gamer.

What kind of army does he have? The OrkBoyz were his? Damn, I wish I could have seen that.

Robin Williams is a gamer?? There is indeed a Gawd.

Coolness. I've heard he is one of the coolest of the big name celebs.


It is was this morning, he had a reason to take off.

He was at the Gloden Globes this afternoon.

One of the local game shops, CardHaus (or the place where the B-O burns your eyes) had Robin Williams at the grand opening. They have some pics of him with the kid who owns the place. (And I hear Billy Crystal plays AD&D.) BTW, that's CardHaus in the U-District in Seattle.

The thought of Robin Williams in an RPG is downright *terrifying*. As a player *or* as a GM.

Stuff like Warhamster is merely scary.

For *true* terror, picture him channeling Miss Ditzhammer Spofulam (Traveeller Mailing List in-joke)

I talked briefly to him once, when he was taking his family to a Renaissance Faire, but I think your story's better.
